Have an accident? No thanks, I’ve already had one!?

I very rarely use tomato ketchup, but this evening decided to squirt a little of it onto my supper plate.It was a Heinz plastic bottle, only a small one, and after tipping and squeezing nothing came out, so I squeezed a lot harder and .....ssssplosh!
The scene looked like murder at the vicarage, all down me, the floor, the counter, the kitchen bin and even on the opposite unit door.Grrrr.Pulled my clothes off ( wearing a white tee and pale blue jeans) and stuffed them into the washing machine, cleaned up using half a kitchen roll and put the ketchup back into the pantry, where it sat on the shelf and looked pleased with itself.Only less than half the contents now in it.Will never use again! Supper stone cold by then.

Jessity !! Did you ever venture into that store again??

I'm enjoying all these red wine stories.
I think Carrie should read this - it's not just Boris!

We've had several disasters both at home and when out.

I think Jessity's takes first prize grin

Thanks Callistemon. In answer to lemongrove, it was quite some time before I ventured in and as we no longer live in that area it doesn't apply now.

The staff were absolutely brilliant, I was fortunately not hurt by any broken glass but was quite shaken and their reassurance was helpful.

It was Sainsbury's in Ashford, Kent, and I should give them credit for the way they handled a disaster.
