Lady with pink hair in sainsburys today.


Recommended Posts

Today while shopping in sainsburys ed pI was approached by a lovely woman who commented on how fantastic she thought I looked. I would just like to say thank you again for making my day, you weren't to know but although I have at the moment a lovely head of pink hair I am actually undergoing chemotherapy , and after some awful days when you feel like a wreck today's comment really cheered me up. So whoever you are THANK YOU.

Kind words from strangers can have a major positive impact. I still remember a moment in 1992 when I was struggling with my shopping in Sainsbury's with a new born in a sling and a fractious toddler in the trolley. I was exhausted, stressed and feeling pretty terrible. An elderly woman quietly commented to me "you are doing a terrific job, well done".


It made me feel so much better, and I now try and say positive things to parents in the same situation.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
