There is a bizarre reference in William Black’s 'The Land that Thyme Forgot ’ to a variant called Bow Wow Sauce as being produced in the Cotswold village of Painswick for the occasion of a reconciliatory feast with the neighbouring village of Stroud after Stroud’s accusation that a Painswick shepherd had sacrificed a pie made of puppies to the shepherd god.

Bizarre indeed

I don’t think I’d like to live in a place called Painswick. Ominous.

The ones I’m familiar with do the same thing but don’t actually like it if you put your own bag on the platform.

They only want bags that weigh about the same as the supermarket’s “bags for life”. Put a rucksack on there and it throws a wobbly about “unexpected item in the bagging area”.

I expect this is for folk like me who bring their own bags but then have to get some store bags anyway because of poor planning.

I’ve only used their reusable bags, but “unexpected item in the bagging area” is the same phrase if you forget to use Own Bags. I guess they have a bag weight limit. :man_shrugging:

I also don’t see how a whole cart of groceries would fit on the bagging area, but I doubt I’ll be trying that experiment, ever.

Someone is going to take that, throw it into an AI meat grinder, and make sausage with odd fingers.
