My sister was looking to purchase a new caravan at the weekend. The cost was around £18000 she was trading in her older van. They guy who showed them around at the first sales room was so creepy. He made lude suggestions about her having to climb over her husband in the night and what might happen if she was lucky enough. He made rude jokes about the lack of space and them having to rub against one another as they passed. When he handed my BiL the brochure as they were leaving he said, mind the pages aren't stuck together with a creepy wink!! needless to say they did not spend their £18000 with him. A big loss for a creepy dirty little salesman.

Have just nosed at you profile and I can see what he meant even though he is creepy. You certainly are a young looking lady.

I love Krogers , Meijers,Safeway , Pigglewiggley is sweet but not so many of them about now , in fact didn"t the owner of them have a place called The Pink Mansion in Memphis , which went bankrupt.

Our gas is $12 + change . [give or take]

makes driving in the U.S. very appealing

I think the pound is doing well today - only know because Theseus is dealing with an international grant and got more pounds than he had expected. Me, I know nothing really...

Who do these men think they are? Ugh!

I'm very happy to get it. I've really noticed the price increase in food over the years. Gas is $3.36 a gallon,but you pay so much more! For a liter!!! would you be rich if you brought your pounds over here?

That is like the B & Q DIY store discount card for senior citizens on a Wednesday.

Enviousamerican Thu 18-Apr-13 21:44:56

The grocery store is called Kroger,a chain store that has many stores in many states.

Enviousamerican Thu 18-Apr-13 21:41:42

10 percent off of your purchases on the first wed. Of the month.

What's this senior discount you get? envy wink

Elegran Thu 18-Apr-13 21:28:41

He still sounds like a little man brainwise.

Enviousamerican Thu 18-Apr-13 21:26:55

Yeah,that's good! Except I'd leave out little cause he looked about 6 foot 2.

Marelli Thu 18-Apr-13 21:00:30

Enviousamerican, I think I would have looked him right in the eye and said, "Oh please....stop being such a silly little man." I wouldn't have laughed or smiled, just turned away and walked out. Head up! wink

Enviousamerican Thu 18-Apr-13 20:55:00

Maerlli,do tell,what would you of said to him?

Marelli Thu 18-Apr-13 20:43:43

I'm really quite good at the Big Put Down - not that I've needed to do it very often, and certainly not lately! hmm

Deedaa Thu 18-Apr-13 20:14:05

Why is it always the creepiest men who are convinced they are God's Gift?

Enviousamerican Thu 18-Apr-13 20:13:55

Nonu,I guess.Poor man,maybe if he says things like that to women 20 times a day.... No I cant imagine he was just so creepy.He better be careful someone might complain!

Nonu Thu 18-Apr-13 20:07:17

In English grocery shops , if one is over a certain age it takes them all their time to serve you . Always chatting to their mates .

Nonu Thu 18-Apr-13 20:05:43

Take it as a compliment .

Enviousamerican Thu 18-Apr-13 20:05:20

yeah! I think he felt he was a wonderful gift to women!

janeainsworth Thu 18-Apr-13 20:03:16

Can't imagine that happening in Waitrose or even Tesco Envious
You should have handbagged himgrin

shysal Thu 18-Apr-13 20:01:40

Yuk!

Enviousamerican Thu 18-Apr-13 19:59:17

I just got back from the grocery store and I went to the courtesy desk to ask about signing up for my senior discount. Well this creepy old Elvis impressionist looking man with gross dyed black hair preceded to overtly flirt with me saying silly stuff like oh " who is this for?" it couldn't be for you,your to young" he went on and on. I said i was born in 1953 and proud of my age,do you want to see my drivers license?? Anyway he finally coded my key fab and when he handed it back to me he made a point to overtly touch my hand! as I left he said "Tell you great grandmother hello!". angry
