Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostM&S was the first supermarket to ban transfats in their products. Banned in the USA and Denmark, they are in almost everything at ASDA and Tesco, including bread.
trans-fats lead to coronary heart disease, infertility and according to some american studies cancer.

Waitrose for the dull stuff and the local deli/butchers/fish shop for the rest.
M&S smells of old ladies and is stacked high with microwave meals for one.
But that may just be my local one.Comment

M&S was the first to double-wrap vegetables in plastic (when others sold them loose).Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostM&S was the first supermarket to ban transfats...
M&S was the last to switch to dolphin-friendly tuna (they said it was just a fad).
M&S was just about the last to cotton on to not using BFK food colouring.
M&S was also just about the last to cotton on to not using tartrazine and its ilk in children's drinks. M&S has always been the worst offender from an additives perspective.
M&S was very pro-GM and publicly criticised organic food and good animal husbandry. I'm surprised Twiggy took their blood money.
I can't be arsed to carry on, but from a green perspective, M&S should have gone down the pan ten years ago.
The last clothes [white work shirts] I bought from there started coming to pieces in the first wash. Their product quality became appalling.
Retail has always been cut-throat, but M&S have always had the worst reputation by far amongst their suppliers.
No matter how hard they try to convince the market they have changed, some of us will never forget. I wouldn't cross the road to pee through M&S's letterbox.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

So what sort of place is LidlOriginally posted by zeitghostThen again, M&S don't appear to stock spanners & things for getting boyscouts out of horses' hooves... unlike my favourite Lidl...

There is one not too far from where I live, but based on the general area immediately around it, instinct has told me that I don't want to go in it. Am I wrong about that?Comment

Asda because it's closest. Tesco before we moved house the last time because that was closest. Sainsbury at the house before that because that was closest.
Don't care where I shop as long as I haven't got too far to go and the parking is easy
