Just a scrap of a list, but still with some space at the bottom for any extra items. This space, of course, being particularly confusing when we notice "TEA BAGS" squeezed between "Crabsticks", "Salad" and "Paper/Magazine". Nothing else is written with the same sense of urgency as the tea bags scrawled into this space, nor are any others in capital letters. I can only assume that someone needed their daily tea-fix. And I'm convinced it says "Prayers" at the end of line 4. I'm pretty sure that the Catholic Church stopped selling indulgences in the 15th Century when Martin Luther kicked up his stink...so how this shopper hopes to buy "prayers" now is beyond me.UPDATE: Numerous people have emailed me (or posted on the forum) to point out that "prayers" actually says "razors". Pam even goes into such detail as to point out that the middle section of the list is for toiletries. They're all probably right, of course, but I'm not aware of the church ever having been criticised by a German monk for selling personal hygiene equipment...

The word between "toilet rolls" and "shower gel" is surely "razors". Wher was this list found, I get my razors at Tesco who have a cheap and satisfactory own brand.
were you serious about prayers, cuz i think its razors, it fits a little bettwer with toilet paper
It clearly says razors.
the word that you think says "prayer" on the most recent list (Frantic Tea Bags) actually says razors
Aaaaah...yes indeed it does say razors. Well spotted!
Unfortunately the church has never really had an issue with selling razors, though, so I'll need to have a rethink about the comment on that post...
