I dunno about that...
and the food....do you really like the food?


They built one in Blackheath a couple of years ago, I've only been in there once - but have to admit, I was well impressed with their range. I've an ASDA and Sainsbury's nearly on the doorstep so tend to shop there. My friend's daughter went for a job there and apparently they pay so well because all the staff have to remember the price of everything in the shop. I'd definitely fail the test, I can't even remember what I went in for sometimes.
There's no place like home ......

They've got them at a few supermarkets here (not where I shop), and at Ikea (tried those, works okay), other than that I've only tried them in the UK, with my foreign credit card.
I don't know if it's more novelty factor than anything else though!

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

If you dare to use your own bag she screeches instructions out that make you look like an idot also. :shock: :lol:
