The recent "Winters on it's way" thread was rather wonderful ;-)

Totally OT for this ng but worth a look:

This is still on display at a Tesco store at Bradley Stoke near here.

That is Truly Wonderful. My local Co-op is Fortnum and Mason
by comparison. Apart from the greengrocer's apostrophes there is that
fact that the notice should say "Women's", not "Woman's", and
furthermore what I want to know is where are the "Men's bras and
knickers"? It's actually a deliberate policy on the part of Tesco,
of course, to make the punters feel at home and not intimidate them
with elitism.


Yes - it makes the 'ten items or less' pale into insignificance.
