ṭhīk hai, bābū

A Hindi expression meaning it's alright (ṭhīk hai) Sir (bābū).

Believed to be the origin of tickety boo in British colonial India at the start of the 20th Century.

Toilet paper should come with three mandatory measures.

The weight in grams per square metre like they do with all other paper that's for sale.

The total weight of paper on the roll.

The number of sheets.

I assume that if someone is so ideologically opposed to wearing a mask, they won't be bothered by me sneezing near them without a tissue or a handkerchief. Freedom!

There should be a referendum to remove one farm animal from the food chain every ten years. Make it illegal to farm, sell it eat.

Tough on the ones that will be consumed more but eventually they'll all be free to roam.

I'd vote cow in the first one

Because of the rigidity of the basket. You don't have to pack for transportation or stability in the boot. Just place stuff in the basket as it comes through the scanner. Admittedly for very few items there isn't much difference but the principle is that the stores ask that you pack at the shelf.

No one's ever stopped me taking the basket to the packing shelf in Lidl. You're right you can't take them out of the store but there's nothing to stop you putting your shopping back in the basket and pack at leisure where it's intended!
