What to stick on his windscreen which wont come off easily? [OT]

That would depend, you may need food,. being disabled doesn't remove that.

Good try :-)

I was. If I'd behaved like the brats you see in the supermarket, I'd have deserved the smack I'd have got.

Because I'm a customer. The kids aren't. Their parents are, but they aren't.

Not all kids run about screaming in supermarkets while their fat mouth- breathing parents stock their trolleys up with frozen junk food. I'd suspect there's a reasonable correlation.

I think I missed that particular referendum.

I think so.

I bet you, in particular, have ingested a fair bit of E901...

I prefer to get the half-decent fresh fruit and veg, and make my own decisions as to alternates if they're out of something I want. I also rarely know a two-hour slot when I'm going to be home a couple of days in advance. As for "later in the evening", why? If I'm passing a supermarket, why shouldn't I use it there and then? Why shouldn't I have a glass or two of wine with my dinner - a dinner that I've decided to cook using (relatively) fresh ingredients bought that day?

Why should I be inconvenienced by somebody else's irresponsibility?

I think that if my leg had freshly dropped off or my organs suddenly packed in, I'd be heading for the hospital before Tesco...

Wimp. ;) Food first medical attention second.

Wow! A gracious apology for a misunderstanding on Usenet? Surely some mistake? Anyway, gracefully accepted.

Ill behaved children do annoy me, but mostly it's the "I wouldn't have been allowed to do that" grump, and I think it's a case of the noticeable minority. By the way, my wife has just read this thread and told me that I come across as a Grumpy Old Man (I'm 32, but may have to confess to being a GOM since early teens).

I'm not entirely convinced of the causal link there, but I think there's enough evidence that we really need a proper double blind study. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence that kids fed a proper diet in schools behave better. There's really no excuse for the crap that schools have been feeding them, and if I did have kids, they'd be on lunchboxes or would come home for lunch.

Excuse me while I envy.

We get things like cleaning products from the supermarket, we only get food when I've not had time to shop. We grow what makes sense on the space we've got, mostly salad crops and posh spuds, with some tomatoes and soft fruit.

I pot smoking acquaintance was seen in the supermarket scrutinising the labels on cans because he didn't want any of those chemicals in his food

- presumably chemicals are only harmful if ingested not smoked

The unauthorised parker has temporarily deprived the space owner of enjoyment of their property so can have no real objection to similar treatment.

Try using Golden Syrup or molasses

And if it dents that easily then it ain't a good one anyway.

In most cases there is absolutely no need to take a kid or kids anywhere near a supermarket I was never dragged round shops kicking and screaming and allowed to stand or sit in trolleys where others have to put their food . I saw one bitch standing her bloody kid on the checkout belt in Sainsburys today back in the late forties and early fifties one of our parents used to look after us while the other did the shopping . These days parents would sooner inconvenience other shoppers with their blasted lids than look after them themselves at home .

My thoughts also damn nuisance the lot of them mind you stores don't help when they go providing changing rooms and special parking spaces for them .

My friend does exactly the same and makes a point of parking in a P&C even if the disabled spaces are empty he is nearly 60 and Mother 89 he has had many laughs doing this .Sod em they should not take their YOUNG kids to supermarkets end of story .

"Sue Begg" emitted :

Do you suggest your acquaintance *actively* seek chemicals in his food, to supplement the ones he's already exposing himself to? ;-)

I don't know, I can't find friggin' milk on the Tesco website. Skimmed, semi-skimmed, Jersey, long life, soya, chocolate milk, ... no friggin' milk though.

Every little helps :-)

Not controlling them so they don't piss everybody else in the store off.

Is online shopping not available to them?

Personal preference.

let members of their family run wild.

No, but you can teach them how to behave. That seems a spectacularly unfashionable approach - and look where it's taking us.

Yes. It usually gets ignored. If I then ask the parent politely to please move their child, it often gets a disgusted look and a huff.

They seem unable to understand their parents asking them to sit quietly and stop hitting their sister.

I don't often have to emergency stop a trolley because adults are chasing each other up and down aisles.
