yes sorry about that one,i could never spell the word and its no use looking it up in a dictionary if i dont know where to start,but joking aside,ASDA are one of the most racist companies in the world,there parent company WALMART in the USA are very anti british,and when i worked for the ACCRINGTON store back in 1999,i was told of for wearing a Union jack wrist sweatband as it might upset the asian workers on the night shift.

The worrying thing is that the two antagonists here are probably voters. Democracy is supposed to mean the people have the power, and here are two examples who can't tell the difference between a war joined on political grounds and the people whose job it is to fight those wars.

I support British troops, I don't support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The wristband is only an indication of the former.

Well, as you know Cashy, I am a man of the highest moral and ethical principles and as such I am more than reluctant to spend dosh in order to line the pockets of the Walton family of Arkansas, U.S.A.; that money has a far greater value sloshing around the small market stalls around Accy.

However, on the occaision of that sunday morning, I was in desperate need of a memory stick, and some bleach and sliced ham and thus I had no alternative but to visit the Hyndburn Road chicken shed. So on that occaision, it was a case of 'Mea Culpa', but I hope never to repeat the crime again.

You can actually buy all those on the Sunday Market

Yes....I believe so...but I only had 17 minutes to load the memory stick and Accy town centre would have been 10 minutes too late. Had I known in advance, then the sunday or even saturday market would have been my first port of call.

Bollocks.

If you want the pecking order of quality supermarkets they are as follows - starting with the bottom first:-

1) Aldi/Lidil

2) ASDA/Morrisons

3) Tesco/Sainsburys

4) Waitrose/Booths(North-West only)

I've ignored the Co-Op, Somerfields, M&S and Costas because I can't be bothered with 'em.

Sorry, I was thinking of Cost Cutters.......still, if you are daft enough to fork out three quid for a coffee then you would probably not know the difference between a supermarket and a cafe.
