  1. I'm in waitWait rose ,and I'm looking for walnut whips ,the two staff I asked had no understanding of the concept.I was treated with a certain of mistrust and concern when I told them that a walnut whip was part of the heritage of this country,
    Now safely in the car park I can see an elderly couple arguing over a packet of crisps.
    BTW they don't sell walnut whips ,but the do a fine selection in M and S

    I think Jive did his best to disguise himself, nice suit, pair of classic brown brogues, that sort of thing.


    Sadly he left a pencil behind his ear......no self respecting Waitrose staff member was going to fall for that now we’re they? :rolleyes:

  4. He was inspecting the plumbing on the refrigeration units. It was the tooth-sucking that gave him away...

    If they were of the younger generation they may not have heard of walnut whips so may have eyed you suspiciously.
    Did they suggest Anne Summers or Love Honey?

    Maybe because there's no such thing as a WALNUT WHIP anymore ...
    They took the WALNUT out of the equation about 2 years ago and there just called WHIP now .

    On a similar vein though . I worked with people and on a regular basis we went into people's houses and they were filthy homes . I often said to colleagues to the effect "Don't they know what STARDROPS is . I was surprised to find quite often my colleagues didn't even know .

    “Waitrose!”


    Isn’t that what Jack said before she freed him with that fire axe she found on the wall, when the water was rising?













    Cryptic...

    Round our way the tradesmen drive the Beemers and own new T5 vans, after doing building work for the people who extend their houses on an annual basis as their children grow bigger. Ordinary folk shop in Tescos, and the zombies shop in Lidl.

    And the local big supermarket in Park Gate is a Waitrose, its actually the closest supermarket to me , about 3km but 500 metres of that is the River Hamble.
