Fans of the high end supermarket Waitrose have been forced to shop elsewhere as the Pound is now roughly the same value as the Euro.
“It’s embarrasing” said Prunella La Franais, a usual Waitrose regular.
“Yes, Sainsbury’s still sell essentials like organic hand picked pitted black olives from the Puglia region, but the clientele leaves a lot to be desired. I actually saw a white lady in there with one white offspring and one mixed race. There was no father in sight.”
The transition hasn’t gone down too well with regular Sainsbury’s shoppers either.
Brandon Brooker said;
“They come swanning in here screaming orders down the phone to their nannies and looking down on us all. I mean, I’d only come in for some sun dried tomatoes and caramelised onion humous and this horrendous woman just jumped right in front of me in the queue. I was so angry that I almost didn’t smile at her when she made eye contact.”
If the pound doesn’t strengthen and normalise soon, then a civil war could break out between the middle and upper middle classes, which has already been dubbed ‘The Perrier wars’.
“It could be catastrophic” said social commentator, Luke Johnson.
“If normality isn’t restored soon then chaos could ensue. Social etiquette will go out of the window, neighbours would turn on neighbours and shared school runs could be cancelled which would be catastrophic to the environment as emissions from 4x4s would quadruple.”
