Maybe I'm remembering it wrong as was just a young lad when my mum would drag me round them both. Sure it went Fine Fare then Gateway then finally Sommerfield, the one in Hamilton certainly did 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated them then, hate the advert now, and if that the best that Cornwall has to offer as culture they are all close enough to it to all f**k off into the sea. Cornwall's a bit like Edinburgh in that it's now full of home counties wankers that the real natives loathe. Vote Mebyon Kernow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted Wednesday at 22:39 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:39 I remember going to Massey-Liptons in Kirkcaldy, when that shop opened the only competition in the town was Willie Lows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s an almost unprecedented cold front due to come through Texas this weekend, and the highs next week have fallen to 32 (on one day) with a 30-50% chance of rain three days. Overnight lows may actually hit 21 (for one day)… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oystercatcher Posted Thursday at 06:09 Share Posted Thursday at 06:09 If it was 12° in October I'd have the heating on, making a pot of soup and getting ready to hunker down. But it's f@cking July 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you reverse the order they’ll not reach over bananas and eggs to get to tins and bottles and will just put the bananas through first. This, hygiene, and avoiding small talk is why self scan is the only viable option. Touching the same parts of a screen as hundreds of manky b*****ds before you is more hygienic? (anyway, it was Lidl where they only give you the option of 2 manned and two unmanned tills at peak time) ETA: I've been down to the infirmary in Kirkcaldy for a few day trips recently and every time I've been shocked at how most folk don't wash their hands when finished in the bog. Not even a half-arsed token rinse. In a hospital ffs. I won't go into detail about the schemies scrapping around the place, so I'll just say that midweek daytime visits can be, let's say... 'interesting'. Edited Thursday at 09:14 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
