alexist at 06:45pm on 20/09/2004Went hunting around for something in London today. Finally found something close enough. Card got rejected. Huh? My mother called me yesterday to tell me she'd just deposited some wedding presents--bank balance should be fine. I'm suspicious because someone else's card gets rejected at the same time. I don't have my bank's number with me so I have to trek back to North Finchley. Sure enough, bank balance fine. Grrrr.
On the way home, I stop at Tesco. After managing to crawl on my hands and knees and get the LAST 2pt container of full-fat milk (no pints either!) I queue up at the Baskets Only lane. Guy in front of me has 2 baskets, loaded up. I object. He says "it doesn't specify number of baskets, darling. learn to read". Grr. Technically true. Am writing to Tesco; I suspect they never thought people would use multiple baskets to get a trolley's worth of stuff! Wanted to slap asshole's fat face.
And just for fun, when I went back out to get stuff for dinner, there was a mysterious unsalted butter shortage at Waitrose... despite the fact that they had plenty yesterday.
Oh, and I had some annoying woman at the bus stop using me as a target for her moaning about Golders Green property prices. I felt like telling her that 285K for a 2bed flat in Golders Green was actually quite reasonable...
Positive note: Got new Yom Kippur machzor, only £18.60, so ripped off less than expected.
