I don't actually need much so I'm struggling with the age old "basket or trolley" dilemma.

Any advice Johnny?

Where's the conflict as you are beaten to the checkout by a ninja granny with sharp elbows? What is the narrative arc as you explore modern themes of acquisition, consumerism, capitalism and the unbearable lightness of baking? I see no theme, no moral to be drawn, no character development, no cliffhanger leaving the reader wanting more, and, by the end, i had made no emotional connection with the protagonist, caring little if his subsequent trip to barbers for a haircut was successful, or an indictment of popular culture judging merely by appearance. I can not see this story making it in Birchwood, let alone Hollywood.

You're a star.

I'm thinking of reorganising the cutlery drawer at some point this weekend - will you be available to offer handy tips and advice if I need you?

In my case the unusual item was a tin opener. Must think I'm about to go on the rampage with it.
Today I bought some slippers.  Left and right footed of course. £4.99.
Don't know why I bothered with amazon in the first place. The internet seems to be the first port of call for me these days. 
I'll keep the two right footed ones to bore people with at Christmas.

I don't look for stuff on the few times i go to ASDA, the first 'happy to help worker' i see gets where is this where is that.

Then he takes me to everything, when they see me they try to get away but i corner them.

Why ASDA? Decent TESCO near you. Or are you banned?
