You must be a student?

I am a student and I love me some Morrissons. Except when my flatmate told me... More reasons to shop at Morisons, More reasons, sounds like....

I worked at Morrisons for 3 years. I have nothing but contempt for it now :lol

I find Waitrose nicer myself. Better range and the pre-prepared food isn't as bland tasting as some of the Sparks stuff can be.

 

[Mr. Sam]

More reasons to shop at Morisons, More reasons, sounds like....

This took me about a minute:

"More raisins?"
"More... Ray Sands?"
"Mo'... ree... soans?"

Needless to say, I get it now.

Morrisons is alright. We shop in whichever supermarket we're nearest too when we need shopping. Generally its sainsburys but sometimes Morrisons, since it's near a bus stop in town. It's a bit scabby, but they do some nice bread, the pumpkin seed bread is awesome. Somerfield is basically the worst round here, dunno about anywhere else.

/derail

Edit: Since there is a ton of Brightonians ITT, the morrisons in st.james street is the one I'm talking about. It's awesome becuase there is always scagheads hanging about in the foyer to entertain you on the way in and out. Community support officers be damned!

It's all about doing the weekly shop at the Monk's Cross 24hour ASDA in York at 3am.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Morrisons! I've been working there since I was 16 and will more than likely continue to be there until I've finished my education, which could have me there for 7/8 years altogether. The thought of that makes me laugh!

Spoiler

'cos if I didn't laugh, I'd be crying =(

Despite my hatred for the place, I still do believe it to be the best supermarket.


So good shoppers of UKgaf, if you want you food sourced from local sources; your meat cut for you personally by one of our trained instore butchers; your fish to have never been frozen; your bread to have been baked fresh in the morning and more products prepared instore than anyother supermarket. Then head to your local Morrisons!

"So come on, so come on, get it on
Don’t know what you’re waiting for
Your time is coming don’t be late, hey hey
So come on
See the light on your face
Let it shine
Just let it shine
Let it shine."


:lol




P.S. JonathanEx you blew my mind!

First polls of the Sunday papers are emerging.

ICM - National poll
CONSERVATIVES 36% (+3)
LABOUR 29% (+1)
LIB DEMS 27% (-3)

ICM - Marginals poll
Figures are irrelevant because of the nature of the poll, what the swings between each party show are that the Conservatives will end up with approx 311 seats, needing the unionist parties to form an overall majority.

Angus Reid
CONSERVATIVES 35% (+2)
LABOUR 23% (nc)
LIB DEMS 29% (-1)

YouGov
CONSERVATIVES 35% (+1)

Pretty clear what's going on here... Cons have momentum, Lib Dem bubble is popping, Labour trailing along the river bed.

Thing is, I don't know why this was breaking news on Sky News, with the yellow stripe going along at the bottom..

:lol

Even with these 'results' there will be a hung parliament.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

So Sky report that Clegg and Brown got heckled...ummmm. I never believed it, but I see what you guys are saying about Murd/Sky

 

[Chinner]

They probably did get heckled.

 

[blazinglord]

:lol

Even with these 'results' there will be a hung parliament.

Keep the dream alive Chinner! Dare to hope.

 

[Mr. Sam]

I might actually cry if the Conservatives win an outright majority. Yes, I care about politics that much.

 

[defel]

I saw the heckle live on BBC News,okay it was funny, but not worth a front page yellow BREAKING NEWS alert from sky :lol

 

[Empty]

First polls of the Sunday papers are emerging.

That's some bleak looking data. I would have begrudgingly accepted a Tory government a few months ago, but the way the last few weeks raised my hopes of us getting electoral reform makes that outcome hurt really bad.

I get disappointed when I turn on sky news and the ticker isn't breaking news yellow.

time to die.

 

[Varion]

So Sky report that Clegg and Brown got heckled...ummmm. I never believed it, but I see what you guys are saying about Murd/Sky

Well I would assume they did, there's always a heckler or two no matter who's campaigning. Went out to see Clegg's Sheffield visit yesterday and there were a few of them, a random drunken guy who kept shouting LIES until he got dragged off by a policeman while slurring 'am entitle' ta muh opinyun!', another random guy who wandered past singing 'there's only one David Cameron♫' and then another man who just looked slightly lost and was wandering around saying 'wasted vote, vote laybah!' a lot. Certainly not worth breaking news though.

And to be fair to the guys who heckled Clegg during the snooker match yesterday, they were there for snooker, not politics :lol

 

[curls]

So Sky report that Clegg and Brown got heckled...ummmm. I never believed it, but I see what you guys are saying about Murd/Sky

Just saw it, I would not say heckled:

Random bloke: We have x amount of illegal immigrants flocking over here...
Clegg: umm where have you seen any...
Random bloke: Umm some people around here have said...
Clegg: what people?
Random bloke: umm...

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Sorry I worde my post oddly, I meant I never believed you guys saying Sky News was so skewed, not that they never got "heckled"

ICM - Marginals poll

From what I've seen this will overstate the Conservative seats, as it only took account of Lab/Tory marginals in England, and not Lib/Tory marginals or impacts of the more complex swings in Scotland and Wales.

Still wide open. I'd be quite surprised (but pleased) if there's an overall majority at all, even with the Unionists.

 

[Mr. Sam]

That's some bleak looking data. I would have begrudgingly accepted a Tory government a few months ago, but the way the last few weeks raised my hopes of us getting electoral reform makes that outcome hurt really bad.

I'd been resigned to a Tory victory for about three years now. I figured I'd just ride it out and let them expose themselves as the backward fools they were. But then they had to go and give me hope that we'd get a positive change. Fuck it.

 

[Shanadeus]

I have my hopes on those shrinks, if their prediction of a hung parliament go wrong then I will kill them >:/

 

[jas0nuk]

Craploads of elections are predicted to end as hung parliaments, 2005 most recently. Even the exit poll at 10PM on polling day in 1992 said a hung parliament and we ended up with a Conservative majority.

It's an exciting story for the media but it rarely happens in reality.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Could still easily end in a Tory-Random bastards coalition.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

LOL @ The Apple Daily

"I will not insult Labour voters"

 

[Varion]

This thread is getting depressing now ;_;

I'm not going to give up until my dreams are officially dashed and a Conservative majority is announced.

Then I'll get completely drunk. And probably cry. Or more likely just rage.

 

[zou]

Honestly, if you have the money to go to Waitrose...go to M&S instead.

Except not really.

Waitrose has a far greater selection (at least around here) and the quality/taste beats anything M&S has. Especially when it comes to prepared food as someone already mentioned. Also, you make it sound as if the pricing at M&S and Waitrose is on a similar level, which again it's not. One is higher priced and offers higher quality products while the other is cheaper and often not on the same level.

Though personally I swear by Abel & Cole, really affordable, great food. Get whatever I can with them

Join the club. I'm having jackets made. And business cards.

Jeez, anyone would think that it's going to be the end of the world! It's the sort of response I'd expected if Obama had lost out to McCain/Palin but Cameron is no McCain! It'll be fiiiiiiiine. In the words of Labour in 1997, things can only get better...

/gloat

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Ummm!

So I'm listening to the radio and they announce "all three leaders get heckled" I switch to Sky and they still only say Clegg and Brown got it

WOW..fuck it, Sky News has got the Fox treatment now. Just CNN & BBC News for me!

 

[curls]

Seeing this election has clarified a few things for me.
From now on I will never have anything to do with Sky - ITV is close to being next.

 

[Dark Machine]

Join the club. I'm having jackets made. And business cards.

Can I have a jacket? I want to leave a stylish corpse after I've jumped off my balcony. If Cameron wins of course.

 

[Veidt]

wow, a lot of people I know are really scared the conservatives might win.
I mean, really scared. Things usually don't bode well for the economy when conservatives get in on it ( outside the UK at least).

 

[Meadows]

My 2p is that I'd actually at this point rather have a Conservative government than a Labour majority. Lab-Lib or Lib majority are preferable, but at the end of the day if the Tories get in, it won't be apocalypse. It seems some people would rather the country fail and the Tories get embarrassed than them actually do well. At the end of the day, if they win, then I hope they do well, as it means a better living environment for me, but I think that LD would be better at assuring it.

I really really don't want more Labour bullshit, with constantly annoying, intrusive privacy laws being pushed through (often with Tory support, I know) and ministers who seem more like marketing experts and "spin doctors" than actual politicians.

Still, Labour do fall closer to my political beliefs (Lib Dems/Greens without the anti-science) than the Tories and I hope that if they don't get in that they have a top to bottom reform, bringing in a lot of fresh faces (hopefully Alan Johnson as leader, not the Milliblands).

 

[Sage00]

I suppose this is a no-brainer after The Guardian threw their support in, but The Observer endorse the Lib Dems.

 

[Dr Zhivago]

I'm now expecting a repeat of 1992. The prospect of genuine change is replaced with a Tory government with a tiny majority, who will nevertheless claim a 'mandate' to do loads of shit, like castrate the BBC.

If they do get in then I'd much rather them do well than prove me right by doing badly and messing the whole country up, that's for sure. The country's future isn't really the kind of thing to be playing 'well, I told you so!' with, much as I really have no affection for this country and would be quite happy to leave and go elsewhere.

As for the second paragraph, that pretty much seems to describe the Tories just as well. Cameron's already said he has no intention of repealing the Digital Economy Bill for one thing, and the party as a whole seem just as spin-happy as Labour ever was.
