Title: Forward planning
Post by: STEMO on 26 May 2017, 11:09:26
It's a bank holiday weekend, and it's going to be warm, or even hot...right? We've known about this since last weekend, right? People are going to fire up the barbecue, right?
Just been to Asda, not a fickin burger or a sausage in sight, just empty shelves. Tossers.

I'm not having a barbie doll, I'm off to Whitby.  :P But all the overweight bints, shopping for their overweight husbands, and with two overweight children in tow, were most indignant.  ;D

Try Costco, their meat is seriously good. Already have some beef in the fridge, might have a BBQ tonight.  8)

Same, you have to buy big packs, but last time we had a heat wave I bought a load and stuck some in the freezer. Tonight some will get defrosted for tomorrow, saves the normal rush at times like this. Stock up when the weather is not so good.  :)

So how does Costco work? I've never had cause to visit one. Do you have to (pretend to) have a business or can Joe Public visit also?

Certain companies are 'on the list' e.g. Sky are, so I'm a normal member. But if you have a company, it's easy and you can be trade and claim VAT back.

There is good stuff there, not all is cheap but generally it's very good. I like the fact they pack the trolley for you at the till  :D

How about road kill as an alternative? Enough cheap booze and nobody will notice. :y

Much like the local BP here frequently running out of fuel when the F1 weekend is on.  Still, they always have plenty of coffee and cake to sell....

We had a cracker on holibobs, you could hear it getting nearer and nearer as laying in bed trying to sleep, when one cracked right on to of us, knocking out all the electrics in the area.  In the morning, reset all the trips in the upstairs fuseboard (virtually every one had tripped), but still no tizzy, so went out for a bite to eat, and visit.

Got back around 3pm, still no leccy, but pool's pump was running.  It was then we found another fusebox downstairs. Most of them had fired as well.  DOH!
