there'd be no need for a cooking section since all those ready meals and takeaways means the huge shiny kitchens are never sullied with as much as a used saucepan.

But you to have the equipment all the same, you have to have a big range cooker even if you only know how to use a microwave, and the saucepans absolutely must match the colour of the curtains and hence will need monthly replacements

competition on how many dustbin bags can be put out once a week (actually I've neighbours who win that one weekly with 10 on average! - anyone else count the rubbish bags outside homes? - oh just me.....

With you there!!!! The farmer here puts out an enourmous number of bags each week and I too have to admit to counting them

upsizer children have every new toy on the market usually bought for them by grandma and all hellishly expensive so we better have a toy section and let us not forget the vouchers for tanning parties for 10 year old girls and mobile phones for the 8yr olds (yes there was someone at work who bought a mobile for her 8 yr old daughter)

"Carry on as you are." should do the trick for most people.

If I was a little younger I'd join the band of girls who sit outside pubs in midwinter wearing little strappy tops and rely on the outdoors heaters for warmth. Then in August I'd buy myself some really fashionable boots.

Campaign - "Knock a cyclist off today". The resulting disabilities should have them all cocooned in "safer" 4x4s in no time.

Campaign vigorously for the closure of corner shops and local amenities. Fire-bomb park and ride schemes. Be fussy. Insist that your apples have been sent to South Africa for waxing first.

I'll look after the foraging section there for you. I've heard them all.

"Eeeerrrrghh! A dog might have peed on that mushroom!"
(yes, but the ones you buy definitely lived in chicken poo)

"But there are insects on them!"
(good, more protein, and evidence of a lack of insecticides)

"They aren't mushrooms, they're fungus!"
(fool!)

"My friends kid ate wild cherries, ended up in a coma!"
(you're a liar, and I hate you)

I think you're missing the point, Cab. Foraging would be done, by staff, at Waitrose. By car.

I could be like my sister and buy myself a brand new sofa 18 months after the last brand new sofa (pass� covers or something...). Her salary is pitiful, I don't know how she could prioritise such a thing. Hoping to get the old sofa though

But the upsizer needs the mental tools to make a tit of himself in front of a forager they might meet whilst walking their dog on a sunday morning.

They seem to come well equipped from that point of view IMHO
