But the coffe would still be terrible.
We only have one. I can't wait as I hate Tesco food, as it's tasteless and you dont really go wow Id really like to eat that when you look around in there.
Im hoping Sainsburys have better quality food. Im sure they will and there are lots of things in Sainsburys. I wish it wouldnt take so long. I have the feeling it won't open it's taking so long.
Oh well.
Tescos just do one kind of bog standard gravy which is awful Sainsburys do different kinds for example.
Tescos dont sell Plum baby food wheras Sainsburys do. Sanisburys sell great tasting low fat crisps. Tescos only sell frozen yorkshire puddings and not fresh ones, Sainsburys do. Tescos have stopped selling smoothies for kids which Sainsburys sell.
There are loads of things I would like to buy there that Tescos dont sell and to walk there instead of driving is better for me.
I really dont think there is much choice around her by foot.
I can't say I often buy gravy though, do people really do that? You don't make it yourself? Granted, if I'm feeling really lazy I'll use Bisto, but never buy an actual pot of gravy!
As for only having one, there are three a short walk/bus ride away in Crouch End and there are more on Holloway Road.
I think a lot of people do buy fresh gravy as when I go to M&S on Sundays before it closes its all sold out. It tastes much nicer than Bisto, though there is nothing wrong with Bisto.
Yes I know there are supermarkets further away but on most days I have a baby in tow and a toddler and the pfaff and stress and not to mention dirty looks if I have a double buggy on a bus and then carrier bags to boot is not worth contemplating on most days.
@Bridget
As long as you're not trying to hoist a pram and shopping on to a bus in the rush hour you'll be fine. Everyone gives dirty looks to people who do that. It's like people who don't go to work and then choose lunchtime to go to the bank or post office!
On the snail front - I bought a mixed bag of three different types of lettuce from Waitrose on Holloway Road on Tuesday and we found at least two snails in amongst the leaves. We just picked them off. I don't think it's a comment on the standards of Waitrose and if it is it's a positive comment.
Also, if the rumours I hear are true we'll have Sainsbury's on one corner and some bank (think it was Barclays) on the other - and that's no good thing in my opinion.
I hope not though, I like the Old Dairy :(
Coming soon, a video shop.
I used to get food delivered by Riverford, and Abel and Cole. Organic lifestyle shit -- basically carrots. So many fucking carrots you'd need seventeen horses just to finish them each week. And the veg was full of snails or slugs. I didn't mind that that cos, like, you know, veg comes out of soil and a bit of a rinse should make it edible; doesn't really need to be gassed by a shitload of Zyklon B before it reaches your plate.
But I'm fussy.
Will it f*ck. DEATH TO BIG BUSINESS EXCEPT THE ONES I DEAL WITH, THEY'RE ALRIGHT.
Ian - I would be. All my best shopping is alcohol induced.
