ChrisHB 10 Feb 5:12pm, 10 Feb 2025 23,403 posts	Quote Pin ChrisHB The travelator at Sainsbury's did not break while I was half-way up it with a heavy trolley. But I must admit, in maybe five years since the shop opened, it is the first time a travelator or lift has broken. [ frequently about half of them are out of service, and there is no redundancy ] Also, nearly everybody in Redhill could find something better to do this afternoon than go to Sainsbury's.

And fish out the non-rexyclable things. And then wonder why I even pick this particular battle because I suspect the vast majority isn't recycled anyway ]

I have to say something very similar every time to OH Carp. It's not crisp packets but it's the same sort of 'crinkly' stuff - wrappers round biscuits etc.

It does mean having to remember to take them with you though when you go shopping. I'm always forgetting until I end up with a huge amount cluttering the house!]
