from that quote dont think poundstratcher is one, but is waitrose. to be honest before i moved here i never heard of the place its basically like marks and spencer but posher as owned by john lewis group. its rubbish they charge you about 50p more for the same stuff you get in tesco.

i say tesco because were i live and surrounding area there are no Asda, Morrsions, Sainsburys, Somerfield, Aldi etc i guess its the Oxon life either go to planet Tesco or go with all the posh toffs to waitrose or that lovely little deli that charge you £8 for a block of cheese

If it was not for PRIMARK i would be buck naked and believe me it's not a pretty site.

Have to disagree with you there, Waitrose, in terms of quality and produce in miles away from Tesco

thats what i said same stuff just more expensive and you get a load of toffee nosed gits in there thinking just coz they shop there they are the bees knees

It depends how you interpret the grammar - I meant the ratio of luxury (Starbucks) compared with non-luxury (Poundstretcher types).

I don't think we'll ever see the likes of Waitrose in Hartlepool. However, we do have plenty of delicacies of our own - Morrells pies anyone? If a shop anywhere in the south east was knocking them out Rick Stein for one would be slurping the juice out of them on 'Food Heroes' or suchlike.

Urrrggghhh How common!, I much prefer 'le pie a la pork' with jus

And what about pease pudding? It's like a form of homous. Hugh Furry-Shittingstool will be making that on River Cottage soon no doubt.

went of morrells pork pies in the late seventies when i bit into one the juice went all down the front of me trench coat(high fashion then)no matter what i tried i could,nt get it out,

have to say that martin knowells pies beat morrells hands down for me even the pork pies, i love the liver and onion ones and at 70p a pop you cant argue

Marksys scran is lovely but a bit on the expensive side. Usually pop in pick up the 2 for 1's and special offers, cant afford to do my full weekly there.

Usually Tescos, though use Asda occasionally and Morrisons.
Generally I like shopping, not with the missus though, all the money goes on air freshners and cleaning products

Shoppings alright, our rass hates it though. I take ages on my own because I'm looking at the pigs snouts, the entrails, the live toads, the dried pigs faces, fish heads, the edible shark skin, duck feet, fish stomachs, etc etc etc, as you have to.

The shop girls are tasty as well...

got to disagree with elvisc, aldi is great for food shopping. loads of lovely cheese and german meat products !!

i love shopping, love it love it love it !!

Re-living those heady days in the Millhouse, eh?

Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot, they're lovely.

I cannot believe that the bunker, birthplace of irreverent and sardonic comment is reduced to discussions about personal preferences of supermarkets!

which part of them is a local delicacy

Ask Saigon Saddler!! We spent a couple of happy hours in Beijing Hualian!!
