Absolutely agree with you. It's a practise that seems to exist almost entirely amongst those whom education passed by. Interesting that Waitrose customers have never felt the need to create a pet name - or indeed to add the ludicrous 's' that the intellectually challenged add to names like Aldi, Lidl and Tesco.

Heck, that's a bit rude.

I blame the companies for having the pretentious gall to call themselves by a singular name when they are clearly a group of relatively like-minded individuals.

Ultimately, though, the confusion originates with these people, I think...



Or could it be these...



Whoever said apostrophes were easy clearly hasn't been shopping recently.

I picked up some tomato puree in my Lidl on Friday.
It was in an orange tube, rather than the blue branding that the tinned tomatoes are in.

Careful Badger, you might be tempted to switch from Sainsbury's at this rate...

I have posted little but contempt for Sainsbury's on this forum. You seem to have got your wires a little crossed.

New flavours/new packaging for the 4x Active Yogurts...

The Raspberry layered flavour is fantastic. The yogurt is rich, smooth & creamy, and the raspberry layer is fruity and not too sweet. In different packaging, this could easily pass for a premium product at twice the price.

My only (minor) criticism is that a bit more raspberry would be nice... even though it might detract from the sumptuousness of the yogurt.

Not sure that any of your posts lack contempt for something or someone in some shape or form. Can't you just think pleasant thoughts, love and kindness, that kind of thing? :lovethoug

Along with the supermarkets which rip people off, I tend to reserve my contempt for people who try to score cheap points by telling porkies
.
I don't recall expressing contempt in my product recommendation (one, just two days ago, ISTR), but I'm sure someone overflowing with the milk of human kindness (semi-skimmed, curdled, sell-by last Wednesday) might be able to find some.

Just a light hearted leg pull Badger, lighten up!

Does anyone else like the Frangipane tarts (pack of 6) from Aldi?

I have only been introduced to them recently and think I may have a slight addiction to them

I've never actually heard anyone say 'Aldis' or 'Lidls'....'Tescos' yes, but that's about it.

Maybe you should stick to Waitrose.
