Snowball's one-woman Swindon Supermarket Subversion!

They didn't really have a go at you for that?

I'd be really impressed if someone suggested that...then, I wouldn't be buying pancake mix

Really, they're missing a trick if they don't provide suggestions for making your own as well as buying the packet stuff, but I suppose they make more profit on a neatly sealed plastic bag with a three year shelf life than on a bag of flour and a lemon

I also get into trouble for offering to sell the punters the recipe for ice cubes.

Well done Snowball - Keep it up! You never know by combining different ingredients into different recipes they may even spend more in the shop, but that's coroporate blinkers for you! I annoy my bosses by calling our customers 'consumers' as they don't really have a choice where they get their water from. Saying 'Morning comrade' every morning seems to wind them up as well.

Mum's secret pancake recipe: I can't believe it, I've known my mum for 39 years but yesterday was the first time she made me pakora pancakes, aparently something she learnt off her mum: Gram flour water salt finely chopped coriander finely chopped chillis make a batter similar in consistency to pancake batter, and cook in the same way, delish with some yoghurt and a bit of salad on the side.

I can't answer for Snowball, but if you were to bitch about every bit of dodgy merchandise going through a check out, you would not last 5 seconds
