    I just went to my local Tesco (Ipswich) & it actualy wasn't that bad. The mrs got scads of clothes in the sale too. Thought it was going to be mental but it wasn't bad. Not much fresh food left tho.

    There and back in half an hour, job done

    Parked right outside the shop, quieter than a normal Sunday, and straight onto a till as well

    I worked at Sainsbury's on and off for 5 years, doing 4 Christmases, so I know just how bad it can be. I think Chrimbo being on a Saturday has helped this year, less people thinkin two days shut means a nuclear war!

    Seriously, people who work in shops over Christmas deserve a big for putting up with stressed customers and general a**holes! The first Christmas I ever did was 11 1/2 hours on the basket till, with a queue to the back of the shop all day, full of people moaning about queueing up for 1 1/2 hours for three things. You just want to shout, "you came here on ****ing Christmas Eve!

    Have a good one everybody (only two Striders between me and the Citadel)

    Apparently Tesco's over-ordered Turkey's to the tune of 200,000 excess so they are selling them off really cheaply @ around £2 each!

    So if anyone thinks they want more Turkey, you know where to go lol.
