Well, I couldn't let another wednesday go by without providing guidance for conscientious pet owners out there, who really need to know where not to bring their duck billed platypii, this is especially for Domestic Oubliette, who posed the question...
A poem which attempts to dissuade you from bringing your duck billed platypus to Spar
Don't bring your duck billed platypus to Spar
That trip, I'm afraid wouldn't get you too far,
With his unrealistic body, he's a freak not a star,
No, I wouldn't even attempt it
This flat footed friend has no need for a sambo
So there's no excuse for him to go in playing Rambo
Demanding nice biscuits, overpriced cans, No!
All your spare change, he'd have spent it
Sure remember the time that you took platypus
Over the one time to see 'toys R us'
and he said it was too bright, made such a fuss
Oh you wouldn't mind, only he meant it
So tell the platypus to shut his bill
It's not really that you'd wish him ill
But he might as well go waddle up the hill
No Spar for your duck billed platypus today

I'm lucky there; my duck-billed prefers EcoMarket. Though he was put off by the stuffed duckling keychains by the register last time, and now won't leave the house.
Genius :)
Can't say I blame him NanU
Thanks Oub, hope that answers your question
I always wanted a duck billed platypus for a pet when I was really small. Thank fully now that I'm fully growed I can have one and there aren't any Spar's near where live :)

A convenience store offering goods cheap and common
Like cola, and bread, and cases of Ramen
Oddities really have no place at Spar
An egg-laying mammal is just too bizarre.
Well said Acorn. I know I can always rely on you for a bit of moral support. :-)
Curtain rings or Breville snack and sandwich toastmakers.
As always, insightful and invaluable commentary TFE
