Asdas, Tescos and Mataland

As I always call it Pr - eye - mark I laughed at a work colleague who called it Pr - ee - mark.

She then asked her cousin who worked there who said it's a sackable offence to call it Pr - ee - mark!

Primark smells funny, I don't go in as it makes me feel nauseous.

'For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life'. One of my favourite quoted is that Laneyboo :-)

I know quite a few people who call Argos, Argost :-O

As for Primart/k I never know what it's called :-/

Speaking of typos.... why do so many people write "definately" instead of "definitely" ??? The proper word is "definitely".... come on...


And.... How to pronounce "LIDL" ... L-ee-dle OR L-eye-dle ? Help.... I've heard both of them and I'm confused...

Mataland is just weird and I can't see why people would say that.

Tescos & ASDAs is ok in my book
I just assume it is just a shortened version of Tesco's supermarket, ie. the one owned by the Tesco company.

Q. Which supermarket are you going to?
A. Tesco's

Dont forget Preemark & Merks & Spancers

It has been renamed "Sparks and Mensa" in my house after my son constantly got it wrong! (he was only 3 at the time)
