I was, we usually leave it 'til then to grab things like sprouts, couple boxes of peas, mixed veg, etc. Do you think there was a Brussels sprout in either of the huge Dunnes foodmarkets in this leafy, comfortable suburb of Cork? Was there fcuk-buggery, mate. I very nearly Steven Seagal'ed the youngfella working in one of them with his Ironic Post-Modern beard as he gave me an amused look and said "Yeah, mad isn't it? No Sprouts like!!" :mad:

Thanking left, right and centre, but the internet connection is so slow today . My TA is why do other women look at me so suspiciously when I say I don't watch the soaps? I have zero interest in them. I was at a wedding, and a friends wife, asked me what I thought of the latest Eastenders storyline. I said I didn't watch it. You would swear I had just told her I murder babies and eat them raw, the look on her face. She had to call over another friend to say "you won't believe this , but 'Cat doesn't watch the soaps!" I felt like a very interesting specimen altogether

Dunnes was like one of the shops in the first season of The Walking Dead minus all the zombies and carcases. People were resorting to grabbing anything. 1 old dear was proclaiming that she had the last tin of Quality Street in ye olde shoppe. Not a vegetable in sight. But luckily I took another whip past the veg section before checking out. Some stocker had found a box of loose carrots and spuds and just popped them out on my return. Christmas miracle. TA - cooking on Stephens Day a/k/a leftovers day.
