I WISH supermarkets would stop swapping their merchandise around. There's nothing more infuriating.

For years, I've used the same store, purely because I know where everything is, and to make the weekly shopping chore easier and faster.

However, when I went last week, it was all topsy turvy. The spuds weren't were they have been for 10 years. They'd been replaced by plants.

I couldn't find any mushrooms and eggs because they too had vanished.

I discovered at the checkout that I'd obviously forgotten other items as well because my bill was a fiver down on what I usually spend.

If this psychology is meant to make shoppers ramble round and around to find items, and pick up others on the way to boost expenditure, well they've got it wrong as far as I'm concerned.

I went again this week, still couldn't find the eggs, and my bill was down again.

But I'll not perish without what I failed to collect. They've perhaps done me a favour.
