Andy Carr is not funny. I know funny. Is that joke funny? Can you explain
where the funny is please? I need this non-funny type of funny explained to
me.

Lidl is very noticably - at least where I am - different from
Morrisons/Asda/... in terms of the look of the customers.

I wouldn't go to Asda for anything but occasionally force myself to go to
Morrison's. Mostly we shop (when we do) at Waitrose but we go to Lidl and
Aldi when they have hardware offers. From what I've seen of customers I'd
much rather go to L & A than Morrison's.

Blimey !!!!
No wonder you're trying to save money through Solar panels and stuff !

I can get 2 bags of shopping for £30 in Waitrose and at least 6 or 8
bags of the same items from Asda !

More money than sense.

It will depend on the area you live in. Chavs ain't going to travel far
just for a supermarket.

Personally I don't much care what type of person uses any supermarket - I
go there to buy the goods I want at the price I'm willing to pay - not to
meet people. And as such don't tend to hang around long enough to notice
the social classes.

Agreed. Brand X is Brand X, whether you buy it from Waitrose or Asda.

This is the sign of a nose slightly turned up.
What makes you think Asda does not stock the same brands as Waitrose only
cheaper?

ps you shop to buy food not to eye up what the customers have hanging out
there clothes.

The Waitrose vegetable display is a work of art. Everything looks
wonderful and invariably tastes of nothing. It seems to be what today's
"discerning" shopper wants.

George ("George" ) gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying:

Where brands are the same, the prices are similar, IME.

The poster you replied to seems to be judging others by his own criteria :-)

There are other reasons for choosing Waitrose above rivals, price isn't an
issue. The last thing we'd economise on is food.

Indeed, we used to do a weekly online shop from Tesco, and changed to
Waitrose (Occado). Can't say I have noticed any particular difference in
the bills.

Well true, but the point is that Waitrose and Asda usually stock
different brands - and we tend to find that Waitrose tends to come
closer to where we want to be on the price/quality curve.

I went into one of these some time ago and that was exactly my

Whether this is a hygiene issue or stock rotation or ?? I have no
idea, but the smell was stomach churning.

appalled at the smell too.

No he wouldn't unless his command of written English was poor - which I
doubt. There might be many Sainsbury owned stores close to where he lives
but only one Waitrose. Same as here, really.

Sainsbury's is an adjective. Ie Sainsbury's bread.

Well, if we're going to be pedantic (and it seems we are) then no,
"Sainsbury's" is indeed the correct usage here as it's the name of the
company, ie with the apostrophe.

Thus (gramatically) "Asda" = "Sainsbury's" = "Tesco" = "Waitrose"
