I agree but you took a lot of time explaining something that everybody already knows.

Don't know who chefs there now but the Michelin started chef in The Greys could often be seen unloading dozens of Lidl bags from his car into the kitchen and that pub food was regarded as some if the best in town.

Have you seen the high end automobiles in the car park ? Clearly not.

When I lived on the dials I used to sometimes get milk and hangover treats but looking at the prices in there I reckon if you could find enough product in there to make up a week shop it would cost about 80 quid.

Ah yes, I know that one too. No, seriously, the kemptown one is absolutely tiny. They actually have to shop the shut in the middle of the day sometimes to restock, but when they bring the stock trolley out you can't get any customers in so it has to shut!

Fair do's my only experience of Co-op are seven dials and that hideous, pokey little hole up in Kemptown. That shop is soooo small it's laughable!

Ah a duck egg is a wonderful thing. I certainly don't recommend caterpillar either :- O. I am moving to my field in Cornwall next March and a farmer friend already has a breeding pair of ducks earmarked for me. To be fair, I used to buy all my fruit and veg at supermarkets or markets but will...

Hmm, have you tried washing the produce before you eat it? Personally a bit of dirt doesn't vex me. I'd rather eat a bit of grit or muck than the micro wax coating they put on 80% of fruit brought in supermarkets. I eat the berries off my fruit bushes straight off the bush, could be covered in...

Indeed. Kingston market is my nearest. Can get more than double the amount for less than half the cost. 5 avocados for a quid? 2 punnets of strawberries for same? No supermarket can match that.

The Co-op must be one of the most expensive shops around?

Nothing wrong with shopping in either Aldi or Lidl. I tend to buy my staples in one of the big 4 but my treats, bbq stuff, cleaning products, washing powder and cold meats all come from one of the cheap stores. I used Lidl in Germany and Croatia and they are slightly better than here. In...

I use Waitrose or Tesco normally but whenever I'm running low on Spazzlshnooks, Weinersplunts or car footwell mats it's off to Lidl we go.
