Goole

Now now Ken, don't get bitter. We all know where the sh*t heap is.

I thought that the brummie would have to get involved. After all how can Brother Avery be taken seriously when the technology of self service at tesco is quite beyond him. Oops I promised not to tell anyone - or perhaps he just wanted "advice" from the assistant. She was wearing a yellow shirt.

Thank goodness not Halloween. "Trick or treat".

I'll have you know i sailed through that check out, requiring assistance from the young lady under a dozen times.

After our discussion at the Gresley game regarding the modern technology phenomenon that has engulfed us, I consider the fact that you actually went through the "quick checkout" a feat worthy of congratulation.

However, I thought you might like this that I scribbled down.


I dump my basket and stare at the screen
Those on screen instructions - what do they mean ?
I think I'll press 'START' and go from there
And I scan my first item without a care
The scanner goes ' beep!' and I'm getting bolder
I'll get the hang before I'm much older
'Place the item in the bag'
(I have done just now, you silly old hag )
Didnt notice the item fell on the floor
So I return it to scan it just once more
Somethings wrong - the light's flashing red
( You get nothing in this game for two in a bed )
Here comes the attendant a smile -a frown
She picks up my bag and rummages round
and waves her card of authorisation
while I quietly curse this modernisation
I'm seething now, but I keep on scanning
Why didn't I stay in the queue I was planning ?
Theres a queue behind me and they're having a smile
but they'll be struggling themselves in just a short while
Well I'm nearly there and it's finish and pay
Can someone kindly show me the way ?
Notes in here and coins in there
Did you use your own bags ? What the hell do I care
Thank you for shopping please take your receipt
Change is dispensed and shopping's complete
What a great idea, a real time saver (?)
And I didn't even get paid for my labour !

Very good Rev. Lutley, but what Andy didn't tell you was that he was ambushed by this very pretty young assistant and frogmarched to the quick checkout and he never even put up a protest. WHY oh why didn't she pick on me. Typical luck of the bluenoses of small heath.

[lutleyyeltz]

Very good Rev. Lutley,

I most certainly am not a man of the cloth - except when I don the tweeds for The Glorious Twelfth!

[watsisnerm]

we went self-service at grove this season actually...you put your own milk and sugar in your coffee..and once thats mastered...tea has to have the bag squeezed and removed then milk and sugar...

I know it's bullsh*t and fantasy but there's rumours that Rivaldo will sign for Goole...

[yeltz85]

It will all end in tears.
