Just been out doing the messages. (Shopping to the uninitiated)
Someone's carrier back had burst and some groceries littered the road.
Car in front of me runs over a large tub of coleslaw.
Big audi coming the other way is now beautifully garnished on the driver's door!
Don't want to be lacking in Christian empathy, but glad it wasn't mine.
Was it ASDA coleslaw or Sainsbury’s though?!

Tesco’s I’m afraid. Don’t think it would make any difference to the audi driver, though the socio-economic compatibility test might suggest he would prefer Sainsbury’s.

Good that God gives us something to smile about even at Tesco!!!

But why do you refer to shopping as ‘doing the messages’? I’ve always been intrigued by this bits of Scottish terminology.

Written “Messages” were sent to the various vendors as orders – butcher, baker, dairy, etc – and then someone went to collect the messages. Think the Big House stocking up, and then the servant who goes to collect the “messages”. A bit like our family set up really. :)) Glad it wasn’t my coleslaw though….or my car.
