Gambling with the shopping

It's often the case that you'll find the odd disgarded shopping list when you pick up a basket from the front of the supermarket, but this one raises more questions than it answers. I can see the owner of this list sitting on a stool in a William Hill betting shop, after watching their horse fall at the first fence at the Epsom 3.30, hurriedly compling this extensive menagerie of culinary delights, lest they forget the wife's favourite tipple or that brand of chocolate she loves.
