Re: Shoppers
Well when it comes to the weekly food shop I think I've cracked it
Since absolutely no one round here speaks English it's preferable if OH goes into the supermarket while I take our two Newfies round the back of the store for a walk and then sit on the bench outside and wait for her to come out. Therefore:-a) I never get stuck behind the 'aisle blockers' having a gossip
b) I never get stuck behind the people who can't find their credit card, or it doesn't work, or whatever
c) Best of all I never have to breathe the germs expelled by those with diseases coughing every where.
It must work 'cos in seven years I've never had the lurgi or anything nasty, OH of course has been down with flu, and other things many times.

Oh yes, but what use would I be to Mrs. Losos inside the store, picking up things she says we don't need, picking the wrong things because I can't read some of the cooking instructions, and going to slow down the aisles of apple pies and creme cakes 
And she hasn't quite got the physique to hang on to two (65 Kgs each) Newfoundlands when they spot a pheasant in the long grass
It's not democracy, it's not even sexual equality, but it works for us

Re: Shoppers
I am a really patient person, so usually don't bother much about other shoppers & their habits.But when I visited my daughter when she was studying in London I was really scared. We were at the local supermarket and a young man kept banging into our shopping trolley (is that the right word) and also kept saying threathening things. And my daughter whispered in my ear; don't look into his eyes, don't say anything, we just leave. And so we did.
