Ice cubes

[LondonMix]

I absolutely don't buy for a second a woman as clued up as you feigning this type of ignorance. Nice try though :)

In exchange for this thing you call 'ice', I have also observed people handing over little rectangles of paper with a posh woman's face on one side.....

Then the best part is, the supermarket hands back little discs of metals with the same posh woman's face on one side....!

Aaah, that'll be that 'money' these blow-ins use, they're too lazy to toil in the fields and lug the fruit of their labours to market to trade for what they need. Instead the slack bastards do something they call 'work', for which they get this new-fandangled 'money' which they use to trade in those shop things for the stuff they think they need, like ice.

Wish we could go back to the good old days.

I'm with London Mix on this. Louisa is our very own Vera Lynn, the 'Forum's Sweetheart', keeping the troops entertained...

FYI.

'blow-ins' gets auto-converted to "@#$%&"

I wish I'd 'discovered' frozen bags of ice cubes much sooner. Why did I ever bother with those bloody stupid novelty pineapple, elephant and flamingo shaped trays as those fuckers never come out no matter how hard you try.

You can get 'artisan' frozen ice cubes Louisa - why have bog standard filtered water ice cubes when you can have posh mineral water ice cubes in niche sizes for ?2 quid a pop instead of a pound eh?

I have since been informed my last useable shop along the lane for day to day essentials at reasonable prices also partakes in this novelty fad of selling ice cubes in a bag. I'm not sure if that was tongue in cheek from said poster just to press my buttons unnecessarily, but I will be checking in Londis tomorrow to see if this indeed is the case.

good old Londis, they had upped their game last time I was there (a long time ago). Is it all farrow & balled now ;)
