It's Madness Out There....

Is the end of the world nigh?

Please tell me - or is it just Cornwall celebrating?

1. Some 60 people were waiting at the M&S gate from the car park side this morning for the doors to open. It was chaos in there with trolley-bumping to rival a Blackpool dodgems rink. I asked the cashier that I know how much his biggest transaction has been - answer £408 yesterday and all food..... What's the biggest you have seen?

2. Sainsbury's was the same this afternoon - the answer to the above "£370 but I believe one of the girls took £630 - in cash too.

3. I was in my coffee shop early and one other customer there, saying he had been in the bakery when a customer came in and asked to pick up the order for 70, yes 70 loaves. Understandable if it was a soup kitchen but, no, 'it's for the family.' Does he think he's Jesus feeding the 5000?

And as for the traffic around the city,

[ummmm]

Me neither...I'm going to the in-laws.

Presents all bought and wrapped ages ago. Cards posted on the 12th (family tradition) and going away to Aberdeen for Christmas with my daughter and her family. Total relaxation today.

Off to my sister's for the lunch both days, just the evening to cover....salmon, stilchelton, and a rather nice pecan, cranberry and camembert pie that M &S do - plus some dark meat off the bird and christmas cake to follow....
