I propose a new East Dulwich society. It will be a secret organisation that, when selfish and unthinking people leave their trolley in Sainsburys right smack bang in the middle of an aisle - or worse the main centre corridor - whilst they nip off to grab something at the other end of the aisle/store will quietly move said trolley to a safe place at least three aisles away.


Who is in?

I would like to join this secret organisation. I'm in. (good idea btw, ED needs something like this. Abandoned trolleys in supermarket aisles are becoming more prevalent and an increasing menace to society)


Please PM the date of the first meeting and joining instructions etc. Cheers :)

I already have a punishment for such people , I just place random items in their abandoned trolley.


When the shopper gets to the till they have to audit the trolley or better still, the items wizz through.

So when they get home & unpack....



"Eh, what the feck did I buy that for ? "



Small joys I know



W**F

Ah but karter, it's just that one wouldn't be able to get past otherwise. I mean, all those shoppers aimlessly pushing their trolleys at a snail's pace and generally faffing about.:))

See I am one of those people who discretely 'parks' a basket sometimes....especially if I forgot an item when I was at the other end of the store, and the basket is full. The reason I park is because if the shop is busy, it's quicker to negotiate the trolley jams and slow lanes on foot than loaded with a full basket or two........does that make me a basket case?

DJKQ,


There is nothing wrong with parking a trolley or a basket somewhere off to the side - I do it myself. But there is the person that is pushing down the middle of the aisle who just stops and abandons it for a minute or two, oblivious to the fact that other people are trying to shop as well.


They are the enemies of the the STMS.

Haha, the worst culprits are the staff! pisses me right off when they block the isle stocking up.


And by far the worst store for this is Sainsbury by the Plough.

Flipping Sunday mornings everyone stocking up racks out up on ladders and not one person on the tills.

Grrrrrr

How about the use of the tannoy system detailing the contents of the shopper in questions' trolley? Perhaps followed by a description of the person last seen with said trolley? You could have shop assistants following around the guilty party relaying reactions back to the person on the tannoy who then shares such findings with the entire store...


not that I think about these things too much... of course... :))

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
