Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job. -

Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries. -

They have a convenience chain branded 'Little Waitrose', which puts me off them a bit. I m not sure why. Waitrose is a much smaller chain than any of the others, including M&S, which may explain why they're not here. -
I believe the key issue is the available size of shops. Waitrose, unlike M&S does not, I believe, have a small outlet offering which could be shoehorned into LL except in one or two spots.
