That would be a shame Raggytash, because 'our' Asda is an excellent place for people on low incomes to get real bargains and reduced prices. It also seems to us to be the most 'multi-cultural' of the lot. We often see people we know by sight from many countries in there, and their food too is diverse (halal for example, and unusual, exotic vegetables, chillies and so on)

I think we'll be driven to buying a smallholding and raising chickens, pigs and lamb ourselves, plus all the vegetables we need. That way we'll get cheap food and will sell our surplus. If we weren't so aged, that idea appeals...
