Now you see......

......this is why I never normally take himself shopping with me! :roll: We walked up to Sainsbury's and the normal route was absolutely fine! A fair bit of compacted snow on some parts of the pavements, but because the walk takes us mostly alongside a road it was fine!

So we get there, have a bite and a cuppa in the cafe to thaw out a bit, get our few bits of essentials - extra milk for the freezer, some nice fresh bread, more fruit, some spuds, some lovely bacon which was half price - and then as there were huge queues at the main checkouts we used the self-scan. Eventually after M's *help* packing the bags - which bought the assistant running twice as the till started shrieking at us - we finished and got outside!

"Oh I know a good short cut" he says :roll: :? "Is that a good idea? In this weather wouldn't we be better sticking to the main roads where the pavement are ok?" "Oh it will be fine, it will cut a good ten minutes off the walk!" and off he strides so I trail after him..............

Well we went down a little footpath where the ice was solid, then another bit with foot deep snow................up a slope ( :shock: ) and over a very slippery road bridge over the dual carriageway ( :? ) then slippy slidey down it on the other side............down by the side of Walls ice cream factory ( :roll: :P ) then finally along a slippy footpath along the side of the dual carriageway...........eventually (a good twenty minutes later) we came out at the roundabout near our estate! I was not happy - he could see that - when I eventually caught up with him. You would have thought the icy snowballs I'd been chucking at his back for the last half mile might have told him that!! :roll:

Short cut my @rse, as Jim Royle would say! :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why do men always know best - even when they don't!!!!!

The usual route takes me 15 minutes BTW :| :roll: :lol:

Oooooh John knows some shortcuts like that! :| :roll: :lol:

Usually it's when we're out on the Chase with Billy and his shortcut will be a bike trail through the woods which involves walking through a lot of muddy puddles and down lots of muddy slopes...

Hmmm, I am wondering if M does driving short cuts as well!

"I know a quicker way" is a dead giveaway. ;) :)
