It just said they dont do my area YET. So I assume they never have but are planning to expand to here

I cant see the locals attacking the vans round here somehow, the majority of them cant walk as they are about 100 years old :D

I don't think people are taking issue with the fact that he shops at Waitrose, more the apparent implication that "better people"(?) shop there. I'm not entirely convinced that that is the implication of what he was saying, to be fair - I doubt he actually gave it much thought and it was a bit of a throw-away comment.

...I mean, he probably does have a better experience at Waitrose than at other supermarkets. Waitrose is stupidly overpriced (not just reflective of quality - branded products cost more for some reason...) and therefore I can only imagine that the people who still shop there are those who are unaffected by the recession and therefore are probably Tories anyway, keen to shake Dave's hand, or give him a cheeky blowjob down the Caviar isle, or whatever.

Whereas his experience in other supermarkets is more akin to a warzone; dodging angrily hurled chicken nuggets and risking concussion from flying ready-meals.

The last time he went to Lidl, an immigrant tried to beat him to death with a frozen chunk of beef. A cheap silverside, too. Blergh!

i know if i glanced at him where i shop (asda, tesco, sainsburys) i'd just avoid eye contact and move to another aisle. waitrose, i'm sure, is full of daft old folk who think his shiny face is endearing.

IS noone going to big-up Spar or Premier?

Shaun 03-04-2014 05:58 PM

Spar hardly does anything and they overcharge for a lot.

I found one for ASDA actually. I have used them before and this voucher is for new customers only, so I am going to make a new account with my new bank card and plead ignorance if they catch me :angel:

Shaun 03-04-2014 06:15 PM

I did use Waitrose a few times when I was in Bath but only because it was the only other supermarket in the city centre than Sainsburys (and Iceland but Iceland is disgusting unless you only have £20 to live on for a week). Waitrose is fine for big brands because they're mostly the same price, it's just their own stuff that's expensive.

i sense a bit of snobbery
under tories it is day light robbery.

the truth 04-04-2014 10:59 AM

it implies hes a snob but whats new, pretty trifling story really....maybe we need to dwell more
biut we love our trivial headlines

on slightly important matters, why him and his kronies wanted to bomb syria? or why theres no investigation into the disastrous welsh nhs, the stinking sale of royal mail, the fact the city went bust and no one was held accountable and were going back in the same direction, the london housing bubble yet again growing out of controk etc

The housing bubble bothers me a LOT. Its all going to happen again IMO..prices are falsely inflated at the moment, another crash is inevitable. Not that the tories will care about that as the crash will happen under labour again no doubt so they can play the blame game.

I honestly wish there was a party who actually cared about the people it supposedly governs, rather than scoring political points as the main 2 seem to do.

the truth 04-04-2014 12:11 PM

cares lol.........we get what we deserve a bunch of shallow suits who spout endless cliches to try and sound caring and meaningful, but whats really happened in the UK is that actual real deep debate and even real conversation is banned. all common sense has gone out the window. the recent debate on europe was so typical, I could have hand picked a monkey from a zoo who could have put up a better showing than that buffoon clegg......and hes deputy prime minister ? all major issues are buried under trivial ones and we all fall for it........I could start a thread here about some celebrity saying something dumb about another one and it runs for weeks.....type a thread about the prevantable deaths of tens of thousands of innocents in appalling hospitals and no one is interested

we mock the yanks for being dumb? yeah right....they jump over our heads in every possible way.....even george bush outwitted our PM. and dont get me started out our disastrous NHS which politicians always falsely suck up to to try and squeeze more votes. but they all go private lol.

we are one of the most moronic countries on the planet.

I don't know, I think people are a bit more wise to that now. And if not, Labour can simply copy the Tory tactic from when they got in: promise the earth, then get into power and say "OMG we've just looked at the books and they've left us in a real sticky spot folks :(. We didn't know until we got in, honest :(."

Cameron will have left a note stuck to the underside of the desk at No.10 that simply says "LOL, country's ****ed, have fun."

Says more about people in general than about the political parties, to be honest. The two major parties are locked in an endless game of bull**** press releases, point scoring and mind games because this is genuinely what wins votes. The vast majority of the population are brainless tabloid readers with absolutely no political knowledge whatsoever - the latest headline CAN make a drastic difference in the polls and in actual votes. Sad, but that's the world we live in.

Problem is though, everyone seems to see a vote or 'other' as a wasted vote. Which it probably would be unless masses of people just said enough is enough. Lib dems were gathering support year after year until Clegg ****ed them, and screwed their voters over something rotten, now I doubt they will have a slight chance again for a LONG time. The only way we will get someone different in I think is if another party starts slowly gathering support (but please..anyone but UKIP :o) but even then it will take years and years for them to stand a decent chance.

the truth 04-04-2014 12:33 PM

lib dems are surely finished as a political force
labour actually have the chance to rebuild but theyre too spineless to take it and simply never learn lessons
ukip will do exceptionally well but must expand their manifesto
the national parties like snp and plaed cymru should pick up some votes, but the welsh dont really want independence , whereas the scots maybe do
all of which means the tories may sneak through again.......unless ukip steal a big chunk of their seats

my guess is nearer election time, farrage will ultimately be drowned by the power brokers, the elite and the bbc .....the elite in the end write the headlines and hold the whole country to ransom......theyll probably let us freeze in the election winter then tell us unless we vote against farrage we will freeze to death

anne666 04-04-2014 02:04 PM

Cherie Blair shopped at Waitrose so she must have lowered the tone somewhat.:dance:

the truth 04-04-2014 02:34 PM

she was a champagne socialist who got rich out of twsting human rights laws and milking them endlessly

Niall 04-04-2014 02:50 PM

Honestly, Waitrose's prices aren't so bad. I don't get why they have that weird stigma about them.

But anyway are people really that surprised that he'd say something snobby like that? He's a rich **** with no inclination as to what normal life is. In other news, the sky is blue.

Yes, her and hubbie are a match made in heaven.

David Cameron has admitted that he is a channel surfer and likes watching “rubbish” on TV.

He said he infuriated his wife Samantha by flicking from one show to another. He confessed: “I have that annoying male habit of channel surfing.

“I drive her mad because I sometimes watch more than one thing at a time, and then she’ll leave the room.”

Cameron said he was a fan of Midsomer Murders. He added: “I love murder mysteries and things like that on a Sunday night to escape from it all. I watch a lot of rubbish.”
Ooh, aren't they just like us everybody? Aren't they so relatable?

:rolleyes:
