Their faces were all hidden behind a thick grey fog

Quote from: ansu on Today at 10:13:29 AMQuite interesting. I have never thought that voting could be such a problem for you. At school our English teacher told us that elections in the UK are no problem, as there are only two parties contrary to us.

Although your teacher is incorrect, I can understand his/her meaning because in practice we seem to live under a two-party system.

In fact, we have several political parties which usually stand at general elections.
The 'two-party' situation is, of course, because most people can only seem to vote for one of the two.  More fools them.

I live in Supermarketland.  All within a few minutes drive.

Our local Aldi car park has electric chargers!  It shares space with Home Bargains and Iceland. Class!  The local Lidl has a basic car park.  Asda car park is under the store. Like Sainsbury's, nice on a hot day. We have a Tesco, with a bog standard car park. Morrison's is on two levels, it's in what was a genuine Army Barracks, Vlad, you would like the buildings I'm sure.

Hmmm. I think that precedes cholesterol tests. Probably excellent 

Quote from: Vlad on Today at 11:28:21 AMLidl, is that a posh Aldi?

Very similar.

From observation of both Lidl do tend to have slightly better car parks. That may be because the ones I've been to have all been new builds while the Aldis have been stores taken over from previous businesses. Cars have got bigger but old car park spaces haven't.

The aisles do seem to be a little wider. This really only offers a small challenge to determined stackers who can and do completely block them. Some customers try but as they only do this as a hobby rather than a profession they have to operate in pairs to get close to any success. Much easier to shove their trolleys out of the way than the heavy shelf stacking ones.

"Take twelve pints of milk, warm from the cow, and turn it with a good spoonful of rennet. Break it well, and put it into a large strainer, in which roll it up and down, that all the whey may run out. The break the curd and wring it again, and more whey will come, so break and wring until no more will come. Work the curds exceedingly, with your hand, in a tray until they become a short uniform paste: then put to it the yolks of eight new laid eggs, two whites, and a pound of fresh butter. Work all this long together, for in the long working consisteth the making them good. The season to your taste with sugar, finely beaten, and put in some cloves and mace in subtle powder: lay them thickly in coffins of fine pastry, and so bake them."

The person who is alleged to have written that - was the son of one of the Gunpowder Plotters!

He also invented what we now know and love as glass wine bottles.

I'm going to plant loads of Lavender to fill a spot that is bare ..
