Which Supermarket would you pick to do your shopping in, assuming they all had an outlet within the same distance of your home. :?:

Try....
http://www.lidl.co.uk/gb/index.nsf/pages/c.s.s.index
http://www.aldi.com/

As you know an HG poll only has 6 options max., and Lidl & Aldi don't give loyalty card points or free carrier bags......so they are not really supermarkets......are they :?:

preferably none of them, but asda is my closest. i try and buy a lot of organic stuff from the farmers markets now after tip off from a friend, its half the price of organic stuff in the supermarkets.

plus wallmart are the biggest cunts in the world for screwing producers, i feel guilty everytime i go.

I choose whichever I happen to be near at the time.

Which could be any of them.

I made my choice based upon the discount I get from that particular chain.

NO! It's not a five-finger discount!

My wife was mugged and robbed of her purse today in Asda Cumbernauld, she was swiping her bank card to pay for her stuff at a checkout when some junky (who else would be so desperate to take such a chance?) dead legged her from behind and stole her purse from her handbag. This was right in the middle of the place. He was chased and got away but the purse was found minus about £30. Lucky for us but unlucky for the thief there was another £160 in the zipped pocket of it.

It shows that nowhere is safe from the 'chance' ratbag. Still it could have happened in the car park, which could have turned out worse.

Cappy, I''m disgusted to hear that and inside the store too, wee prick, may his next shite be a hedgehog. Please pass on my best wishes to the present Mrs. Brittles

Try Somerfield in the Gorbals for sheer entertainment value. They pipe classical music at the entrance doors to entertain the staff smokers gang. The tills are operated by pasty faced slack jawed weans who wouldn't recognise initiative if it bit their arse. The aisles are an obstacle course of detritus left behind by staff as they stack the shelves. The fruit and veg bit is an arctic zone. Generally its a jakey/junkie equivalent of the Stepford Wives but even further down the food chain.

That's a bad thing, captain. Hope Mrs Captain is ok. Will avoid town centre Asda in future.

Hope the Asda staff made it up to your wife. if they made her pay for her shopping after that, then shame on them.
