Then apologise to Louisa?

I see the Cheese block have won a Time Out award for 'this is the place to be seen' waiting in line for cheese

Well done

Just another symptom of a bigger ED illness associated with being seen in specific locations to fit in with the 'cool kids'. Whether it be eating at a restaurant on opening night, walking down the lane on a weekend afternoon looking at people hoping they're looking back at you, or queuing for a product which you could have got in Sainsbury's et al weeks ago. Yep, the 'look at me' illness can be blamed on sneering older/working class people judging others, or it can be taken at face value for what it is. Place ya bets now!

This may be another Seabag post-truth.

I may open a shop that sells absolutely nothing, but it'll have a line of people waiting to be seen. Appointments to 'be seen' can be booked and bags stuffed with paper, to make it look like you've got 'something' will be included in the deal.

Or who'd have thought that a tiny shop that sells stuff for the Xmas holiday, might get busier than normal and you'd have to wait outside

I know, quite mad, but so so maddening for those who are just there to be seen being there. I mean, what are the real shoppers doing getting in the way, buying cheese for Christmas, then going home. I ask you.

Do yourself and other a festive favour Lou. Turn the heat down, stop exhausting the rubbish from your brain for a bit. Don't you know its a holiday that some have worked for.

And those people will go back to work soon, while you'll yet again flick the TV on and recover on the sofa from the nite before, on your own.

Too late dear Seabag, they had those back in the day in Russia where the single whisper of food being in a shop started a queue even if there was nothing there...

I guess Louisa would rather replace places like the cheese shop with poundcheeseland or icecheeseland ! 😳

[maxxi]

Lou's quite right - I've seen those 'look-at-me' little old ladies queuing outside the Post Office in the morning - before it's even open! Not to mention those 'look-I-use-public-transport!' types that love to be seen queuing at bus stops - bloody show offs.

Same old, same old shite.

Really tedious and really objectionable.

[binkylilyput]

Camberwell sexual health clinic often has a cue of people outside who are certainly looking to be seen.

People really are weird. Why would anyone want to visit an independent cheese, meat or fish shop to buy something a little special or different for the festive period?

[DulwichFox]

To be honest.. Let's look at the options...

1. Queue up for 20-30 mins to get served at one of the local independent outlets.

Get to your turn to find sold out of want you want. ?

2. Shop at one of the large Supermarkets and queue for 20 - 30 mins to pay.

Get to pick what you want. Choose the item that best suits you.

I know, beats me.

I just eat the same as I eat the rest of the year, and force everybody else in the family to do the same. I can't understand why anybody would do anything else.

Something special for Christmas? Bizarre.

Why would something from a specialist cheese shop be any better than a chunk of mild Cheddar from the Co-op wrapped in plastic?

And as for queuing to get it, well clearly those people are far more interested in being seen than in buying food.

I am going to stop going out in ED, in case somebody sees me and thinks I am only walking down the road in order to be seen in ED.

Going to put a smiley now, in case anybody takes my post seriously. Here it is:

:))

[teddyboy23]

Sue you had me believing😀

[teddyboy23]

I know you lot won't believe this.but on the run up to Xmas.I saw loads of toddlers Queuing up to see Santa.I blame the parents.I couldn't believe how excited the little ones looked.knowing everyone was looking at them.crazy world!

[DulwichFox]

Well.. Christmas to me was just another Sunday.. and Sunday is just another day..

I eat the same things as I would on any other day.. Nothing special..

I don't eat MORE than I normally would. I don't drink MORE (Alcohol) than I normally would.

Christmas means nothing to me..

...and NYE. I will drink what I drink on any given day. a couple of pints and perhaps a drop of Rum. ?

...and hopefully get home before midnight and miss all the idiots staggering home and puking every where.

Cannot wait for it all to be over.

Foxy.

It's a lovely thought Foxter, but many people often buy cheese and stuff in a quaint way.

The old eyecrometer is often employed "Hmm a beit more to the left, right a bit" when judging how much cheese or pate a person might want to buy.

So buying in a supermarket is fine if the selection is good, but I'd bet many people go to places like the cheese block to see help with choosing. It's like if you think you like Edam, the shop might suggest you try Jarlesberg too. That's not the case in most supermarkets.

Designed to wind people up. It clearly works!

What a load of old rubbish. Pay double what you'd pay in the supermarket for the same/similar item(s), and probably end up taking home more than you initially wanted/needed. And apparently get service with a smile according to some above. Yep I'll stick to the supermarket thanks. I don't need to be seen buying stuff, Christmas or no Christmas.

Louisa.

[DulwichFox]

Would people want to be seen buying condoms... lol ?

Like. 'Do you have anything a little bigger? ' Spoken in a LOUD voice..

[Sue]

Sounds like you both had a really joyful Christmas, Fox and Louisa.

Did you spend it together?

Yeh. I'm easily wound up by (expletive deleted) s.

[Seabag]

Presumably you're on view in a supermarket too, no?

I'm sure dozens of people saw me in Waitrose Marylebone high street, buying my cheese. Great selection and pricing.

Louisa is just being the same bitchy old cow she's always been. Same old insecure "me clever, them stupid" gig.

[FJDGoose]

When Louisa says she doesn't need to be seen buying stuff, what she probably means is the opposite.

No, having no family, I spent it alone like I do every year.

Hope that makes you feel better in yourself.
