Managed to find this snipet in the end!!

• Brighton, East Sussex
• Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset (closes as a Somerfield Store on April 9th 2009, reopens as Morrisons July 1st 2009)
• Camberwell, South London
• Cheadle, Staffordshire
• Chester-Le-Street, Durham
• Corringham, Essex
• Cowdenbeath, Fife
• Crawley, West Sussex
• Downham Market, Norfolk
• Dunoon, Scotland
• Exeter, Devon
• Frodsham, Cheshire
• Kingsbridge, Devon
• Larkfield, Kent
• Louth, Lincolnshire
• Maghull, Liverpool
• Mansfield, Nottinghamshire
• Margate, Canterbury
• Mitcham, South London
• Nailsworth, Gloucestershire
• Oswestry, Shropshire
• Porth, Mid Glamorgan
• Ramsbottom, Bury
• Royston, Hertfordshire

My local Somerfield isn't that bad.Yes they are expensive but have some decent deals every week unlike Co-op who only do average deals every 3 weeks?

I_luv_cats

Yes, Somerfield can have some good offers as per their weekly / bi weekly flyers.

I picked up some Clipper Decaff for £1.49 in my local closing down sale.
