As a food store, for sure.
Generally less useful for Glastonbury competitions though.
My mistake - I haven't read the whole of the thread, but should have known that the discussion hadn't veered away from G
+lasto ticket comps, and onto the purchasing of whatever it is people shop for in supermarkets.
As an aside, I once realised that I was the 'loony' in the supermarket. I was the person who 'everybody' was shuffling away from. That was quite some dawning / awakening.

Our Co-op is now a Morrison's. It's gone to sh*t round here.
Surely a Morrison's is better than the Co-op? Is that not a thing? I know that the Co-op around here sells stuff that's more expensive than the M & S around here.

It’s not normal behaviour is it?
It is around these parts.

Excellent!
In 2017 we were passing back through the Unfair Ground late on Friday night when one of the “carney” girls ushered us over to her fair game. The game was to throw a crushed can into a tiny slot which surprisingly I managed to get it in (in my state). She quickly rummaged through a draw then pulled me over the counter and softly whispered in my ear “here’s your prize, it’s a cast of Michael Eavis’s asshole”
Have you ever kissed it, in a moment of gratitude? If not, I think you should. Anybody who has been to and will go to Glastonbury should kiss it in homage. *
* - If you charged a quid to kiss the ring, and it caught on, you could be minted. Look at the people (eejits) queuing up at the Blarney Stone, as example of a similar successful business model.

Wow, what a story!
Of course, 'we' can't even begin to hypothesise with not knowing the scale of the 'piece' (ringpiece!) of artwork.

He dreamed of going, would watch it on tv every year and never got to (we were going to do it the year I didn’t get tickets but he passed away before we could go/get them in the resale) so I thought maybe doing a plant or something means in some way he’s always there.I have a friend who grows small oak tree saplings from acorns each year. He gives the saplings to people who have suffered a bereavement, so that they can plant each sapling where they want, in memory of their loved one. Might be an idea for you.
Remember - From acorns great oak trees will grow.-

They’re so cute! 😂 They’re in B&M £1 a can in Wales, probably cheaper everywhere else because we have the stupid alcohol tax 😂🙈
I knew that Scotland had an alcohol tax, but was totally unaware that Wales had too.
There must be loads of people with vans ferrying in cheaper alcohol across the border and into Wales, surely? Same goes for Scotland.
I don't live so very far from the Welsh border (Shropshire). If only I had the cojones, I could make a mint.

We have a large log cabin at the end of the garden, which has electrics and wifi etc. The cabin lights had been left on as well as the heating, so I needed to turn them off, as well as close the door so that a fox or some such didn't get in there.

No stickers, swiping your Coop card when you buy gives you an entry, so purchase your packs as separate transactions. Also it's only Coop Group shops (with the blue cards) who are participating.
Oh, just remembered - I would have upvoted, but have ran out of them. That's mighty fine information.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm 'put out' that I haven't won a couple of tickets for some efesters. I may have to resort to buying some of this cheese Now I know what to do, if that becomes a thing.

I've just walked down to the bottom of my garden (and back) in my slippers, and also in heavy rain. Taking one for the team.

I’ve got a fluffy pink Joe Bananas blanket that I got at one of my first festivals (97/98) and it’s come to many festivals since, though I’ve gone super lightweight now and bring a Eurostar blanket instead.
Lucky you - that's a piece of Glastonbury heritage, that is.

Our current household score is (usually) cute children 3 : bobble headed free turtles 0. Might need to try to redress that balance this year 🤔
I don't even know what they look like, but want one so bad it hurts. I've looked up bobble headed turtles and loads of images come up. I haven't scrutinised them. In fact, I clicked out of images, as I didn't want to see upstart pretenders to the throne.
@Bike_Like_A_Mum - Is there any chance of a photo of your bobble headed turtle?
And 'no' you dirty minded people, that's not a euphemism!"

Just got an email from the crowdfunder. I didn't win.

Ahhhhh amazing love this! Getting creative is the best therapy for ticket blues. I can’t share my creations as the hen do is a surprise, they only know the date and location. Cant risk any of our secrets getting out LOL
No worries - i thought that may be the case. Art / crafts can be therapy for a lot of ailments.

In Kidney Mead once I did walk past a group of lads sat outside a tent, offering people 20 quid to go in and sh*t in their mate's tent...
I'm glad that I have mates whose humour lies elsewhere.

I did have a few brothers 😂🍺I’m going to a hen do in a couple of weeks and was asked to make some banners and message boards. Having a few ciders and a crafty afternoon has been a welcome distraction from ticket hell!
Apart from the lack of a ticket, that sounds like a very pleasant afternoon.
I love doing art and crafty things.
Here's a piece that was recently rejected by an art gallery for submission (as all of my work is. lol);
Joke alert!
A young artist exhibits his work for the first time, and a well known art critic is in attendance. The critic says to the young artist, "would you like my opinion on your work"? Yes," says the artist. "It's worthless," says the critic. The artist replies, "I know, but tell me anyway."
It'd be ace to see what you came up with today, but will appreciate it if it has to be kept under wraps.-

For most of the conflicts in the world during much of my life I tend to think I'd like to ask for a ceasefire.
Everything else comes once folks aren't killing each other.
I appreciate I'm a simplistic old hippy, although to be honest that's always been quite consistent with going to this festival.
Unfortunately I have ran out of upvotes.
Otherwise I'd give you one.

I went into B & Q today, and some bloke in a black and orange apron asked me if I wanted decking. Fortunately, I'm pretty handy, and got the first punch in straight away, and that was that. Other people may not have been as fortunate, and actually got assaulted in a situation like that. Take care out there!He says, leaving a trail of destruction behind him, wherever he strides!It's an old joke, but it has made me happy today, at this moment in time.

All this piss chat has reminded my of walking out of the festival last year and seeing a big pile of piss filled plastic bottles that must have been retrieved by the clean up team to prevent it going in to the land. If you do go in a bottle make sure to empty it in the toilets the next day!
Only scum leave bottles like that around.

It's been wall to wall sunshine here yesterday and today. I'd say the sun's been practicing for Glastonbury.

Don't ask me why (because I don't consciously know) but I'd take Morrisons over the Co-op any day of the week.
