Just back from Iceland and Mercadona Nightmare

I am just back from Iceland and Mercadona and the farmers market,what a Nightmare you would think there is going to be a war or something. People have 10 loafs in their baskets or maybe they love Turkey sandwiches or they have a couple of fishes at home. The shops are only closed for a day or 2.

Is it the same panic in the UK?

the worlds going to end

since wee come over most of me and the blessed lady's fall outs have been about shopping even when i was single it was in there and out, even used to get my messages delivered basically i am an ok guy but when i get dragged round shops i look like a man going to explode , so wee have done a deal she can go to the shops when ever she wants and i will keep well away i will do the weekly shop but none of that lets go in here stuff ,i often wonder why women don't like shopping them selves but if the bold one wants to go shopping i will sit in a cafe near by i never get angry at watching the world go by but i would advise going to the las chafas are in company from some of the posts that i have read

Glad to hear from you wifie.Do you think though that they could have left the road layouts as it was until after Xmas as God knows there enough confusion in the shops without the headache of the roads too!
Nice bit of tarmac though.Just a shame there no sign posts ! yet..... maybe after a couple of accidents they will thinks...ooops where are the signs
