Sounds like top preparation mate.
FFS change your state of mind, or it will be glaringly obvious in the interview. WTF has the weather got to do with anything? Focus, and cheer up.

I try to ask a few interesting questions at interviews.
When interviewed for my current job, to get a feel for the attitudes of the company, I asked how they would react if I turned up for work one day with blue hair. The HR woman was a bit dumbstruck for a minute then replied that a few people had brightly coloured hair and it wouldn't be a problem.
I've since been told that it made me a memorable candidate. Apparently my new team leader was surprised on my first day when I didn't show up with blue hair.
I usually really enjoy interviews. As I'm forced to focus on what I can do and things I have achieved, I find they make me feel really positive.

Is it an interview for a job as a toilet cleaner, or perhaps ****-wiper for elderly men in a retirement home? I hope not - they would place too many intellectual challenges for someone like you.

chaos, if you're not going to take it seriously enough to bother to wear a shirt and tie, don't bother going at all.
It may well only be Morrisons, but it's a job, an income and a place to start. Plus it'll be a chance to learn new skills, and will give you experience to put on your cv for next time.
Or maybe you think working for Morrisons is beneath you? In which case, don't go to the interview. If that's the way you feel, they'll see through you fairly early on.

Tip number 2
Start planning your application for Tescos, after Morrisons have shown you the door!!!
you scruffy waster....
--- there are far more deserving people than you on this planet, and i hope one of them gets the job.

i really do hope you get the job.
you and your mate might be able to spearhead the bakery section, or some other niche foothold.
what are you going to do with all the cash you will make???
lend us a couple of quid, i'm on the last of my tesco value baked beans!!!

chaos, one more thing before i leave you to fail.
while you are attacking tinned fruit with a pricegun, there are plenty of people here, managing their own companies, running departments, bringing up kids, and living in the real world.
you would do well to heed some of their generous advice.
thats all i need to say.
now sort yourself out.
PS, i like your autosignature, how did you get the @ symbol.

chaos. do you actually want this job?
If I've read correctly, you've got stoned before the interview, want to wear as casual clothes as possible? which indicates you don't really care? (if true then why bother?)
Anyway, if you DO want this (or any other) job then as a minimum, wear normal trousers(ironed/pressed), shoes(not trainers), collared shirt (tucked in). Tie would be a bonus. For better jobs then a tie is essential and preferably a suit but that would be overkill for morrisons (but better than coming in too casual!).

lol at chaos,
you're right mate, i'm on the dole, and drive a '83 skoda.
I'm not ashamed. I've worked hard before, and i'll work hard again.
I'm also not embarrassed about putting down my location on a BBS and proud to hail from essex, actually.
I would welcome the chance of any interview right now, which is why you shouldn't waste your opportunity...
