British Walmart
After work I set out for my usual thing of walking some place, but its just a bit cold for me to enjoy that, the weather today has been fine but that means the sky is clear and it gets cold fast at night, however I pushed on regardless.
Eventually I found the Asda store, which is the british equivalent of walmart I think, I went inside and enjoyed the heating. The aisles are wide enough to drive a truck down and they actually have little golf car things to use to get around the store, but they didnt really have anything worth buying it was all crap quality looking to me.
Dinner tonight was...Nandos chicken garden salad! the excitement, this is my main meal in Sydney, in England its a bit different, it has lots of olives and feta cheese, so its not healthy like the australian version.
Whilst I was there, I was sat at the long padded bench seat thing, and the table next to me, one of the girls couldnt find her phone. Since my jacket was between us on the seat thing they thought it was in my jacket, so they felt uncomfortable asking me to check (accusing me of stealing it), and of course it wasnt there, so I suggest they ring the number. Turns out it was in her handbag despite them emptying the handbag out on the table. Must have been hiding in there somewhere.
After my salad and being accused of stealing, I went to the local mini supermarket thing to buy a pepsi, there were kids in there buying beer which seemed to be no problem, I dont think they could have been any older than 15, they put their beers in backpacks and rode off on their skateboards happy.
Spotted this on the way home from work, the green movement is very popular here, much like australia, only in australia a lawn is considered the enemy of green, in england they combine polluting cars with lawn to advertise how green they are...pretty smart.
Heres my nandos chicken salad, even the nandos sauces are different here, creamier and not anywhere near as hot, which was dissapointing, although the salad itself was nice.
