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.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
