Happy war

Christmas is over.

The C'riz household now has a large surplus of vegetables.

We went to tesco yesterday to find a wall of clearance stuff blocking the entrance. About 5 cubic meters (approx guess) each of potatoes, carrots & swedes. All sell by that day, so a trolley full for less than a pound.

Then today we went to asda who had 20 or so boxes of sprouts at 1p per bag. Again, become toxic at midnight. Both stores also had a giant heap of iceberg lettuce, so I guess no one likes lettuce for Christmas.

It's such a waste though. People starving around the world, and Barno shops have massively over ordered on stuff just so they don't sell out, but will end up throwing it all away. I know supermarkets pay very little for products, but surely they can't make a profit this way?

In other news I've started reading a new author - John Barnes. So far I'm liking what I see, it's all pretty twisted far out stuff. The last one was an alternate futures, what would happen if WW2 had been won by the Germans?

Makes you think.... What if Yoko had taken the bullets n John Lennon had lived?
