Quote: Inflatable_Armadillo "Unfortunately, the days of this week teen sensation popstar being seen in a Supermarket (unless doing their Christmas TV advert in a 'fake' one) are also long gone... you do know you can order food over the internet these days don't you? Even some of the low-rent places are doing it, not just Waitrose!
That said, just over a year or so ago now the Irish one out of Simon Cowell's current pension investment plan was in my local Working Mens... FACT!'"
Back in the day the only employment for this weeks popular music "star" was in opening supermarkets, stand outside with a crowd of old women in hairnets clutching shopping bags (yes, they used to bring their own bags to shop with, amazing), give a little speech and cut a ribbon to loud huzzahs and a panic driven rush to be first to the stack of boxes of PG Tips in the doorway aisle.
In fact, the Youtube clip of Fred Dibnah opening a supermarket in Bolton is a TV classic, clearly embarassed about his "stardom" he cuts the ribbon with the classic line, "Righto, I declare this here shop open, and all that then you know..."
