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

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

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

    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.

    We've got both of those on our local high street

    My supermarket price index is based solely on ale, Asda is a bit down market but they are consistently cheapest, Tesco and Sainsburys seem to take it in turns yet Morrisons is always the most expensive.

    Waitrose varies wildly and having a wine expert on hand isn't really necessary when I'm spending £6 tops. Checkout girls are straight from Cheltenham ladies college (in my mind at least).

    It probably is, compared to Lidl.


    OK, at this point I have to confess that in my entire life I have never set foot in either a Morrisons or a Lidl, and I am not likely to now either, but my understanding from reading the papers is that Morrisons is a sort of northern version of Safeway and Lidl is the sort of store that stocks the absolute cheapest version of everything.

    Whew.
    It’s not the case that AtW has premature ejaculation but conversely he has extreme belated ejaculation from his previous wank
