Nothing remotely Easter-y in either Sainsbury's (which I have just discovered is apparently the largest one in the UK) or Tesco in this area. Haven't looked in Asda and I won't go in Waitrose.

[DevilsDuck]

Im not sure what's worse. Easter eggs in the shops already or you guys talking about it..........yes I do......shut up

[Yudster]

Why? Are you a Waitrose fan or something?

[DevilsDuck]

Errr I only shop from Mr Marks and Mr Spencer

[Yudster]

I won't shop there for the same reasons I won't shop at Waitrose.

[bmstinton93]

I'd rather go to LIDL

[DevilsDuck]

Madness!

[foot-loose]

Only on CM.net can I go into a thread titled "happy christmas", on the 3rd of January, and find an argument about where the best place to buy easter eggs is.

Tesco wins anyway.

[DevilsDuck]

Oh I agree......Tesco for the win! It's the land of hope and opportunity

[Yudster]

I like Tesco, but its 9.8 miles away in the car whereas Sainsbury's is 2.1 miles.

These things are important.

[R94N]

I don't really like supermarkets or chain stores that much. They killed off a lot of business. I'm an old fogey in that respect.

[Yudster]

Hmm. I'm not sure really. I do deplore the loss of independant local shops, but realistically if they wanted to survive they had to offer what the public wanted - which wasn't merely convenience, it was choice and value. The village shop in the next village from us is flourishing, because it understands that it won't get customers unless it gives them a reason not to get in the car and drive the 4 miles to Sainsburys. Unlike most village stores it doesn't charge sky high prices and carries a wide variety of stuff. I guess it was a gamble to operate like that, but its paid off for them.

I do deplore the loss

Jeez yuddles, its like 2011 now, you gotta talk proper...... Who even knows what deplore means, innit?!!

[Yudster]

I do speak properly. And I'm not persuaded of the need to change that.

[bmstinton93]

Well i have to say i like supermarkets as i work for one.

[Yudster]

I like supermarkets because I have a car and can get to and from them with large amounts of stuff. If I didn't drive, or couldn't shop in that way but needed to just get small amounts locally because I couldn't manage more, I would be stuffed where I live though. Its like milk deliveries - I don't use them because its more expensive and the milk doesn't always arrive when I want it - but there are plenty of people who can't get to the supermarket, and the corner shop has closed down - where do they get their milk if the delivery service is stopped, as is looking increasingly likely?

[MK Chris]

My mum has gone back to using the local dairy and having the milk delivered - it's not the cheapest, but it is nice milk.

[dimtimjim]

Tesco do deliver.....

[DevilsDuck]

I knew it....*bing bong* DTJ to aisle 4, spillage near the KY Jelly, Security keep your eyes open for a scottish bloke covered in elephant jizz *bing bing*

[foot-loose]

The important word here is "near".

[DevilsDuck]

I just realised my error, KY is never in aisle 4

[Yudster]

Tesco do deliver.....

This is true, and an excellent service it is. However there are still people who don't own computers in the world. Hard to grasp, I know, but the things is, they are often the same people that can't get to Tesco.

[DevilsDuck]

Tesco do deliver.....

they also do lamb, chicken and fish

They do provide an excellent service as well. I agree there. It is better than Sainsbury's delivery and I have never tried ASDA's.

Such an obvious joke I deliberately didn't post it. You should be ashamed.
