  Still got my ID card Brian, but I seem to have mislaid my ration book! Will have to print one I suppose.

  Virtually no Tesco-brand fizzy drinks in the shop this week.
  
  Is there a co2 shortage or something?

  The CO2 problem started before the World Cup with shops rationing certain brands of soft drinks, I get mine from Poundland and they are always fully stocked.

  Food Warehouse and Marks are both well stocked with fresh produce and drinks of all kinds today. Busy too.

  Food Warehouse is my favourite shop as it caters equally well for people with just a few items in a basket and bulk buyers. A bloke in front of me last time I was in there had a pack of 24 tins of baked beans but the bar code was on the outside meaning it had only to be scanned once. As well as having a great range the shop is efficiently run, once a check out gets busy another one swiftly opens.
