Supermarkets in France vary in quality so much, you never know what you're going to get. And I don't mean by brand, I mean by location. For example, the Intermarché in Uzes is magnificent, whilst the branch in Calais is repulsive.
In Holland there's only really one option, Albert Heijn, and they're just dull.
No. I think we do supermarkets rather well.
Carrefour I like, I like a lot of the Italian wons.
Ralphs in LA was top notch and Trader Joes was good, in Canada the Loblaws in Toronto was the best supermarket I have ever seen.
Perhaps coming back from holiday and having to go to Morrisons as it's closest put me in this mood.
But as other choices go Tescos and sainsburys, Asda I am not fond of, Waitrose is good but there isn't a big won near me.
I like some things about their supermarkets, such as better fish counters and the availability of foreign stuff. However, I greatly dislike the French thing of having to weigh and label one's own vegetables. What the fück is that all about? Also, the staff are surly.
I also think it seems like if you go there later in the day they seem to still have stuff available.
whereas if I go somewhere here in the evening all the good stuff is gone.
I think they close the deli counter at morrisons near me at 18:30pm ridiclues. the store closes at 10
Jesus - you don't know you are born. What I would give for a Waitrose or M&S Food place here - even a Sainsbury's or Tescos would be great. Try living in a country where everything closes at 8pm and nothing opens on Sundays. And if something sells out, it is never replaced because why would they like popular stuff in the store. My local Edeka - which is about the size of Sainsbury's in Angel (if that is still there) hasn't had any Coke in it for a week now
All my hours of sweat and toil and all you can do is pish against the wall.

Btw having read Arseblog earlier today it put me in mind of your own match summation yesterday. Essentially and very much an occasion where you had to be there.
Read a thing on him last night in The Guardian, Amy Lawrence I think. All a bit mad after one game but there is modern football.
Wd EN.
I've been aware in the past that the ze myth of cherman efficiency doesn't always apply to the retail sector (late takeup of technology) but I find that very odd. Is it an EPOS/stock failling or a logistical one, do you think? They're too busy making motor vehicles to actually drive stuff around in them?
I was thinking about an app for people to share public toilet info for those who like walking. Yes Walking not wa nking
Though it's probably already done.
whilst away I walked over 100miles in 2 weeks and finding a pisser isn't always the easiest thing.
hotels are always good (most of the time) I am never worried to stroll in and use the facilities. worst case pretend to be on the phone.
The loblaws that’s in maple leaf gardens is amazing.
I like sobeys too
Actually, him being dead is the worst thing about him. The little patch of grass in Highgate by The Flask, Ray Davies's house and Kate Moss's house is now a permenant shrine to the auld bugger and it's a bleedin mess with scruffy flags, messages, dead flowers and so on. And tourists everywhere, of course.
Yeah, pissr.
Supermarkets, shopping malls, department stores, petrol stations (polite to buy something), museums, art galleries, parks. The swimming pool on the Cally Road came to the rescue once. Realistically I'm sure if you were desperate and walked into a pub and slapped 50p on the bar they'd let you use the loo. Or 30p if you wanted to haggle.
