and I don't blame her, what is 'surriously' is that another way of saying 'cereal'

 that was all the go for a while - cereal ??

who comes up with this stuff ??

and don't get me started on pernickety LOL

That is the point isn't it? The difference between a NZ'er or, for example, an Irish person making a Kiwi or Irish joke (about themselves basically) and another person who doesn't come from either of those countries making Kiwi or Irish jokes?

OMG - I just realised I have admitted on an open public forum that I am a Kiwi...........

I am going to another thread now to beat up some other poor unsuspecting members............

I remember when you could by just one of an item. Before the 'two for' thing started happening. Seems like just yesterday. I don't want 2 cans of soup, I want 1. Jeez.

I also remember the shop cat lying on the counter, and the shopkeeper going down to the cellar to get some cheese or flour etc.

Wouldn't see a cat on the supermarket counter these days. lol. I hated that cat, he was eye level with me and a hisser.

Katy-the "two for"thing is annoying-some of the stuff has use by dates..mumble mumble.

My other problem with the supermarkets is the-cheaper price if you are a member.

One price for all -without filling in a form with all your personal details-

that they use and pass on to other companies...........Richo.

[j*oono]

I don't mind that Richo.  Having a membership card means they can see the things that I mostly buy each week and then send me an email to let me know that "my things" are on special.

Some people see it as an invasion of privacy but I don't care who knows what I buy at the supermarket. I don't think they have passed on my details to anyone else or if they have I never get spam.

I hate the two for specials also and I rarely use them.

Milk money. I still call a handful of small change "milk money".
