A shopping bonanza from Peter

How many of you remember  Peter , who introduced me to street art (among other things) in Trastevere? Trastevere mural

A while back, he sent me an email with shopping lists from his mother, and commented: 

“I mentioned your blog to my Mother and she saved the attached shopping lists which she thought you might like to see.“

As you can see below, it was a triple treat for me. And now, thanks to Peter’s mother, let’s see what is on her lists.

Here are all three together, then the individual lists that I cropped from the original image.

There’s a lot to look at, eh? (Or as Peter would say “No?’)

For those of you who don’t understand British or Australian English, did you know that chewey is chewing gum? And, it seems that M and S have different needs as far as this treat is concerned.

It took me a while to realise that it was sugar listed under T. bags. And does the 3 after the tea bags indicate 3 different types of tea are needed?

What else interests you about this first list?

Now I’m really lost. I hope Peter will explain about (Sav) and (Ice), and W, Tes and B/C. I did find out that Neutradol is a room freshener, and Vosene might be a hair conditioner. What type of bars are those listed above Fry’s bars? And, along with the 2 types of digestive biscuits, do we have a sweet tooth in the family? Who ever did this shopping does the ‘tick-off’ as each item is found and plonked in the shopping basket. Does the handwriting look different from that in the first and 3rd lists to you? Or maybe not, caps are used in both, and the letters look similar. Peter will no doubt enlighten us about that.

And now, some precision shopping, with quantities spelled out in some cases. I think the shopper knows exactly what they mean by “3 grapes”. Who can tell me what the item below sweet corn is? 

That was fun! It’s so good when people find a list (or 3) and share them with us.

Thank you, Peter’s mother from Lancashire (I think).
