Tesco Trotsky
This geezer was not from hell, he was from a 1970's sitcom about right-on socialists.

Twice I encountered him, the first time was in the car park. Now I hated being a cashier so I was always the first to volunteer to do something else, anything, if the store was quiet and extra staff were needed elsewhere. This particular day, I had managed to wrangle a morning of collecting trolleys. There was a tiny bit of drizzle coming down. Trotsky came up to me and asked me why I was working outside without a coat (I had on my grey nylon blazer). I told him that it didn't bother me. "It's outrageous" he said, "You want to get on to your union about this". I was 17 and doing a saturday job for drinking money.

The next time I saw him, this was around the time of the Edwina Currie salmonella in eggs health scare. He came to my till with 6 loaves of bread and I don't know how many boxes of eggs but I reckon about 90 eggs in total. As he slammed them down he said "I don't care what that bloody cow says, I'll eat as many eggs as I want!"

White bread
Of course it was white bread, he was working class.
