A v middle class question...

[QuintusEstInHorto]

Has your Waitrose stopped selling Country Life?? Mine has since Christmas and I'm missing my weekly treat!

How you can shop in Waitrose I don’t know... the quality of their fruit and veg is absolute crap.

Sainsburys have country life discounted at the moment. Come to the dark side.

My Waitrose has excellent fruit and veg. It also stocks Coutry Life and the Twattler.

Definitely had it around New Year, despite the fact that we are in the middle of an enormous conurbation and nowhere near any Countryside of any description! I think it's for people getting withdrawal symptoms... SIL gets it without fail each month

Have you asked a member of staff why they haven't got it? My Waitrose also has excellent fruit and veg.

Her staff don't work at Waitrose, how on earth would they know? Badoom-tish...

I've asked them and they don't know why. V rural here, maybe no one needs to get their country fix in print?

I do also shop at a well known discount retailer and another major supermarket chain I should say. Although I've been put off the latter after being punched in the face over some root vegetables on Christmas Eve.... accidentally, they said....

Anyone else think ''choose another butter''??

No, it was definitely in my local Waitrose this week. I didn’t buy it because the property section is thin this time of year.

I don't see why it's a middle class question

Butter is divided into Président spreadable, and everything else.

Country Life butter is your weekly treat?!! Steady on OP!

ha! I had forgotten Country Life is also butter

I didn't realise it was anything other than butter

YABU anyway. The best, and far cheaper butter is Aldi West Country salted butter.

Her staff don't work at Waitrose, how on earth would they know? Badoom-tish...

I agree that nothing matches President when it comes to butter. Is it butter we are talking about then?

Waitrose don't sell Caerphilly any more

I don't know, but my guilty Waitrose pleasure used to be (I don't work near one any more) a copy of The Lady I'm only in my 40s. I miss it.

Ha! To clarify, magazine, not butter....

never mind Country Life - Country Living is much prettier!

(...the recipes are always a laugh -eg. a little, quick 'inseason' 'light - bite' maybe something like - 'Peasant stew, with woodsmoked grouse and champagne caviar'. Step one. build your smokery )

Just go to a newsagents

I live rurally. There aren't any newsagents! I get to a supermarket once a week.

Country Living is ok, but not a spot on the property porn pages of Country Life!!

Maybe call at a newsagents on your weekly trip to Waitrose?

Doesn't your butler talk to your accountant? A word from you and they can get a subscription organised surely? It's what the dratted serfs are there for after all! Bonus: it would arrive by your bedside with your morning cup of oolong, freshly pressed and lavender-scented. Why leave the boudoir just for a poxy old magazine?
