Even about 16/17years ago I still remember my mum taking me shopping with her in Ossy. We got our food from the fruit and veg shop, then cheese and milk from the deli, then meat from the butchers and bread/cakes from the bakery
loved it!
We didn't really go to asda/sainsburys then.
Even where I work now in a butchers we have to have shelves with prepacked already priced up meat. It's still made fresh in the morning, but people are so used to just getting things prepacked/weighed/priced that we have to have it out.
I love how a lot of people think I look too young to know what an ounce, or 3/4lb is
ounces and lbs are better to work with, easier to get a handful of 1lbs of mince, rather than it having to be exactly 300gm.
Where ever I went I always had tasters aswell. Sometimes a free apple/banana!
