Rot shop !

[woofmarkthedog]

Oh yeah we can all buy coriander & a couple of Gu pots, a bag of Jersey royals & organic apples.

Trophy baskets!

But what about the "Rot shop" the net of shame?

Tonight I bought......

2 bottles of wine (discounted)

Zantac

10 marlboro lites (yes 10)

Large free range eggs (19p off)

It felt dirty .......but good!

W**F

* C'mon.....Fess up.......no facin' though*

Many years ago my uncle bought a reduced fresh turkey from Birmingham Bull Ring market on Christmas Eve. When he unwrapped it at home it only had one leg (true story). Does this count as a rot shop?

[Mick Mac]

Is the 2x wine and the Zantac sold in a bundle?

Sadly no! it breaks the "cause & cure " procurement rule.

[KalamityKel]

Woof my dear are u trying to b posh with this term of "rot shop" sounds very much like a visit to Londis... ;-)

[jollybaby]

At least your eggs were free range

[Moos]

Bah, jellybaby beat me to it, but I was just about to blow the ref's whistle on free range eggs too. They should have been white barn eggs. And one of them should have been broken in the box and leaking onto your open pack of fags. Which you would have smoked anyway.

[woofmarkthedog]

But they were 19p off & that's the "rot"

[Keef]

My dirty shop from the Tesco express is usually

Steak & Kidney Pukka Pie

Large jam doughnut

4 pint size Stellas (normally I wouldn't choose Stella, but the selection is rubbish)

Bottle of Bulmers

A bottle Yop (either flavour)

Small pack of golden vaginia

pack of large siver rizla

Now that is a good night in, I can tell you!

[woofmarkthedog]

Nice Keef

It must be a Sydenham thing the "rot"

Coz it seems to be well set in up here!

[silverfox]

Folding chair...check. Flask with hot coffee...check. Dog-eared copy of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire...check. Earplugs so don't have to listen to others' life stories...check.

Right, I'm off to join the queue at William Rose to get some reduced off-cuts. Like Oates, I "...may be some time..."

[woofmarkthedog]

Here's a "Rot shop" I've noticed & probably invented by a guilty strayed Catholic like myself.

Sainsbury "Ham(fag)ends" you know the nasty knobby ends ect 100g = ?1.00 or there about plus the "Rot shop" shame of buying them.

But you look at at the "how'd you wan't it sliced " ham on offer ........at 89p for 100g...

OOOooh Fury at the "ham slags" that they are...

W**F

This takes the biscuit (Crawford's Broken, obviously)

[woofmarkthedog]

Indeed *Bob*

However "Cutters choice" is 30 whole rot pence cheaper

There is always an error of judgement within the "Rot shop" and this one stands right out for Keef.

W**F

[*Bob*]

How about a romantic 'rot dinner'?

One of our friends went on a second date with a fella - he offered to cook for for at his place.

The (now legendary) dinner consisted of:

Starter - Angel Delight

Main - Bernard Matthews Turkey Roast, Served with tinned potatoes, Branston Pickle, Crisps and a sliced boiled egg.

Dessert - Neapolitan Ice Cream.

BEAT THAT

[Keef]

Can't be done, that is the prize winner! Can I just point out though that my shop isn't representative of our general household shops. It's just what I'll do if I have the chance! ;-)

[bigbadwolf]

I have to take my hat off to your 'friend' *Bob* as that menu certainly would've brought a halt in conversation. Do you guys mind if I have a go?

Starter: Bombay bad boy pot noodle.

Main: Tin of heated up corned beef served with baked beans and half cooked garlic bread.

Dessert: Melted Vienetta.

Oh and how are you liking the new Tesco express (Kirkdale?) Keef? I haven't been in there yet, do they stay open till late?

[woofmarkthedog]

I discovered my ex-wife in a proper "Rot off" ,we lived on the top floor & she didn't hear me come in.

She was prone on the bed eating tuna,sweetcorn,mayo pasta mix with a spoon straight out of the pan.

Eastenders was blaring out & she was ..ahem ..."having a mosey round the ladygarden" at the same time.

Ehhh......Quality!

W**F

( I of course withdrew from the "scenario" as quietly as I could )

[*Bob*]

That is rotten.

Though the way you describe the scenario, it sounds like you were trying to burgle her flat or something?

Now that would take the rot-cake.

[bigbadwolf]

What did the room smell like Woof, you know...since she was in 'mid flick' so to speak. Did it smell of rot or just...well...you know, tuna.

[woofmarkthedog]

I dipped her purse & went to the pub!

Everyone's happy.

[bigbadwolf]

From what you describe Woof it seems she was dipping her 'purse' long before you got there.

Wolfie

Well the bin needed to go out, but the dog sh1t on next doors balcony mingled with the tuna.

That and the Eastenders theme tune created an unforgettable "musky symphony", a near perfect bouquet of "Rot" likes of which I have yet to "nose" since.

W**F

[woofmarkthedog]

By the way, I'm Woofs partner and I've just read this thread and funny as it is, can I just say that I'm not married to him, after 10 years, and thats his EX wife he's talking about - just in case any of you know me!!!!!

Miss D

ps I never watch Eastenders...
