A topic from Skills, Talents & Leisure: Shopping

I was in the supermarket yesterday (Waitrose, because I am posh), wandering about with the familiar but vaguely disquieting sense that I was forgetting something. I made a circuit of the butter, cheese and yoghurt fridge island THREE times before I remembered what it was I wanted. Oddly, I was being followed by a man who also looked rather puzzled, and appeared to be doing the same thing. Unless he fancied me. Don't laugh. There should be some sort of emotional support available to the poor lost souls who get disoriented around the dairy section. It's cold there, too.

I can't make a list, you see. It's not going to happen. I'm not organised enough. Even if I tried to make a list, I wouldn't know what to write on it.

At the same visit to Waitrose I also met my antithesis, in the form of a smartly dressed old lady. She had a list attached to the little shopping-trolley-clipboard. It was typed (with a typewriter, not computer printed) on fancy Basildon Bond writing paper. I was spellbound by this. I was going to follow this shopping deity around the store, just to see what she was buying, but she gave me the slip.

OK, so this was a rather surreal visit to the supermarket! But, I was wondering: where do my fellow OUTers stand on list making? Is the list an essential part of your shopping routine? Or are you a random wanderer? I must know! I must find out!
