RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted December 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2021 Some years ago, I was in Tesco Metro on Western Avenue in Cardiff at about 3 in the morning on the 23rd of December, because I reckoned it would be less crowded at that time, and it would have been had several hundred other punters not had the same idea... There are about 40 checkouts, all were working flat out, and there was a queue of about 15 minutes for each of them. Now, one of my pastimes in supermarkets if I'm in a queue at a checkout is to look at what the person in front or the one behind have in their baskets or trollies, and make arbitrary and probably unfair and incorrect judgemental comments to myself about the lifestyles that are apparently revealed by said basket/trolley contents. Behind me on this occasion was a guy, early 30s, tall, well dressed in a casual way, with an air of not being married or having kids. He had found it necessary to queue for the car park, and was now queueing for the checkout, in the middle of the night, in order to purchase the following items; one bottle of vinegar, one mains/battery clock radio (but no batteries), one packet of Jacob's cream crackers, and one tube of toothpaste. I failed to make any comments to myself regarding his assumed lifestyle, judegmental or otherwise. The situation was beyond my capactiy to understand or rationalise. 1 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching a recording of a John Wilson Orchestra Proms broadcast yesterday, and I was struck by how close together everyone was. Of course it was BC, and despite the wonderful music, I wondered when we would be able to get back to such carefree gatherings.
