is very good. I am not sure if it's better than the sticky date pudding one though.
I had a terrible time in a shop today. I wanted to buy a lightbulb for the lamp next to my bed. So I went into the big Woolworths in the city. The multilevel one. The basement level has most grocery items, fruit and veg, meat, bread, deli etc. Ground floor has snack foods, toiletries, stationery and batteries. First floor has manchester, hardware, toys, sound and video and kitchenware. Second floor has photos and other stuff. There are about six levels but I have never made it to the top one. I asked on the ground floor where the lightbulbs are. They say the first floor. I go to the first floor. By my logic, out of the available sections on the first floor, lightbulbs should be somewhere near the hardware stuff. They are not. I do a tour of the aisles around electrical things and toys and manchester (hey, you never know). Don't bother going into the DVD/CD area - it has security beeper things and is obviously not the sort of place for lightbulbs. I wonder if maybe the person on the ground floor made a mistake. Perhaps he's never been above the ground floor. I go to the second floor. It has... photo stuff... and some other things. I ask the girl at the cash register where lightbulbs are. She points down the escalator and says "in the lightbulb section on level one". I locate the down escalator and return to level one. Unable to find a staff member on level one. Eventually after carefully examining the hardware section again and looking for a hidden lightbulb section behind the manchester I go into the entertainment area where there are many staff members standing idle. Just as I am about to ask where the lightbulbs are, I spot them. In the corner. Between the country and western music and the top 10 DVDs (or something like that). WHY??
And you know what? I was so frazzled by that point that I bought bayonette cap instead of screw on. GAH!!!
