There must be someone? It's quite hard to venture out without seeing someone who's been on the telly at some point. Surely these people don't just shop in Sainsbury's?


The famous, notorious or anyone who has been on the telly, ever, for any reason, might like to shop at the Co-op.


Although the Co-op is smaller, people in there might be more likely to be scrutinising the prices than in Sainsbury's, and hence less likely to gawp at you? Also, it's easier to escape from the Co-op, should the need arise.

Define 'famous' please as I haven't a clue as to who most of the ones spotted in Sainsbury's are/were. In fact as I am focussed more on getting in and out of there, be it Sainsb, Co-op, Waitrose, Lidl or wherever before my ice-cream & frozen petit pois turn to mush, it's unlikely that I'll contribute to the thread after this. Caveat: while stocking up on Sainsbury's 3 for ?12 wine recently, I nabbed the last pinot grigio before the woman next to me. Another shopper scowled disapprovingly and told me it was "(insert name)" from Eastenders. (But I guess this should be in "Famous people in Sainsburys"). So there you go. Blissfully clueless.
It would be useful to have a handy guide (like the Observer Book of British Birds) to help identify people who look very familiar but you can't name. It causes quite a lot of social anxiety when the famous are out shopping or walking their dogs and you can't place them and so don't know whether to say hello or not. Honor Oak Rec used to be particularly bad for this, it used to ruin our walks. In this context you tend to be thinking that it's someone's husband you met once, not the bloke from Star Wars. I need to apologise to the Man Who Reads the News for saying hello, how are you, half a dozen times, I wasn't stalking him, I thought I knew him from somewhere. He's terribly polite and never once told me to ****** off.
Well, where do I begin, he was completely blocked the cava fridge there and was grunting and dropping stuff he'd contaminated with his touch, it was most offputting . However the other day I did laugh when the staff there caught the ex male model turned junkie who strides up and down lordship lane looking for stuff to nick) shoving pork chops and chocolate down his half mast beige corduroys

I once saw Ray Mort eating in The Bishop - Ray is best known for his cameo role in Lovejoy. Couldn't believe he was just sat in the Bishop - he was obviously having a great evening and clearly splashing the cash.


I also once saw Jack Nicholson looking at vintage stools on North Cross market.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
