There could be a serial scorpion-dropper-in-your-shoes running about in the UK - how would you know if they haven't visited your neck of the Bearwoods? I wear flip flops a lot so can push the scorpions out of the front(if I spot them !)😁

Does this mean that it's ok to abuse poor grammar, syntax and style at last? Try this:
I mostly go to Tesco's for my shopping? Their not bad, but I could of gone to the Co-op instead? There meat is cheaper on Monday

Well yes. Asda is better IMHO. So do you shop at Asda's? I also hate sentences beginning with 'So'. So do I. It's one of those things which seems to spread like a diseasessssss. That's another one I've noticed recently. Ending sentances where the last letter is usually an 'S' and following it with a snake like sssssss sound. It seems it's mainly women who do it. When my missus does it I just tell her she's leaking again...

Soryy, forgot to answer the question.
Yes, we normally shop at Asda. I used to shop at Tescos but I kept finding items on the receipt which were bought at a discounted price being charged at full price.
That was a long time ago so maybe they are getting better at matching the in store displayed prices with what is printed on rhe receipt.

My wife Rose and I are usually Co-operative and do a Lidl bit of shopping together in Aldi different supermarkets but if there is a long wait Rose starts getting upset and Asda go to Sainsbury.
