To be accurate, it was a *replica* of Sainsbury's but when shown the
technology she wondered why people couldn't just walk out without
scanning items. I think she's a marvel at her age.

Yeah, it takes an absolute genius to make that comment.

This is all just BS. The queen hasn't shopped for 5 decades. And
all this staged shit is just blowing smoke up the asses of the
Royally Obsessed.

We should have pitched a rec.food.cooking reality TV show to the
networks 5-7 years ago. The season finale could have been a cook-in
at Julie's or Jill's clubhouse, where we have to find all our
ingredients locally while spotting farm stands and/or bags in trees
:-)

That really doesn't sound that unrealistic if you think about it
flip past any reality TV shows these days. But we've lost our best
kooks vs. stable people since then.

Thank you. This little event was staged for the sheeple. It gave Jill
something to drool over while she was eating her steamed vegetables.
