Why? (again, this would be better on uk.food+drink.misc IMO -
shall we go there?)

For the dropping of standards and convincing the public that
price is the only issue in purchasing food.


Well, you'd better report this to the ASA, then:

Some of their stuff, which I've tried, is downright good. I haven't tried every line they do, as I've only been there once. I nipped
in a while ago to buy a cheap drill, and wandered around buying
samples which I tried, and gave to family to try too. Universal
praise, esp. for the wine and biscuits. So it looks like an
indoor market? So what?

I can't stand markets.

So it's frequented by people you're
above? So what? Their money is as good as yours...

???

so it sells
carrier bags instead of giving them away. Problem? No.

Yes. I don't like buying carrier bags.

You put
a pound in (returnable) to use a trolley. Problem? No.

Intensely irritating.

Try
putting on some plastic clothes and a false moustache as a
disguise so no-one'll know who you are, an have a look sometime.

I did. Dreadful places.



I've got to put an order in on Saturday morning, so I might drop
in en passant for some booze and another little experimental spree.
Don't know what the "specials" are this week, though, as few of
the thumbnails on their site seem to match the full details at
the mo. Probably in the middle of an on-line update.
