People that say "I'm going to Tescos, Asdas

Looks like "Sainsbury's" started life without the 's', at any rate:

Super markets?
Commoners.
Our food just appears in cupboards and on plates and stuff - top that.

Wow you must be posh to eat a Potnoodle from a plate.

I can tell you aren't posh at all with cheap jokes like that


On a side note, cuppa soup and pot noodles are some of the only food items I cannot stand. Reminds me of seasickness days

No, no, no! 'Some of the few', or 'some of only a few of'. You can't have 'some' of the 'only'....

Oh, and greeds is of course wrong, he just can't hear the apostrophe.

Oh please!

I beg to differ!

I can see at least TWO 'S' there!

 

[KEEF]

Does one not have servants like wot I do to do ones shopping

 

[Bandini]

etc...... Need shot

no you are not. As you are going to one and not a group of them.

YOU ARE GOING TO BLOODY TESCO!!!!!!!!

YOU ARE GOING TO BLOODY ASDA!!!!!!!!

People who say 'need Shot', rather than 'need shooting', need...a cuddle? A woman who understands them? A holiday?

 

[Gerry Attrick]

How is it that such an anorakky post receives so many responses from otherwise rational folk? (Me included).

 

[Bandini]

Because the shop 'belongs' to Tesco - like we say, 'I am going to Fred's.'

 

[tradman]

As most people go to the doctor's (surgery) to see the doctor, and to the dentist's (surgery) to see the dentist.

 

[tradman]

Having said that, I've never heard anybody say, "I'm going to Asda's". It's always "Asda" (no possessive). It's a funny old world.

We're splitting hairs now aren't we?
