Still have to take glass to the bottle banks at Safeway.

..... Morrisons, sorry.


:-(( Yes our local Safeway store has gone to Morrisons and it is not for
the better, how do you feel?

and for those who lurk and monitor newsgroups, it is the one at Lake on the
Isle of Wight, but reports say that the Newport Isle of Wight is a downward
turn as well. That particular poster now goes to Tesco.

Agreed. The quality has gone down.
I've moved on to Sainsburys.

I was in Safeways there in August and it was OK then, although the
lovely continental stuff had all gone since we were there in 2003.

Would you believe I asked in the deli section for some garlic sausage and
they said they had stopped doing it!

If you live anywhere near Bridge of Allen, the deli there is second to
none. Left-hand side of the main street if you are facing away from
Stirling.

I don't know, we have used the Asda across the road since it opened a few years ago now.
At one time in Dumbarton, there was only really Safeway (Presto before that), so we had little choice, but now Asda is here, Safeway and latterly Morrisons has been noticeably emptier.
They don't have the monopoly and cannot just give us any old rubbish any more.
Theoretically anyway, becuase it hasn't stopped them.

We only use the bottle banks at Morrisons really.

Although, Morrisons do give you tubs of olives without all the fancy herbs or other bits of guff in them, which Asda doesn't.
There you have to buy a large jar of them in brine or whatever the stuff is.

I am particularly partial to black olives by the way (trying in vain to keep this vaguely on topic).

Ta, yes I know it but I'm over the other side at Bannockburn.

Oh right. Not that far though for the occasional visit? I have a very
old schoolfriend who lives in Dalgety Bay but I don't think she goes to
Bridge of Allen much.
