But as the whistle went she flew off around the isles grabbing everything and anything that she could, filling trolleys like they were going out of fashion... She filled about 6 shopping trolleys full of stuff like turkeys, biscuit tins, washing powder etc And the grand total was over £500 worth of shopping within the 1 minute!

Maaaan, that was a mince pie filled Christmas...
My mom won a similar contest for the grand opening of our local grocery store. She had 77 seconds (odd number -- still don't know the significance) and went straight for the meat. Wisconsin meat ain't nuthin to sniff at (think Green Bay Packers, as in MEAT packers) so she made out like a bandit. We had the most AMAZING (free) leg of lamb that Easter

I'd like to win a lifetime supply of sour patch kids. I'd be fat, but I'd be happy.
