to be looking forward to a new supermarket opening

[ApocalypticBlackHorseman]

We have a new supermarket opening this weekend, AIBU to look have been looking forward to it for about two weeks now?

Hahahaha. I may give it a swerve for a bit. Unless they doing half price fuel or something. I do get irrationally cross at the other two petrol establishments in town though. The forecourts are too small and the chocolate prices are .

Just don't use the pumps nearest the shop, they have short hoses. The shop is much better than Tesco Express.

Are there many spaces for shoppers that aren't getting petrol? I feel the need to have a poke round now.

I am off to that stupid Asda at some point today, I will return with the rage no doubt.

Oh, Whole Foods is a joke. I only heard of them after moving to London; it amazes me what native Londoners will pay for stale bread in that shop.

Give me Asda any day. I grew up in a town with no supermarkets and I still love the feeling if going into the massive ones. So many possibilities ...

We celebrated when a Sainsburys opened in our town because it now means I don't have to fight the bloody outlet village traffic to get to Tesco every Saturday. I'd even taken to doing my shopping at 6am because otherwise a 5 minute journey from home could take 40 minutes - and the same back. It's meant some competition and price wars too, which is good for the consumer.

Where I am moving to currently has an Internet protest going on about. Tesco building an Express in a disused pub/shop area. I'm not sure I understand why it is a bad thing - the site is a disused eyesore (from what I can see) and Tesco will bring cheaper prices and convenience to an outlying area. I'm not sure I get the angst (but obvs I don't know the area well enough to understand).

LtEve does the town begin with a letter P?

New town or current town?

Current town is a B, new town is an S

Ok, not the same campaign then. I live in (another) place where there is a campaign against an eyesore derelict building being replaced with a Tesco Express. The convenience store opposite is leading the campaign, they would be more convincing if they hadn't got a 1* rating in the local food hygiene scoring.

Yeah, it throws me a bit. My mum and dad have just had a Tesco Express open at the bottom of their road, on the site of a disused petrol station that had been closed for about 4 years and was becoming a target for vandals. For them its been a godsend, so I don't understand why people campaign against them.

Yes, plenty of spaces Sparkling :)

DH went on the way back from DS1's footy this morning ABH. DS1 was raving about it. I believe it has an ATM-that could be v useful.

MIL has been telling me how excited she is about the new Waitrose they're opening in Hereford since the first time I met her...5yrs ago! I swear she only comes to visit us to go shopping (Berks = Waitrose heartland)

Ah, we were in there when a chap came in with his son who had been playing football. Interesting because it was somebody who I already know, though only as a vague acquaintance!
