Inverse snobbery, yes, I agree. There seems to be a meme in the UK that

your pikey neighbours.

Tell us which *one* store you buy all your food at so we can have a good
laugh too.


I don't get this. I suppose if you live in a big city you have a choice of
supermarkets. We don't, we have a small co-op and a very upmarket food shop
that sells more varieties of chutney than bread close by. We the have a six
mile drive to Catterick garrison for a Tesco, Aldi, and Lidl So whilst there
bulk shopping at Tesco we often use the adjacent Aldi or Lidl. Certain foods
are better then Tesco at Aldi others at Lidl. The clientele at all three is
the same, mostly army families, plus a lot of Dales farmers. Whilst there I
always look at their special offers on tools and hardware. Their screws are
crap so I will never buy them again. Aldi £9.99 white men's shirts are
brilliant and I have some that I have worn regularly for work for over 5
years and they still wash and iron far better than the last M&S shirt I
bought.

Get over the snobbery and actually try shopping there.
