    Most of the time 'proper shops' charge vastly over inflated prices, so it's not wonder they're dying out.

    What, like a decent Fruit and veg shop, where everything is twice as big, half the price, and lasts twice the length......

    I hate seeing all the tesco threads we only have the small ones here. Its to far to justify on the they might have x y z deal or glitch. That goes for the asda ones to.

    we only have sainsburys,waitrose (very good deals and most people don't think to look there. Love the end of the month discontinued bins),co-op,marks and sparks and a lidl.

    Lol, that's a bit selfish! We only have a small one, but while deals are to be had, i'm happy for others that can benefit from them to do so :p

    Nope, I am entirely not obsessed with Tesco. My nearest is 8 or 9 miles away and I'll only go if I happen to be going near to one anyway and I'm looking for something in particular.

    Now Asda, that's a different matter. I'll make a special trip to Asda, (11 or 12 miles away, I'd guess), but that's because they're the only place selling Cherry flavoured Pepsi Max. Cherry flavoured Pepsi Max I am obsessed with!

    :wave: But wouldn't it be nice to have at least 1 'proper' Mr T's here, without having to travel 20 odd miles to get to it? They can shut down the other 16, i'd be quite happy with that..... or perhaps maybe have i express as well, as some of the glitches/deals have been exclusive to them, so maybe 2! :D

  • When I was a child we had gas lighting, lino on the floor and a butler sink and no hot water and an outside loo, can only remember happy times.
    P.S. we had a dripping bowl and remember the old bread and dripping well.

    Lol, when word gets round the house prices will shoot through the roof. Do they need teachers in Norwich?:D
  • I may live in the last city on earth without a Tescos (apart from 1 Metro and 1 express) we do though have a few desolate wasteland sites owned by them :(:mad:
