Scrumpy...If I want to get trollyed I'll choose something that's fizzy that doesn't look like a kidney disease urine sample thank you


The Wurzels...enuff f*cking said


The fact that what once felt like a vaguely alternative part of the country is now packed to the rafters with yuppie scum, their restaurants and their kids celebrating getting their nowadys p!ss easy A Levels en mass.

Err...considering your opening salvo...why?

Find yourself a nice pub around midday and drink a healthy gallon of Bitter & Twisted. Repeat dose daily. That should get you through. Just don't hit any Hoorays on your way back to the hotel.

Reversing a trend..........shure you boys had employment there for centuries keeping the local rabble down.

I'll see you down there Quidsy. For I'm going fly fishing and for that the west country is superb.....and if you know where to go, not a hooray or Jamie Oliver diffusion in sight. Just me, a burbling river, the wildlife and hopefully a nice meal and a birthday pint with at the Arundell Arms after....:)-D

Aaahh - the Arundell Arms.I used to live within 3 miles of there, and enjoy a spot of fly fishing too. Now full of envy.


Some other positives for the West - North Devon - scruffy, agricultural, beautiful walks and seasides. A few really good restaurants, builders that not only turn up but also clean up after they finish work, my first married home, the birth of my two sons, one day I'll return on the proceeds of selling off in ED.

So Quids, if you are complaining about the 'West', what's the Emerald Isle......the Wild West?

I found some pure uadulterated (unpolished) beautiful pieces of real amethyst on a beach in Cornwall.


There are fabulous tin mines (yes, really) Clotted cream teas. Pirates and shipwrecks. Famous Five country. Rolling hills. Sea.


Stay away from Padstein and you'll be fine (tu)

    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?  
    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
