Maybe we shouldn't wish for a Waitrose in place of our Somerfield...

erm no.... i still want a waitrose... :X

[nutty]

yeah - fair enough - me too...

[karter]

...but i thought Co-op bought Somerfields not Waitrose?

[PeckhamRose]

Should we have a Harrods?

[Natalious13]

yep coop bought somerfield but they won't keep all the sites which means there's still hope for a waitrose! but hey i'll settle for a co-op over somerfield any day.

Well yes, but people go to Waitrose 'cos of its poncey brand rather than any quality issue. The woman all think they're doing what Nigella does and their husbands hope they're going to bump into her

Personally I'd prefer a big Carrefour. Cheaper and nicer.

Me too, whether Co-op or Waitrose, has to be better than Somerfield - both good, in different ways.

Is my grammar right there? I fear not :)

Bit of a generalisation I think. Before I lived in my old house I always used Sainsbury's because I thought the frsh stuff was nicer quality than Tesco, but the choice of supermarkets in my small town was limited to Waitrose or Lidl, and so I did use Waitrose and it was nicer quality than Sainsbury's. Customer service was generally better too. I don't watch Nigella on the TV, and I didn't know she shopped in Waitrose either. So now I use Ocado, which is also the best delivery service from what I can make out.

Shopping in Waitrose is almost a pleasant experience - no matter what you think ???? - the choice is superior to any of the other supermarkets, and their own brand is priced on a par with others, and their wine selection is wider and more interesting than others.

Carrefour yes I'm with you on that one Monkey

[i got dulwich on me]

when did dulwich become the new chelsea, its unrecognizable what with all these poncy shops and bars. but i do think sommerfeilds should be replaced because its defiantly not in keeping with the surroundings. i thought we were getting a marks and sparks food hall instead we got white stuff......
