Early morning, I miss Woodys!

@Four Eyes. Thanks - that's brilliant. The punchline with the tower block now also makes sense.

Tyrells do them, but miss annie won't approve.

Ditto. How strange. I found the whole event a little too busy, and I'm just not used to that many children.

Arkady

?

tosscat

Maybe I should have checked in.

Is there a technical problem, private chat seems to be leaking onto the public forum?

tosscat

It's not private chat; just chat.

sincers

I'm curious too.

miss annie

Best not to delve too deeply into other people's brief encounters.

Arkady

How brief was it tosscat?

tosscat

Really really brief, hence the double apology I think.

Four Eyes

Sorry to go back to the crisp discussion but I've just discovered the Tesco Express on 7SR sells Seabrooks Cheese & Onion. Cancel that order miss annie!

Oh, appearance-wise? No apology necessary, it's quite common.

sincers

Methinks they doth protest too much. Come on, lets have it.

I need to know is a Jaffa Cake a Cake or a biscuit?

miss annie

It is a cake. The definition (as far as I'm concerned at least), being that a biscuit goes soft when stale whereas a cake goes hard. There was some kind of protracted legal battle over tax on Jaffa Cakes I believe.

Detritus

Look your a girl and therefore wrong, coz we all know girls are stupid and smell of wee. Plus i know that Wikipedia says its a Cake but there wrong and smell of wee Its a biscuit! <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cakes>;

tosscat

I'm not going to be that person.

Since those last VAT rises, crisp prices have got ridiculous. Even Transform-a-Snacks are now up to 30p (albeit in slightly bigger bags than before).

Back to the matter at hand, Woody's used to do delicious flatbreads stuffed with spiced potato. Those were bloody good. And they had decent baklava, and a good range, often, of fruit and veg at decent prices (and often v good tomatoes). I wonder if they became so shabby because they knew they were shutting? I for one would MUCH rather have a slightly shabby Woody's there than a bloody Sainsbury's.

In South Africa where I grew up there were very good tomato-sauce flavoured chips; similarly, a good chutney flavour. (I find the idea of a derivative flavouring quite interesting)

I agree that it's a shame Sainsbury's hasn't gone 24 hours. I'm especially of this view at 3am on a Sunday morning.

Every time I go into Sainsburys my heart sinks. I walked out again today without buying anything.

wisteria53

I do buy things there, but only because I dislike Tesco.

krappyrubsnif

Wisty, if love is a choice of tortilla wraps and reliable supplies of olive bread, I am in love with Tesco.

MHP

I often shop at Sainsbury, For one it's nearer to me, and if you're shrewd you can get some bargains also I'd rather pay a little more than have to queue in Tesco for ages. And on the whole the staff are much nicer. I don't miss Woodys one bit!
