Tittles – The Dots on Letters i and j

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

Some people, instead of using a simple dot above the Latin letters i and j, use full blown circles. The owner of this list was one of those people.

Did you know, this tiny, little superscript dot has a name? It is called a tittle.

The tittle on milk is nearly a heart. The tittles on high juice are just the start of circles. The tittles on Pinot Grigio are more fully formed. The tittle on veggie burgers is an ambitious galaxy of a swirl.

Written on a torn off rectangle from an insurance company letter, there is some small print on the reverse.

I am not sure what the horizontal line represents here. It is not likely to be different shops or days.

Custard Pots II

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

Found with its counterpart ‘custard pots’ at Morrisons in Bridport, U.K., this list is in the same hand, on the back of a betting slip but intertwined with a Waitrose receipt for items listed.

Some items are duplicated from the first list but also included are two tins of baked beans, Kellogg’s Fruit and Fibre and some ‘ready baked’ potatoes.

A small list on a post-it note. Written in pencil.

Ten items. I can’t decipher what looks to be Wash T cels and Teele.

Otherwise there is onion, tomatoes, garlic bread, foil, disinfectant, rolls, crisps and bread.

This list plays two roles in this person’s day. Firstly it starts as a regular sort of shopping list. 1 x Sweet Pot, pie mix, dates. This list then diverges into a ‘to do’ list. Returning items to Marks and Spencer followed by a list of clothes. I am not sure if these are to returned or to be purchased. The owner then intended to go to Next for some shorts.

The list then returns to its original purpose. Sugar free sweets, ribena etc. I am not sure what Toilet snelly is.

In a cyclical fashion, the list concludes with pie mix.

This is a town centre list with the mixture of clothes and groceries. None of the groceries are too large or heavy so can be carried in bags by one person.

This list was found on 22nd July 2021 in Bridport, Dorset.
