Ah, now ... I totally agree with this, and I have been known to go shopping in there, put all the stuff through the till and tell them I won't buy it unless they give me a free bag They always do

They are great and I won't have a word said against them - so there

If it was all down to saving the planet, why are they not giving us FREE recycled, paper bags ? huh?! it's all about the money! I hate it even more when I see old people being mugged in M & S

In all seriousness Zazz I don't see why you think they are more expensive then other stores. They really are competitively priced - I actually think that Tescos are more expensive and their food is not a quarter as good.

 

IMO of course

Ah now Morrisons - I have to agree with you.

They are fantastic - their fresh produce is second to none.

To be fair I do not think M and S is a place you could do a weeks shop in and I would have to agree with you on that point. I did not realise that was what she was doing

Hope she's better in time. I spent one Xmas with norovirus. It was miserable - all I could manage was a breadstick and water.

just a breadstick and water you say? that would save me some grief !! hmmm

I agree Moomin, can't beat a good home made one, laced with brandy... although for shop bought ones, haven't had one better than these: http://www.lewisandcooper.co.u...re/plum_puddings.asp
