Make porridge with water instead. Or make toast. Or scrambled eggs. Or a full English.........

Proper scrambled eggs requires a bit of milk.

Recently I was buying 'Brown Rice Milk' by the brand Rude Health at Sainsburys.It was priced as being on special offer with 50p off at £2 a carton ... it is now on the shelves priced at £1.85.

The supermarkets still don't get it. We no longer trust them on pricing.

We no longer trust them on quality.

We no longer trust them to even keep the food safe (how can we believe their promises on tracking food from herd to packet if they didn't even realise that horse was being substituted).

We no longer trust them to act ethically towards their suppliers.

I slightly trust Waitrose and Morrisons more than I trust others (eg. Tesco, Sainsbury).

I think Dave Lewis is probably good news for Tesco, but he has a long journey ahead. I think he's made the right thing in firing a number of senior execs, and I read that he's also sorting out some of the supplier issues too.

So your education was deficient in the "learned"/"learnt" area.

(I think it is an English English thing. So American spellcheckers would side with you.)

"learned" and "learnt" are both OK, but "learned" is the one usually used in the US.

By the way I'm going to do my usual weekly shop with Asda & Aldi later as I always do.

Thanks for sharing.

Where you've written we it needs replaced with you (I, to be technically correct seeing you're speaking for yourself). You are not the voice of the nation.

Far from just me!

"According to a detailed new survey of shoppers, Tesco’s brand in the UK is “severely compromised” with customers becoming increasingly disillusioned with the service.

The company has the lowest overall customer satisfaction metrics in the grocery industry and its brand is “tarnished”, research by specialist advisory firm Lazarus has claimed.


The research by Lazarus is a detailed study of 2,000 customers across the UK. The study was conducted for institutional investors, but has been seen by The Telegraph."

Certainly not!

Proper scrambled eggs need no milk at all.
