Orraloon Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Anyone else remember when you walked in you would have to walk through a turnstile type thing then push your trolley through these red flap things lol That jist has to be a euphemism.

Return of Yermaw Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Galbraith for me. If feeling flushed, Templetons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 When did you last go to the shops? Is "the store" not a term for the Co-op? I'm sure my mum used to slag my dads family for referring to the co-op as "the big store". Anybody use Willy lows or Presto? You'll be impressed in Presto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 You'll be impressed in Presto even before presto we hud the pick n save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Galbraith for me. If feeling flushed, Templetons. Templetons made your money go round... Fine Fare was the business, hard to beat having a cupboard full of yellow boxes and tins to show you were a cheapskate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Morrison's self-service tills are certainly not user friendly. They`ve got new ones now that actually work. Noticed some of the prices had dropped in my local Morrisons this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We're all going to Finefare, you get the cheapest wine there, na na nah, na na nah......." Sung at Kilbirnie Ladeside back in the day. The song then turns a little un-PC.....

Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Aldis and Lidl are for junkies, jakies, tramps scroungers on benefits and Eastern European mingers. Try telling that to the Porsche, Range Rover and Jag driving families of Buckingham that frequent my local store ;-) Started shopping regularly in Aldi last year, really can see why the big four are going downhill. A £120 shop in Tesco's we can easily do for £80-90. On the whole very good quality stuff but the fruit and veg is a bit iffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ANDYP Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I don't know anyone that would say I'm going to the store. I'm away to the shops or I'm away for the messages. That's how real people speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, I love your user name, Bobby Russell is one of my favourite players of all time ??
