Riding high on the perfect wave of my DL PB, Spotify just made me as proud as ever, telling me that in 2020 I am in the top 0,05% worlwide for PJ Harvey listenings.
Now tell me if this isn't the biggest YYFY ever.

Yes but were you listening to her during the 2.1xBW deadlift??

[Nibile]

 
Good call. To be honest I was listening to The Count of Montecristo on Audible...

I bet the bar was at least 50 inches long though.

I was in the top 1% for Tool.

Sainsbury's informed my wife and me that we were the number two buyers of diet bitter lemon at their Ashton-under-Lyne supermarket. Got to up those numbers.

1. Why? (Why did they tell you!)
2. WHO IS NUMBER 1???

An excellent question Tomtom! Perhaps to start some sort of purchasing war in the quest for the top spot. Margins must be really tight if they are trying to up sales of 60p low calorie carbonated beverages.

But I do seriously worry about number one. My wife and I do get through an unhealthy amount of bitter lemon.

[Bradders]

These are the sort of things that make it really hard to get worked up about the supposed issues with big data analytics

Under GDPR you cannot release this info. Next thing you know you will be stalking them and clearing the shelf just as they enter the supermarket.

Me and the GF were the 3rd highest buyer of chickpeas in the Colne store, we have upped them numbers this year but the restrictions on purchases earlier in lockdown may have knocked us down the table.

I don't know about you. But finding out our ranking on the league table gave me a genuine moment of existential crisis. Do we buy too much? What does this say about us? Are we part the bourgeoisie? But another sip of delicious diet bitter lemon and it sooned passed.

What does 3rd highest purchasers of chickpeas in Colne say about you?

[tomtom]

I might swing by Sainsburys in Colne and pick up a can. See if I become 4th

Do they give you a total purchase value, or an annual literage of bitter lemon?

We need some raw data not just league tables, for example peewee’s chick pea habit is bronze place in Colne but I bet he wouldn’t make it into the top 500 at Hebden Bridge Co-Op 😄

Just told my other half about this and she said that her mate was once informed he was the number one buyer of coleslaw at the Tadcaster Sainsbury’s.

Unfortunately not. Although the true scale (and cost) of the habit, might have tipped me over the edge.

I once calculated for my father in law how much he must have spent in Costa coffee to accrue his impressive loyalty card point tally (it was close to a grand in the year) and at first he was incredulous and then you could see it dawning on him slowly. It was quite painful to watch.

Finally someone that is top of their table! Although that must be a lot of coleslaw, its hardly a niche product.

I'll never understand how people can go to Costa every day. If you're going to spend £1,000 per year, at least spend it somewhere that serves decent coffee!

Or buy a decent grinder, an espresso machine and good coffee. It's quicker, tastes much better, and you'll still come out ahead within a year.

Haha, was just about to make exactly the same joke, when I quickly checked the page before.

Because it’s part of the ritual rather than the drug.. my parents were the same. Twice a week into town. Costa for a latte and a cake... bit of socialising before toddling off to M&S to see if any food had been reduced 😃

Proving the Apple never falls far from the tree - I started exhibiting similar behaviour when taking our lad to Tesco with me on a sat/Sunday morning. Partly to give MrsTT a lie in, partly because whilst he was strapped into a trolley I could relax and the third part of the ritual was him having a milk and doing some colouring in in the Costa afterwards - whilst I topped up my habit with a flat white.

I do seem to have formed a sweet and sour pickled cucumber habit this year - thankfully Tesco doesn’t reveal any league tables.

Edit: PS does anyone want any pickling jars? Seriously I’ve a box full in the cellar now...

I once musing on the way to Malham once and said out loud 'I wonder what each route has cost me in terms of fuel driving there and back? You could probably calculate it.' My friend Tom rapidly said 'don't calculate that!' Some things are better not knowing.

I did exactly that once; worked out that doing Tourniquet at Kentmere cost over £100 in fuel. Worth every penny.

That said, this sort of thing reminds me of the story of the smoker and the non-smoker; the latter says to the former that with the money they'd spent on cigs in their lifetime they could have bought a Ferrari by now, to which the smoker replies "well where is your Ferrari then?".
