    "Madam never repeated that stunt again, ever . However madam did try other methods of getting her way or at least attempting to do so, including one trick that is as old as the hills and is even mentioned in the Bible. Didn't work either."

    She nailed herself to a cross and then came back from the dead a few days later? What sort of inbred redneck place do you come from?

    More to the point, can I come shopping with Greymafia too please - I promise to be a bad boy

The Mother smiled and put the toy in the trolly. An older lady passing by tut tutted and the Mother of said brat said (I kid you not) "Don't tut at him it will enforce his bad behaviour. He is only expressing himself the only way he knows how"

    Now. I can honestly say that the Son and Heir threw one hissy fit whilst in a supermarket. He was dispatched under my arm, leaving the full trolly behind. Put in the car and we went home. No discussion. No 'expressing himself'. Out and home. He did not get his fave dinner that night and it was explained to him that through his actions he had to accept the consequences.

    So, fellow ARRSE'rs, what would be your solution be to badly behaved brats in a supermarket? And what did you do when your little cherubs did so?
    EXCELLENT immediate action drills!

    I don't see your point with this.

    In the last few years, I have known an increasing tendency for parents to feed themselves and their fat progeny while shopping from items acquired but not yet paid for. I've never had the time time or the inclination to follow them to the tills, but I'd be very surprised if these items were ever owned-up to and paid for. So, theft then.

    By the way, for those with a fetish for grossly overweight women with lank, greasy hair, missing teeth, tattoos and tourette's, may I recommend Asda.

    The North Swindon branch is particularly good for this, leavened by yummy mummies from Shrivenham and wannabe yummy mummies like AMMM from Lyneham.

    I was wondering, having spent sometime wandering round US supermarkets I can't help noticing how much better behaved the kiddies are than in the UK, is it:
    A. Having a friend in Jesus
    B. Being constantly told by mommy and daddy how wonderful you are
    C. Being drugged out of their tiny minds on prescription psychostimulants
    D. Open carry
    E. All of the above
    That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

    Tut tut at me and you'll be likely recipient of a shoeing!
    Kids are cunt's, not only that they're specialists at making parents look like cunts, I don't like looking a cunt and I certainly don't like holier than thou's pointing out I'm a cunt and will resort to violence very quickly.

    F. Being so grotesquely obese that they cannot lift their carcasses to cause havoc, although I'd hate to see what happens when they get home & consume the pack of Twinkies dipped in Marshmallow Fluff!

    Excellent.

    Pity the person bowled over by such behemoths if they ever can get to ramming speed.
