	true Kense, do you think we could be in for an epidemic of "older" ladies in similar situations?

	I can remember many years ago (lived at 7 Cranley Gardens, SW7 in early 1970's - true) being banned from Zetland Arms. Can't remember why though. :-S Quite an accolade to be banned from Tesco, MH. Their sales are dodgy at mo, and they will lose a lot if sales of Winalot (groan, I know) suffer. :-D ;-)

	It's not just Tesco, several people seem to have been banned from Woolworths. No wonder they went bust. :-)

	Well done Mildred. I have a similar tale to tell! I too was queuing up in the Upmarket Supermarket, and I too had a basketfull of dog food. Some wag [sorry!] behind me, chortled loudly, and said 'Gotta dog have you?' I do have a superscilious look sometimes, and replied very straight faced. 'No, actually I use them for my huband's sandwiches, he really enjoys them' Stunned silence, and he still wasn't sure............. made me chuckle!

	Love that story I have to say my best with Tesco´s was when I emptied (almost) their bags of cheap nappy sacks..A couple close by looked amazed at me so I just said "incontinent child" and walked away. I was slightly deflated but highly amused at the check out when I put all the nappy sack bags on the belt and the lass said "how many dogs do you have" !!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
