    Maybe not.

    MS and Waitrose are very small and not proper supermarkets.

    Morrisons is more expensive than ASDA/Tesco (maybe) but it's much better quality - particularly when compared with Tesco tulip.

      Depends where exactly you live.

      I use to live near a horrid Morrisons. So horrid it closed down as no-one shopped in it, and preferred to go to the Tesco Metro which was twice as expensive.

      There as before that I lived near a lovely Morrisons, a rancid Sainsburys and a Tescos that had been fined for food safety by the environmental health. (They had a rodent problem.)

      Now I just shop at Sainsburys even though the one I normally use someone got stabbed to death in it a few years go...... The stabbers weren't from the area they were just visiting on a thieving spree.

      He should be shopping online - Ocado home delivery is the best.

      And Tescos is the worst.

        In my experience Morrison's does have better quality fare than Tesco and Asda. Sainsbury would be my first choice but the nearest isn't very convenient except for occasional visits.

        I just found out that there is a Waitrose in the west end of Glasgow

        I'll be paying a visit this week.

            Asda is the best supermarket round here. We have it delivered of course - have never actually been in the place.

              Then how do you know you get it from ASDA?

                Only been in Asda once. Never seen so many poor chavs in one place except when I did a contract in Staines.

                  It's the carrier bags and the card statement - dead give away.
