The only time I've been at a supermarket as it opened was one Sunday morning as I was driving home with a mild hangover after a night out and it was 0955 and I thought I'd call in at a large Tesco I was near.

I wasn't expecting there to be a big queue of people outside the door, but they were proper keen - limboing under the steel doors as they raised - and most seemed to be heading for the cafe rather than into the actual shop.

Anyway, is it more or less council to go on a Saturday evening when there's more 'reduced to clear' item available?
If you are that way inclined the cafe can feed a family of four for under a fiver. Sunday brunch sorted.woohooburger

Local Tesco does really good discounts every night at around 7pm.
I dont care if it makes me council, I plan my shopping trips around it!

The other week they had reduced Pilgrims Choice Extra mature cheese from £3.50 to 13P. I bought 10 packs for the freezer.

Actually it might have been Morrison's

Definitely council.

Yes! I've been doing it for years - Grate it first, put it in a box and just take out a handful when you need it.

The Frozen pizza industry would suggest it is!

Yes, frozen pizza - council.

I nominate a number of the members of Total Fitness in Handforth Dean.

A private gum, quite nice and its not cheap at circa fifty quid a month, ok, not David Lloyd or whatever but not cheap.

But, its amazing how peasanty and entitled the behavior is,

Leaving the toilets in a mess, pee on the seat, cant operate a toilet brush,

Divest all the debris from their cars onto the car park, including glass bottles

Park your Lamborghini in a disabled space despite no obvious disability or badge, appreciate not all disabilities are visible and disabled people can own Lambos but think its just laziness, like the parking on the double yellows outside the door, going to exercise ffs, would a short walk kill them ?

Leaving weights everywhere

Leaving bottles on the floor when empty.

Sticking chewing gum on equipment

Reserve a locker for your own use only, by leaving a padlock on it when you leave.


I think gyms are breeding grounds for self centred, ignorant, entitled, narcissitic stbags, obviously not all but it does amaze me how disgusting some folk are, having money seems no barrier to being council.

My brother buys wheels of brie, close to the code and freezes them.

Take a small amount of bicarbonate of soda, fill the key hole with it then squirt some thin superglue into it. It will set like concrete in seconds.

Ok it won't free up the locker but it will inconvenience the selfish bds.

Surely he should be buying Brie months after the code, wait a few months and then eat it?

Not this again!

For the avoidance of doubt, Aldi/Lidl are not council!
The quality of their food / drink is not council, the majority of people in there are though.

Popped in yesterday afternoon, thinking it would be quiet; was full of council & feral types.

People tend to shop locally. So your experience says more about your area than Aldi.

Inform the gym about the padlock thing; my local Puregym comes round and removes any padlocks in the small hours at the weekend with bolt cutter, then chucks anything inside in a bin bag and leaves it for the selfish gits to pick up.

There's normally something in the Ts and Cs about not leaving your stuff in lockers permanently.
