    Asda smells. Morrisons rocks!
    Asda, like everywhere else will have exclusive deals on, which are hard to beat. I'd make a separate trip, especially for something like bulk cat food. But Morrisons comes up trumps with good quality priced food. Me and my husband argued for weeks when we first moved in about where we prefered to shop. After 2 weeks in morrisons he so how much we saved and its been our weekly!

    I do love asda home and george tho..

    We 'defected' from Asda to Morrisons, mainly because of the hell-hole that is Asda's car park. Our local Morrisons is our side of town on an estate (it used to be Safeway), has a huge car park and we thought we'd try there.

    What a great shopping experience! Good quality food, British meat, many bogofs and other offers and not only that, a board advertising vacancies, three of which my recently redundant son applied for and one of which he got :). It is cheaper and pleasanter than outr local Asda and now I get a a staff member's discount too. :)

    Rock On Morrisons!

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    As the guy from the Royale family would say, my !!!!.

    No, actually what the 'guy from the Royale family would say' is 'Shop at Farmfoods' for their "incredible prices" and "quality, convenience and amazing value". (Says he quoting from the flyer that came through the door yesterday.)

    morrisons are pits. Over faced products with wrong shelf edge label.Poor quality cheap products. Recent survey on home shopping put tesco in number one place. Tesco producte are superior in every way and cheaper. Don't be fooled by morrisons.
    dO YOU WORK FOR tESCO BY ANY chance? lol
    I have shopped in all of them and think Morrissons are the best by far, if they done home delivieries I would never shop anywhere else again.

    I doubt it. They are a Northern company and I don't think they have telephones up there let alone the internet!!
    You need to go beyond the M25 - there is the real Britain outside the M25. Perhaps when you come out of London your thoughts will clear up in a cleaner, pollution-free environment.

    I am born and bred Londoner and it's when I moved out of London into the centre of Britain that I realised what I was missing.

    During the miners' strike of 1980s when people struggled to eat, Morrisons reduced its prices to make sure people could feed their families. London turned a blind eye to the chaos up north remaining self - centred. With its lower petrol prices it makes sure people are still able to get around.

    No I am deadly serious. They haven't even embraced RP and still speak with accents! No wonder foreign Johnny is scared of our country!!

    Oh dear!
    So, I'm obviously imagining the accents I hear in Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Essex, Kent & London for example?

    You're either a WUM or sadly, just ignorant. Either way, further discussion would be fruitless, and of course, way off topic for this thread.

    Morrisons has the best fresh fish and fresh meat counters than any other supermarket store. Having found this out, I now wouldn’t go anywhere else for these products. I also can’t imagine how these items can be bought on line, preferring as I do to look at the product before purchasing.

    Morrisons, have only just extened their opening hours in my area. I hate shopping there. Ice cream melts before you can get though check outs, as they dont have them all open. Staff can be downright rude. Fruit goes moldy very quickly. Lastly oh joy join the queue to get out through the traffic lights. Tesco want to build another supermarket nearby in competion, needless to say Morrisons have objected. Bring it on I say.
