So strange to have that as a peeve.Quote:

The use of such expressions as "The ten-year anniversary".
It's the tenth anniversary 😤
I think people have been saying "Well...." for yonks.Quote:

I think my tendency would be to start that sentence with “Right..”. Not sure if that is an Edinburgh thing. Or ‘Right so...’Quote:

Not using "well" as the first word in response to a question though, which was my peeve.Quote:

Doing the shopping alone the last few weeks has been a small positive in this awful time :greengrin
I’m with you on this I unload my trolley onto belt accordingly too so the stuff comes in order the way I want it packed 😁Quote:

It'll be a challenge on the cube one day. :dizzy:
Wow, men complaining about packing shopping bags! 😕
My ex went ballistic if I didnt pack the bags properly. Christ almighty, chuck it in the bag, throw it in the boot of the car and tip it all out when you get home. Stopped going with her eventually....divorce followed soon after 😂😂😂😂
I used to go shopping with my granny on a Friday afternoon and she was a nightmare about how the trolley was loaded, how the checkout belt was loaded, how the bags were packed and then how the bags were put in the car boot. She was a lovely person and everyone liked her but absolutely no one wanted to take her shopping.
Now I go my own shopping I am exactly the same. I do the weekly shop alone because there is always a fight if the trolley and packing isn't done exactly as I would do them.
Just like her older sister!!!Quote:

I've done more shopping on my own than ever before, and every time I make an erse of it.
At least there's nobody there to give me grief for it.
I don’t think you are Scottish. Everyone knows the response to “How are you?” is “Not bad”, or “Yeah, not bad”.Quote:

Dishwashers and trolleys I can definitely identify with. That and anyone else putting stuff into the fridge or freezer in random places.
WITHOUT ORDER THERE IS ANARCHY!!!!!!!
I put milk, cleaning stuff, washing up liquid and any similar type containers up first, I have a couple of bags on the go and put them at either end of bags and build up stuff in between. I like to keep similar type boxes, plastic trays etc that stack well together and build my bag accordingly, bread always last, I hate crushed bread! 😁Quote:

Theres a golf gti that likes parking on my quiet sidestreet and the guy just sits there, usually with his mates or family members, sometimes drinking and sometimes having a wee joint with his engine running. And its not a quiet engine. It happened at after midnight once and I went out raging and told him to GTF. Him and his mates gave me the hard man stares but just drove off. But they keep coming back, i dont know whats so attractive about my street:confused:
I divide the trolley into different sections depending on how I'm going to pack my bags. Normally I have one cool bag for frozen and cooled items, one that will be emptied in the kitchen, one to be emptied in the cellar and an anything else bag. Obviously packed with the heavier less likely to be damaged items at the bottom. When shopping with the Mrs I'm chief trolley packer, belt loader and bag distribution engineer, leaving her to pay the cashier.Quote:
