28th Sept 2007? Approx 5:00ish. A female? With hair of some colour? Two arms? Two Legs?

A face of some sort? With at least one nose, a mouth and a pair of almost matching ears?

You had a basket if I'm not mistaken. There were groceries in it unless I'm much mistaken. Did some have Sainsbury's logos?

I'm nearly almost positively sure that I might have been somewhere in the same postal district

and I'll be happpy to bear witness to your embarrassment in whatever chamber of the law you choose

to pursue it.


It was a Tuesday, right?

I'm sorry to hear about your terrible fall. I hope the physical injury and psychological damage caused to you will go with time.


I too fell once, in Tescos. Of course, it was my own fault as I was eyeing up the cute guy in the next queue. The embarrassment still lives with me, as I struggled to right myself.


Are you seeking damages? I imagine even a few thousand pound may not heal the trauma you have been through and to such a huge organisation as Sainsbury's, it will hardly dent their huge profits.


I feel for you. I can almost hear the screams in my head now.


Have you considered internet shopping?

Oh that was you,was it? I still laugh about it.


Glad you recovered.

I saw the whole thing. You were pushed. There were three of them, two security guys and the fellow promoting the AA! The kicked you while you were down and were laughing cruelly. Once you got up they rushed up with a 'Wet Floor' sign and pretended it had been there all the time. How much do I get? perjury doesn't come cheap, ask Paul Burrell!

I presume that you (a) took the name and phone number of the 'kind customer' - which sort of seems like a sensible thing to have done. That (b) that you must have got a severe injury - otherwise you wouldn't have needed to 'scream' - therefore there will be records of your injury available to your 'no win no pay' lawyers, and that © you have been in hospital recovering from your injuries for the past 4.5 months, because obviously if this is bona fide it is far more likely that you would have got a response on the 29th September than now.


Or has April Fools Day come early this year?!

Oh, honestly the cynicism of some people. It fair makes a person weep, it really does.

Just as an idle matter of interest and curiosity, having done a First Aid for Workplace type course, Sainsburys would or should have entered the Incident in their Accident Book.


Are they saying it did not happen?


And yes, you lot are mean, but funny. Very funny.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
