    Here's a nutty story for you all

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-22308165

    Anyone ever been in a 'Booths' supermarket? Never heard of them before.

    Booths is to M&S what M&S is to Netto. It's a whole level of snobbery higher than either Sainsbury's, Waitrose or M&S could ever aspire too.

    They are near to me - Ilkley etc - very affluent area. Expensive and elite just for the sake of being. I've been once and would never return.
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

    I have been in the one at Kirby Lonsdale - several times. That is because the nearest other supermarket used to be around 14 miles away from where my friend lives. They do stock a good range, for a smaller supermarket, but are grossly overpriced.

    Good description. We have one here and the prices are :eek: I have only been in 3 times, all 3 times were desperate measures. Have to say though, it always seems busy

    We had it too bubbs, just after lunch. Came from nowhere. One minute bright sunshine, the next minute big hailstones bouncing about. Glad we'd just got in :D Nice and sunny again now though :)
