Dear Fatuous...

What is the most unusual supermarket you ever visited?


Well, that accolade would have to go to The Incredible Unpredictable Supermarket. They state on a board outside: 'Other supermarkets guarantee so much. We guarantee only one thing. It's not in the tin it's supposed to be in!'

The goods are packaged with only one proviso: that nothing must ever find its way into the correct packaging under any circumstances. I once went in, bought a can of beans, a packet of biscuits and a bag of potatoes. When I got them home I found all three packets contained refined sugar. What an amazing coincidence! Shopping there can be fun.
