Hoisery in Huddersfield

As those who've been reading this blog for a while may perhaps remember, over a year ago one of my areas of interest was Smelly Aisle in my local Sainsbury's at Moortown, Leeds. They refurbished the store completely to make everything difficult to find, and in the process I think one of the builders must have been buried underneath somewhere.

So as you wandered round you suddenly encountered a Putrid Reek of Death which was not terribly enjoyable as you tried to buy your week's groceries.

Eventually I suppose the maggots consumed the corpse and now the Smelly Aisle smell has faded.

So much for Leeds. In Sainsbury's in Huddersfield they have a Hoisery department.


"Oy, Mike, get that sign put up."

"What's it mean though, Ted?"

"Like how d'you mean? What's what mean? Cosmetics? Y'know, make-up and that."

"No, not cosmetics. Hoisery. What's hoisery?"

"No idea. Who cares? Probably some women's crap. Just get the hammer."
