Mr. R was all ready with two shopping lists when I arrived. He’d clearly done this before 😁. One list for pharmacy items and one list of items from Tesco.

So off I went to find deep heat, denture grip; paracetamol; grapes; bananas; wholemeal bread; ham slices; chicken slices; flavoured yogurt; digestive biscuits; ginger nuts; 2 packs of uncle Ben’s rice and a tub of vanilla ice cream..... yes you guessed it! I spent the whole time that I was queuing trying to memorise the list. And all came to under the £20 limit (just) so a little bit of mental arithmetic was required as I wandered around Tesco.

Mr. R was a very grateful customer and a pleasure to help.
