Tesco and Sainsbury's meat is not the best to say the very least. I dont eat much meat but find Morrisons and ASDA better.

Had some pork chops from Asda once... absolutely horrible. Watery, bland, nasty texture. Will never buy meat there again.

Iceland... I stand by my opinion that they specialise in revolting, nasty, processed rubbish

I agree that their prepared foods were never to my taste - but as you also note 'and do sell some actual proper food too' their e.g. frozen unprocessed foods (and the other branded goods they sold) were entirely acceptable, good value and consistent quality.

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I'm not into ready meals at all , I buy fresh from Ocado/Waitrose plus Fruit/Vegs Box schemes .

Co-Op to me is rank . I don't like any of their food from the fresh produces to the packaged stuff . I've always wondered how they stay in business but as they are the 'main' supermarket on the Lane most of us end up in Co-Op regardless .

I have popped in M&S twice , and I have found the food to be really tasty which was a pleasant surprise . I'd happily pay more to eat their products if it's a choice between them or Co-Op. It's a great stop gap for me inbetween my Ocado deliveries .

If only Waitrose would buy out Co-Op.......

[Toffee]

FFS stop this thread. The co-op is the co-op, M&S is M&S. Shop in one or the other or go to an alternate supermarket. Why do you all think anyone cares where you shop, what you buy, what your having for supper? Geez!

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

This made me laugh !😃 You are right .... Who cares ?!

I feel the same way about dog grooming, so, horses for courses ain't it Toffee

[Toffee]

Im so glad it made you laugh dulwichbornand bred. Not aimed at you personally, but its becoming silly now.

[Toffee]

Could you please explain your post ???. I assume you have done a recent search on me, ie the minute I posted, and found a post from me re dog grooming. How utterly childish.

[????]

Telling people what they should and shouldn't comment is what then Toffee? - it's a forum, if you don't want to talk about it don't get on the thread but stop telling other people what to do maybe.

[????]

...do you interrupt people's conversations in pub and restaurants because you're not interested in them?

[85volga]

So pleased M&S has opened a great new addition to the Lane.

Regarding the childish spats going on ...................Yawn...... am I missing the point ?

The Lane is thriving and its a wonderful area to live.

Apologies to the normal EDF pessimists for being so positive and upbeat

[Toffee]

For goodness sake, get a grip. Please stop being so nasty to me. I merely voiced an opinion, that's what a forum is about. I truly hope that I dont come across as being nasty or vindictive. If I do, I would like to apologise to everyone. Sometimes its good to have a good old fashioned banter. We all need, including me, especially me, not to take things personally. I just want to join conversations/debates. Please everyone, lets be civil to each other. Life is too short not be. Xx

[TheCat]

Thanks for making this thread even better Toffee. You've inadvertently just become a key driver of its continuing magnificence....

Not really childish. A trivial amount of effort to view someone's posting history, to illustrate the point (which should be obvious) that different people like to discuss different things...

[Toffee]

Explain

Don't worry Toffee.. I told ???? to stop the anti foxy trolling..

looks like he/she has found someone else to bully.

People with nothing helpful / interesting to say do this kind of thing.

Oh bog off Foxy you self pitying twat.

As Jeremy said, I was just making the point that people like to talk about different things and that's a forum. I have nothing against Toffee and have no intention on 'bullying' him/her.

[KidKruger]

Fecking hell.

Sod Eastenders.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

I like the Sherbet sweets from M&S. Also the Onion Rings, washed down with a bottle of their real lemonade.

[Jeremy]

M&S do some decent beers.. I particularly like the Black IPA.

[numbers]

Jeremy if brown sauce is your thing, M&S do a black IPA version which is bloody excellent.

In fact their own brand range of condiments is varied and interesting. I've tried (and liked)smoked ketchup & (posh)hotdog relish.

PS If ever a thread needed Sean this is it!

Never tried it - thanks. Looks like it's made with the same beer I mentioned. Smoked ketchup sounds nice too.

[Louisa]

I popped in again today.

It isn't as good as the Beckenham store on reflection. Staff not quite as clued up (yet) and stock levels low. Also, the range isn't anywhere near as good. Disappointing freezer section too and no deli counter. But then, Beckenham is naturally posh, and ED is, well.. I don't have to spell it out. It's ok. Nothing spectacular though. Some good wines.

A lidl to replace co-op would be the ideal situation now. We don't need bloody Waitrose AND M&S. This is a dump that's been given a makeover, it's not Chelsea FFS.

On the topic of trolling, isn't it interesting that horses for courses doesn't apply when certain members wish to play the 'do as I say, not as I do' card. Tiresome.
