Put /bag of cauliflower and calabrese spears/ on my shopping list and
the ever-helpful carer got a cauliflower and a bag of sprouting broccoli.

There's only one of me, and I don't need that amount of brassica
occupying/gently decaying in the fridge.

Again...

But a different carer, rather, an indifferent one.

Otherwise, it's Anusberries wot's got up my nose, though I got (mostly)
what I wanted.

I asked (on shopping list) for a box of spring rolls and a box of duck
pancake rolls. Got 2 boxen, one labelled Hoisin Duck Spring Rolls and
the other, as Vegetable Spring Rolls.

Don't the ignorami know that spring rolls are *always* and without
exception (My tautology) vegetable (and there weren't any beansprouts in
these...), and that being so, "Duck Spring Rolls" are an impossiility.

They are /Duck Pancake Rolls/ - Hoisin, if they like, but *NOT NEVER
NOHOW* Duck Spring Rolls.

Does it matter? Yes, it does. I put down accurately what I want, and
carer or similar gets the right thing. Wrongly labelled, Godnose what I
could get.
