The good stuff is further down

Mental meanderings of an old man

A much needed guide for old farts (who still have it) about doing the wild thing past, present and future. With helpfull insight into the hurt and confusion that wasting 23 years on being married can bring.

F**k it why bother.

The main Asda in Bradford opposite the Manchester stadium is a truly wonderful place; It’s where I do my shopping every two weeks. This morning was shop day, most visits I call at the café for a drink and something to eat, but not any more. Cold coffee, toast only done on one side, dirty cutlery, meals that look nothing like the adverts for their food, indifferent (Fat) staff, small portions (Which is probably why the staff are fat) and an inability to take any constructive criticism.

And how could I not mention Asdas tendency to allow nasally challenged, stuttering Yugoslavian rap artists speaking at the speed of light to make announcements over the tannoy.

There, I think that’s it.

It isn't just Asda I can assure you when it comes to toast done on only one side.

What is so hard about doing a bit of toast properly? All they ahve to to is stick it in the commercial toaster. There are two things worse than that... hardly done toast (on either side) which they start buttering ready to wrap, and burnt toast which they also start buttering ready to wrap for you. Even though they know how you like it. Gah! Now I watch them with an eagle eye when they do mine... if it's underdone I tell 'em to put it through the toaster again. And if it's burnt, I tell 'em I don't want it.

I got a dirty look when I told them the last time. But I don't care. I got my properly done toast..... :)

Good for you girl, if no body complains then the toaster will continue to murder a great British institution. I didn’t complain yesterday, my daughter doesn’t like a fuss. But I did try to bring to their attention that the toaster wasn’t running at full steam. I was told in a very snotty way that it was meant to be like that, they were cutting down on electric.
.What’s the point?
