Texting!!!

I don't shop in Sainsburys.

I shop in Asda or Tesco because they are the nearest supermarkets! I have cooked for the last Lord Sainsbury though!

A pleasant, polite man.

So, is Asda a "less" or a "fewer"?

Asda is a Fewer - as in "the fewer times I go to Asda the better"

Tesco is the Less - as in "I wish there were less Tescos about"

I am with Handy - Waitrose for me!! It was one of the clinchers when I bought my house - only two Waitroses in the whole of Devon & Cornwall, one of which is 1/2 mile away

PS - Waitrose has the "Only Baskets" option for the speedy checkout.

(well, that is what I say to them

I go to Tesco because I can park there for 3 hours without needing a £1 coin, great for the bank or town shopping! I go to Asda because it is handy for town shopping and the library! I never go to Waitrose because it's over 24 miles away! Morrisons is handy because it is next to the hospital and the B & Q warehouse. Sainsburys is out of the way but I suffer from mild claustrophobia if I go in there, something to do with the aisles being too close together. I like Lidl and Aldi because they sell foreign chocolate with a higher cocoa content and weird stuff sometimes and their bags for life are roomier. I'm not at the stage where I have to go to only one supermarket every week! Variety is the spice of life as they say.

think this thread is definatelyy off-topic!

I buy my food from Waitrose rather then somewhere like Tescos as I don't need to try and find the 'Finest' range or whatever - Waitrose basic fresh food is equal to the best Tescos can rip their suppliers off for.

They have not been too good for the non-food stuff (washing powder, loo roll, etc) price wise, but recently have been putting good offers together.

Lidl is just plain weird

And my local-local (walking distance) shop is Spar - there are hundreds round here and are great for deals on alcohol

Hoovie,

This is off topic but I couldn't give a stuff!! Anything that takes my mind off things is good!

The Co-op is everywhere here and is very pricey. There have always been lots of Spa shops in far flung places in my experience. They sell strange things!

Somerfield is another one, a bit like stepping back in time in some ways.

We should do a poll to see who likes and who dislikes texting.

You beat me to it!

I do use text, as Mrs M is very deaf, so doesn't hear on the phone. Otherwise 'fewfriends' Mooncat gets very little use out of his mobile phone.

I text quite a lot as it is convenient, but I hate the text speak b*llox.

Now I have the new phone I don't text as much as it is difficult to use
