Waitrose Shoppers Not Happy

[hitony]

It is also comforting to know that you can park your car without some chav style person leaning against it while smoking or trying to hold a Neanderthal style conversation with some other Asda chav!!

How awful. Still, if it keeps "Aubergina and Flymo" as exclusively upper class...

Flymo!

First time I have read this thread, we shop at Waitrose, but I must say I do agree with all the shoppers who say about the deal attracting all the wrong sorts! quite frankly it is and we don't jolly well like it! we pay that much extra for our provisions so we escape the Tesco / Asda / Sainsburys users, we pay for that privilege!!! (I seriously wont even mention Lidl users!!)

I do hope someone in the marketing department at Waitrose is getting shouted at, its wrong and not acceptable!

I don't expect you all to agree with me, but I bet most of you do!

What is this "lidl" thing that keeps being mentioned? I've yet to try one? Is it a new organic quiche or something?

 

[hitony]

Nouveau riche, I presume?

Said in a very brummie accent........ I have MORE MONEY than YOU!

No idea, but the incandescent and effervescent Gina G sang about it not so long ago.

God only knows, I could well have spelt it wrong, not a word we used at Private School!

You're French?

Do I?? my god I must have got lost coming home from Harrods one night!!

This gag has already been done....and is kind of what the original article is about.

That will teach me not to open the links to the thread!

Why do posh people say "Leedel" in a German accent FFS its Liddle. Up North even NISA which is a corner shop competitor to Spar has changed from NISA rhyming with LISA to NICER

Play the game SOG - all part of the pretending to shop there not because need to but because it's fun pretence!

I might make more of an effort with the impoverished and shop at Lidl so that I am in a position to throw a sympathetic smile in their direction. Sort of like a community service, but entirely voluntary. I've heard they do some super smoked salmon, so might pick up (and pay for) a tray of that.

Now that is one thing that they do that IS cheap and shit unless you like eating pink wool. (In Waitrose voice) One daren't even think how it's farmed.

ALDI is better than LIDL - it is the WHICH Supermarket of the year for the second year running, which obviously makes mit considerably better than Waitrose.

They also have a fizzy wine (Cremant de Jura) which has been highlighted by one journalist as the best value fizzy available at the moment.

And I am not writing this as a committed customer - I went in to an ALDI for the first time yesterday (Bevois valley, Southampton) and was quite impressed. When we came out, our car was sandwiched between two '63 reg BMW X5's.

The Security Features on BMW X5's are obviously not too hot then......

Nigella-gate proved this means nothing - often servants borrow the masters car, credit card etc for personal use!

And the important thing to note here was that Dave wasn't driving either
