Sainsburys, Porsche drivers and other animals

Well gentle reader what delights do I have to share with you at the moment. Sainsburys in Huddersfield have just redeveloped their Shorehead store. During the course of the revamp all of the signage was left in place and this is the point of my rant. The store opening times stated clearly that the store was open until midnight. I arrived at 9.50 and at 10pm an announcement came over the tannoy insisting that everybody left as the store was closing and anybody inside was made to feel very uncomfortable by the staff. Note to Justin King if the sign says that you are open until midnight don't be surprised when people turn up at 10pm.

I have also had occasion to use Asda in recent weeks and if Sainsbury's don't get their act together sharpish I will be taking Alison's money up there!! But I did get a degree of satisfaction in smiting a Porsche driver in the car park. I was about to leave when a woman in her 50s driving a Porsche pulled into a parking spot by a parent and child sign. I challenged her and got a mouthful of abuse for my trouble. So I enlisted the three car parl attendants who said that they had told the store to remove the signs because they expected such incidents. I left two of them lying in wait for the gobby Porsche driver.

Oh by the way if you happen to know which 3 year old was responsible for the design of the new car park take their crayons away as their dad clearlt didn't notice their contribution to the design process. Second note to Justin King - disabled people need their car parking spaces CLOSER to the store NOT further away.

It is my birthday next weekend and my battle with the reaper goes ever on. I got my first birthday card today. It was from Matalan. I am waiting with baited breath to see which friends and family remember my impending slide down towards the grave.

I have been watching series 2 of The Wire. I don't think the story is as good as series one but it is still better than most TV. Congratulations to Leinster who won the commentators nightmare final against Leicester.
