This is a fun story and makes me want to buy a pack of mints today. I know I could and would use them on a daily basis. Love the notes too. Great work with this one.

    Thanks, mate. I just got a letter from our lov=cal Council Rep about some stuff I whinged about, some holes that have re-appeared in our walking routes and so on. I am going to send her a link to this to read as well. Appreciate you coming through for a review. Sorry, no rewards.

Very funny. Do you take two before bedtime or two before you open your mouth to complain? I enjoyed this short piece of humor.

    Thanks, Elaine. Seems I struck a good chord with this. Faye that gave it to me back at work was a real character. Cheers.

this is a delightful way to enjoy the world and the story that goes behind this story. You are a joy in the way you tell it and I want to go buy a pack of mentos this very moment.

    Thanks new friend. Don't think we have met before. The lady who first gave me these was a bit of a character where I worked.

    Thanks Bro, appreciate you coming by. This was an oldie I edited a tad and thought it could come up for some air. Faye that gave me these was a real character.

I love a good whinge, Sankey, especially if I can get some Smarties, or M&Ms. ~We whinge in England, we're professionals! Like Australia, our big stores are getting a hammering from Aldi. The other supermarket you might get soon if you haven't already got it, is Lidl, these two stores are running away with the business here. Well done on your really funny post, it's nice to get these sometimes. The gloomy ones have kind of taken over. :) Sandra xx

    Thanks Sandra. Can't remember if we met yet. Will check out your stuff. This was an oldie I updated a little and thought it needed some 'airing' hehe. I know there is an English Supermarket Group coming not sure if it is the one you mentioned. Woolworths here are already in trouble. They and Coles have had the monopoly for years in Supermarketry, but no more! See you soon.

    Woolworths disappeared from England a few years ago, and it was a real shame. I had some wonderful memories of 'Woolies' as a child, a bag of broken biscuits for half a penny. Sawdust on the floor. Loads of things, now gone! I am surprised you still have them. I'm not sure if we've met, either. I'll be reading more of your work though. Nice to meet you! xxx

    Thanks Sandra. A Woolworths from South Africa has just bought one of out=r bigger clothing stores it is possible there are a few different Woolworths. Thanks keep your eyes out I have a couple of new works in Preview just now.

This is a very funny story you've written here. I guess many of us could make do these tablets on occasion.
Anyway, you don't look like much of a whinger in your picture.

Hi there,

A good and generally well written post. Nice to see a short piece of humour gracing the front page for a change! LOL

Good fun piece, now where can we get these?

All the best

    Hi there old friend. Thanks for coming by. Finally getting the whip to my Depression and getting back to writing. This is an oldie but seeing I been harrassing Aldi lately thought it was a good time to get it out. Cheers.

Very funny, Where can I get some of those? Nice to see a fellow Aussie on this site. That's what I would have said to you if I was Keith Urban, but since I'm not I'll just say hello from America.

You're co-worker had a very good idea. Everyone should have a supply of whinging tablets. We have the same things to whine about here in USA.
You gave me quite a chuckle with this one, Sankey.

    Thanks old friend. Appreciate you coming by. Taking the whip to some Depression here and trying to get back into writing. Loaded up with Member Dollars from mainly reviewing for a long time ha. Faye that gave me the Whinging tablets was a real case! Just coming up to 19 years since I left work on Disability.

    You're welcome, Sankey. It sounds like you're getting back on track. :) e

That's a great idea, we should find this in stores, the sales would be through the roof! Very funny piece, thank you for sharing!

    Hi there! No, I don't think we have. I am rather new here, just trying to get used to things and to learn as much as I can.
