    OK, there is no IT angle to this.

    However, I would be willing to let it slide if you could give us a new litle blue v icon.

    I guess bread was not the only thing being raised in this bakery section.

      tenuous but plausible

      The offended Tesco workers were former employees from the mahoosive IBM installation that was closed down in Greenock not long ago, or some equally high tech manufacturing outfit that took advantage of the constituency's pensioner quotient to put up cheap facilities and then folded.

    Oh, and at Moderatrix's comment "Re: No-one else" 'Yes. Someone else. Look up.', posts aren't posted or moderated at the time they're sent. They are done in batches. Probably when the pub opposite El Reg closes. So who can know that they aren't the first?

      In appreciation, although it's -20 celcius outside, I'm gonna get the barman of this pub to crush some bottles, and sprinkle the shards on the ground on the path home.

      Then, I'm gonna crawl 200 metres to the house on hands and knees, naked*, so I can feel true subserviance to 'She-Who-Rules'

    Accused: "The old baguette saw me coming and caught me in the croissants your Honour. I saw the cheesecake and the custard doughnuts and just couldn't stop myself unfortunately. Will I still get my Clubcard points, by the way 'n that?"
