Your descriptions are, *Bob*, rather spot on!! LOL. However, I disagree with you that the wine was ALL awful. I mentioned earlier in this thread how annoying it was, to find the fridges broken so often. As this will be my local store, I really hope it will be a big improvement on what was.

*Bob* - I hope you will not be too traumatised if the newly revamped Co-op does not have garlic or limes. Having said that, I am incandescent with rage that I did not receive the ?2 off voucher, as I only live a stone's throw from the shop.


I hope that the smell of rat's pee has gone. I also hope that I - a size 8 incidentally - will be able to squeeze through the narrow aisles, without having to take a deep breath in.

Then they'll only have themselves to blame for the broken window.

That'll learn 'em.

It's worse than that, Lizzie - I actually received two ?2 discount vouchers. I'll be raking-in the free goods! (As long as I go make two transactions, naturally)


Interestingly, the marketing people at Co-Op HQ have chosen a rather disturbing image to represent the fresh new look of our fresh new Co-Op.


I'm not sure how to put this, but if (for some reason) I were to be asked to model a penis using only ice cubes and a Granny Smith apple, I think it would probably look something like this:

New improved co-op much better - better range, bread baked on premises (I think). Never noticed the strange smell... Never really was bothered by inability of staff to communicate, fresh veg is better from the Turkish Supermarket 100 yards up the road, still cramped, but I'm hardly doing a big shop in there..... Does what it says on the tin... Expect to be co-operative when there is more than one of you in the aisle.

Just went in today for the first time since the revamp. Thought it was very expensive and no organic stuff apart from milk :(

Produce aside - and it is a shop after all - it LOOKS better. However, I'd have preferred a better range of food. They still do great chicken, so can't complain too much.

The new co-op is a bit cramped and still!! the place is a bit of a mess. I know you have to refil stock and that can be messy with boxes etc, but not all over the floor. And a few days in one of the chiller cabinets developed a leak and there was water running across the floor :(


(As for the grammer and shit, I have been told off by some pesky forumite in the past about my spelling. Rude.)

I understand that what happened is the police were alerted to the state of the place and the fact that there were a lot of burglaries there, and they read this forum to see what was going on(!) and then called in Trading Standards. The staff were (or should that be 'was' - no, sounds wrong, I'll stick with 'were') fired, and the place cleaned up. Crime is being designed out.
It's seriously cramped. More cramped than ever before. Whilst waiting in the queue I see people breathing on the bakery delights - think of this next time you sink your teeth into your cinnamon swirl pastry... I saw a man's dreadlock poke a raisin out of a danish pastry too... :X

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
