Orders (which must be obeyed at all times)

We all emerged slowly and gingerly (some of us mousey-brownly) after last night's booze and bonfire extravaganza. Jof got home relatively early due to tired feet in those heroic shoes, but it was still after I went to bed.
Eventually we were all ready to go out and we hit Giant Tesco in Northarbour. Then orders were issued.
My orders: Find the largest single Lego item that you can carry that does not have a motor or other battery-powered component and put it in the trolley. You don't need to tell me twice when it comes to Lego so I got a Frontier Hicksville Lego Police station with many added extras, cost £60. It went into the trolley without even the slightest raised eyebrow or sharp intake of breath.
Her orders: Get us a new TV, flatscreen LED. She looked at the vast array, chose one, and went off to find a staff member to arrange purchase. The luckless youth said we don't actually have any in stock here, madam, you are welcome to pay now and it will be delivered to this store in 4 days or so, at which point you can come and collect it. Verily, quoth she, thou art welcome to stick it in your bottom, we're going to Comet.

So we went to Comet, which had big signs all over it saying 60% off, closing down sale, which was promising. Inside, however, they'd roped off most of the empty store and the few remaining staff members were zealously guarding 2 small tables of assorted cabling and things in packets, which was all they had left. So we went to Currys round the corner and got us a 42" HD TV (unlike me, for I am 47" ADHD, hoho). At home I got stuck into building the Lego Police station, he ran and Jof went back to bed. The Police Station is excellent with robbers, a mailbox, radar dish, and a man up a tree being chased by a bear with one of those special mushrooms.
