I've done my shop there for the week now and not due to go back there till next weekend. It wouldn't surprise me if they've stopped as I've noticed a lot of shelves now (refrigerated and non) are veering towards stocking other ethnic supplies, pushing more and more of the usual stuff out.

Re: supermarkets
I haven't heard the word 'blether' in 30 years! Things that annoy me are, we don't have a tesco! Ignorant people face down glued to their phones like the world will end if they miss a message. They walk straight into you then look bewildered as to why you saw them coming and didn't move. Last week it happened and I made an exagerated move in the air with my arm to protect my face from being hit and sent her phone flying. Self important idiot! When they wash the meat and think your too stupid to know! When they sand yapping blocking the aisle. I'm also sick to death of buying fruit and veg and having to run to the car and risking being pulled over for speeding just so I can get it home before it rots!!! Arggg. But the one that peeves me the most is when I take my 12 year old and the 15 year old checkout chick asks her 'shouldn't you be in school?' My daugher always asks her if this job was her career choice or is she just filling in time till the next round of potential brain surgeons are rounded up. Geez I hate shopping!

Robyn darlin' - I have the same problem here, but carrying a walking stick I stand still, brace myself for the collision then tell them in a loud voice "Head up, eyes front, look where you're going"!!!

Re: supermarkets
What gets my dander up is the seasonal sales, particularly if you have to pass through a women's wear outlet like M&S.They all seem possessed of an acquisitional panic as they rush hither and thither grabbing trophies off the rails. They don't bother to look where they are going being hell bent on hoovering the merchandise and you are in severe possibility of being obliterated .
I have found though that if you place your feet apart the width of your shoulders bend your knees and turn the front shoulder out in the manner of a rugby block it works a treat. Due to their hast they will be off balance and in the ensuing collision will ricochet off into the discarded haberdashery.
Well worth practising the technique to ensure you are effective.
