You can buy everything from...I love my corner shop. You can buy everything from Spam to Veggie Bacon, toothpaste to TCP in there. You can have a moan about the weather, a good old whinge about the local parking restrictions and bump into other neighbours. In a big city like mine, these havens of community are to be treasured. On saying that, I am still guilty of popping into Marks and Spencers in the station as well. Oh dear, I do try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991521249777064341.post-68954205933311758762007-06-18T11:29:00.000+01:002007-06-18T11:29:00.000+01:00I didn't know about that!

Marks and Spencer have championed the state of Israel and thus connived in the dispossession and suppression of the Palestinian Christians. Our comforts and pleasures, which Marks and Spencer so eagerly service, have been bought at an unacceptable price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991521249777064341.post-29728515507100770192007-06-18T07:43:00.000+01:002007-06-18T07:43:00.000+01:00Thanks, Rita.

Regrettably, Blogbury is many miles from Lancashire, but you can bet that if we had a Booths near here, I'd go nowhere else!Fr Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453464347435181524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991521249777064341.post-13098868731089313742007-06-17T17:45:00.000+01:002007-06-17T17:45:00.000+01:00As an exiled Lancastrian, IMO please use Booths as...As an exiled Lancastrian, IMO please use Booths as much as you can, you'll miss them if they get swallowed up by T****. <BR/><BR/>Where I live now (rural) it is either the Co-Op or T****, and whilst the Co-Op is more expensive, many of its products are better quality. Sorry to hear about your chicken....but I've even had a naff one from the local organic supplier of happy hens. A good chicken can be a lottery.<BR/><BR/>p.s I do always enjoy your blog and hope you have many more happy hours blogging.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120333351409730480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991521249777064341.post-39577157646063021572007-06-17T16:02:00.000+01:002007-06-17T16:02:00.000+01:00Have you tried Ocado.com?

It's Waitrose food, but you can order online and it all gets delivered by very helpful chaps, and it's all been packed in colour coded bags so that the frozen food stays frozen etc...<BR/><BR/>...the main advantage is that they give you specific time slots so that you don't have to wait in all day (I think the slots are hourly, maybe half-hourly) and if you're feeling particularly "green" the slots actually show when the van is in your area anyway, if you want to pick that time to help save petrol!Mulier Fortishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186202810919174492noreply@blogger.com
