Have to say, having shopped in all (well most) of the above local supermarkets, on account of having to carefully watch my budget and purse, I have discovered the following:-


1. While people think Lidls is quite cheap, (some stuff is) a lot of their things are quite highly priced, every day things like milk at 1.30 for four pints etc. and quite a few necessary household items are as expensive as Asda and even Sainsburys on occasion, I was quite surprised. Nettos is in fact cheaper by far for buying tinned things like beans at 9p-10p a tin whereas Lidls charge 25p a tin for their bully bargain beans, Nettos in fact taste better too.


2. Morrisons is cheapest for buying fruit and veg and getting value for money there.


3. Asda is great when you have to buy cheap school/ordinary clothes for the kids, but they also have quite a few items of food that are really cheap too. Also Iceland have a great buy one get one free thing going on, good to go shopping with a mate and split the food this way and the costs!


4. I wish I could afford to food shop in M&S! lol! when I win the lottery! Have to say I do the bulk of my shopping at Morrisons but when I'm really skint go to Nettos. Meat shopping done in my local bully bargain butchers where you can get 15lbs chicken legs/breast for something like ?2.99, pork/lamb chops, etc. at very reasonable prices and way cheaper than any of the supermarkets.

After a month without my car, schlepping up and down LL feeing very worthy buying stuff from different shops I finally got said vehicle and went to Sainsurys today.


Terrible crowds, too busy car park, shocking prices, no bloody aubergines.


Loved it, met two EDFers, had a Starbies skinny Latte, bought all my shopping in one go, no sore hands or shoulder, bloody loved it.

    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around 
    • Like everyone, super impressed with Leon. Came when he said he would. Gave great advice. Job done really quickly and efficiently. Perfect. Highly recommend
