Again, his "gang trolling" is entirely down to him being a walloper, gets all he deserves. PS Quite often withing minutes of posting, like his latest drivel. A lot like yourself in fact. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faraway saint 27,178 Report post Posted February 17 I decided to join the gang, wen't down to Aldi today, waited for the right moment, seen an elderly, stinky old woman heading towards the checkout. Jumped right in, paid for her shopping, lucky it was only a small apple she had, cheap and made me feel good. Thought this was worth sharing, I'm expecting the TV and newspapers to be all over this. I'll keep you updated. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St.Ricky 7,813 Report post Posted February 17 Great Random Kindness Day. Bought a match ticket for a friend who was feeling particularly low. Arranged to help a Swiss Student with his Thesis. Took time to see three elderly friends for tea. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll keep you updated. Sorry, but I can better that.On the way into a shop today I saw a 1p coin lying on the ground. Normally I just wouldn't bother with it but, today, I deliberately left it for someone less fortunate than me.How's that? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornwall_Saint 4,024 Report post Posted February 18 18 hours ago, antrin said: Many Thanks, Cornwall. I could have used that in St Austell at Xmas! So many “lower class supermarket” venues and nary a Waitrose! Such fun. And there were people in there who were actually purchasing items. ….…………………………………………………... Come on antrin, do some research! The closest Waitrose to Charlestown is in Truro. You can make that in about 20-25 minutes. As soon as you’re out of St Austell it’s a straight road all the way to Truro (through Hewas Water) and the Waitrose is even on the side of Truro you’d enter in so you don’t have to try and make your way through to the other side. Your lack of research means you deserve to suffer entering a shop amongst peasants such as myself. Did you have to buy new tyres for your Volvo afterwards, or was Tristram there ready to pull away? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antrin 3,506 Report post Posted February 18 Aye. We did use that new Waitrose... used it when it first opened, too! (slightly over-complicated getting into and out of, heading south....) not a bloody Volvo.... it’s a BMW, think it’s X3. It’s Her’s... (I’ve no interest in cars, despite driving for a job. I use an ancient, sickly focus estate.) Topped up in St Austell at Tesco... and explored a Lidl next door, iirc? fascinating.... oh, aye, and the very good chippie next to them. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMW...every other driver’s worst nightmare 😂 Yes I know where you are. I’ve used that Lidl for breakfast a couple of times (the Lidl bakery sections are excellent) in between contract jobs that took me out that way. It’s not far from Par Market, and I regularly take my kids to Kidzworld/Cornucopia there. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not far from Par Market, and I regularly take my kids to Kidzworld/Cornucopia there. Never ventured near Par Market I don't think. But we walked along the cliffs/shore to Par Inn and had a couple of pints there,(great wee pub - a real local) before heading back over the hills and golf course. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You won’t have been far fae Par Market, literally less than 5 minutes drive from the Tesco and Lidl. Tbh I only go up that way for the kids arena, I’m not one for shopping. Haven’t been up to near Par Inn though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
