Woody's

miss annie · July 2016

Was just thinking about Woody's and the sheep. That is all.

They had the best Spanish onions in Stroud Green. Sad. So sad.

Reliable source of sorrel too

Sigh. Did anyone get the sheep?

Mimsy · July 2016

Woody's was great (although the sheep thing wasn't)... 37 types of olives

graeme · July 2016

Sheep just out of shot

Love that episode - never realised it Woody's! I only had the joy of it for a bit

The guy with the hair, pointy shoes and faux leather jackets, the girl on the counter being the most miserable shop assistant in North London. Going in and asking if they stocked Olives? 'Feta cheese perhaps?'. Getting a cab to stop off there post clubs to get some cans of beer on the way home.

Done that cab stop many times. Only shop that was open in the old days all night

I'm glad it's a Sainsbury's!

Why? Sainsburys generally are horrid and that one specifically is dreadful.

miss annie · August 2016

@tosscat! Nice to see you here.

Sainsburys have the worst drinks range of any supermarket. Good pizza though.

miss annie · August 2016

It is dreadful, as is the one on lower SGR. I generally like Sainsburys but they are not good at convenience stores.

Well quite.

What is so bad about it? I don't like supermarkets much and avoid where possible, but it's never struck me as a particularly unpleasant or badly-run shop, apart from some low staffing around the tills sometimes.

NorthNineteen · August 2016

I think it's quite decent - decent range of stock and though the meat selection is a tiny bit limited sometimes it stocks plenty to be able to make meals. What's wrong with the beer selection? Not enough craft beer....?

krappyrubsnif · August 2016

I assume the appeal of Sainsbury v Woody is that Sainsbury has instantly recognisable middle of road fodder, brands and packaging in English, ready meals etc. Food shopping you don't need to think about. Personally, I think, Where's the fun in that?

Woody with different 30 types of olive, twelve goats milk cheeses, obscure halva and flatbread any time, for me.

Marquis · August 2016

Didn't Woody's have a big hygiene problem? When it was still around that seemed to be the consensus on this forum. Or maybe it was just very frequent posters making it appear to be the consensus. I don't remember.

tosscat · August 2016

I'm with KRS. I love having a gander around all the nice things from all over the place.

Howdy, Stranger!
