Had to go to T..co’s again today, ooohhh I am a glutton for punishment and would you believe it those cake mixes which I blogged about yesterday are now £2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also beside them were a similar thing, Mary Berry’s cupcake mix for £1, so we picked one up thinking that I could be making these with our grandson when he comes over next week.
Well we picked up the bits we had forgotten and went to the self service till and put our items through but when we scanned the cupcake bag a bell rang and the til said ‘call for assistance, item needs checking’. So although these bloomin self service tills are meant to super duper quick, this one wasnt. Over came a supervisor, looked us up and down and then put a code into the till! I asked what was wrong and she said, because the icing in the cupcake mixture has been soaked in BRANDY, they have to check the age of the persons purchasing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hilarious.
Think we are both over 18, dont you?? :~))))))))

I wonder if there is actually any alcohol content in the packet. If so, maybe it should have been in the spirits section!!

Oh yes Frybo, I made the cake version of this yesterday and the fruits were really soaked with alchohol! Lol. I agree they should be in the booze isles.

Yes Obi. never happened to us before but I suppose there is always a first time. There will be hardly any booze in this icing, just thought it was EU rules. gone mad.

I wish TT Lol. its the grey hair that gives it away really! Pam. probably the same happens with anything remotely boozy, but this was just a bag of cake mix, who'd have thought?

21 Dec, 2011

 

Can you imagine the Police stopping drivers, asking how many cake-mixes they've eaten ? ;o) Lol.

I have on occasion been asked for ID at Italian check-outs when buying alcohol, but since it's almost always done without a glimmer of a smile, I'm beginning to wonder......Surely I don't look THAT young? Maybe just delinquent without the juvenile bit. LOL

21 Dec, 2011
