Captain Kernow

However there do seem to have been 'supply difficulties' lately for cat litter with the local Tesco not having any of the size of pack we buy for a couple of months - but Waitrose did have it in stock.  I note more recently that the cheaper varieties of cat food seem to disappear off supermarket shelves far more rapidly than used to be the case.

Much more amusing is the case of a patent medicine I buy, Dioralyte.  we couldn't find this anywhere in the supermarkets we normally frequent including one in Tilehurst (on the western end of Reading).  So herself bought some via the organisation run by large ladies.  it duly arrived by post the next day - from a wholesale company in Reading.

No ..... just don't. I had the misfortune of burning some during the winter (well, waste not, want not) and it was truly awful. The strong smell of burning cat-pee did not go down too well with Mrs Philou!! :(

Philou, I never would have thought of that, if you hadn't mentioned it. Now I think I need a strong drink to get the mental image out of my mind!
