Totally correct in my opinion. Indeed the shop it, could argued, failed in their duty of car to you the customer.

Sorry to hear about that Pete, I wonder about health and safety in shops.

Glad you are ok, but the shop do have a duty of care to their customers and that includes ensuring goods are stacked safely so as not to harm their customers - they should be paying you lol!!!

I done that in sainsbury the other week, I wanted some vinager so had 3 bottles in my arms and was looking in the freezers at the ice cream on offer, there was a young man also looking and we got chatting about what was the best offer and as I slide the freezer top across 2 bottles fell on the floor. When the assistant came I said the young man had done it, we did have a laugh.

Was the "elf" & safety notified, I believe he may be otherwise engaged!

That should give the place a nice aroma!

Wish I could even get pickled onions in Colorado USA

 

[mw0njm.]

too much of that stuff and you will be pickled.

John,

Pickle your own like we used to do years ago. Shallots, or a very near equivalent, are available most places. The Greek white onions are almost identical and easy to grow. Not sure about malt vinegar as most vinegar here is a by-product of wine production, but quite a few people here produce the clear distilled vinegar. Then all you need is some pickling spice and a little patience!
