I've been shopping.

I had no intention of going shopping, but I needed something from the pharmacist for my daughter.

It was horrible out there. Apart from what I went for, I bought absolutely nothing. There was nothing I wanted enough to join the payment queues. Actually, there was nothing I wanted...

I venture out to Cambridge tomorrow, but will be checking the taverns are still okay.

Award yourself a vat of wine.

I will do that. I am fit to be tied. Still.

Last night the Militant Electrician returned from a shopping excursion with her rich uncle. They were supposed to exchange undergarments of small size for garments of larger size.

She pranced across the threshhold in a WHITE Helly-Hansen Spyder Thinsulate® shell. WHITE. WHITE. did I say, WHITE? all over. "Rigorously tested by top athletes across the world, Spyder embodies a passion for performance --the same passion driving you to your next adrenaline rush," says the garment tag.

very stylish. tailored to a T. as in three more months of useful wear.

And four more of the wrong size long underwear.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

Following your failure to spend money frivolously, if the British economy collapses followed by a downturn in the EU causing meltdown in the US rippling through and starting a global financial meltdown initiating regional resources wars escalating to nuclear bomb exchanges between Pakistan, India, and China ....

WE'LL KNOW WHO TO BLAME!

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Fair enough.

When it comes time for the Lay the Blame Trials you can be a co-defendant with Sassafras.

I bought a tank full of petrol today. Does that count as a significant economic contribution, do you think?

Well if its a significant economic contribution, then its a significant environmental crime. ;)

One measly tank of ... petrol?  (That's gas, right? :-)

Nope.  Sorry.  Doesn't hack it on the face of it.  

Now if you're going to use that fuel to motor needlessly to the Outer Hebrides to grab a pack of cigarettes THAT would count!
