We've never had a problem either here or in Hertfordshire with either Tesco or Asda. Come to that we didn''t have a problem when we used Sainsbugs when they first started this whole performance in North London a great many years ago.

I know exactly where you're coming from Growler. My nearest supermarket is a Morrisons, of all the supermarkets I've used, Morrisons bread (and pies  cloud9: ) are vastly superior to any others. And you were right about Christmas cake thing, we've polished off a couple in the past few weeks. A colleague once said, "never go in on a Saturday lunch-time, it's chav-city"... so I did, she was right, I won't do it again

Great. Guess where TG is being dragged to in the next hour.  noooo:

She was talking about the local one, I forgot to add that she said the ones around Leicester have excellent clien clyunt people shopping there (honest)

Well I raised the standard of the place when I walked in.

Bloody heaving. No trolleys etc. It's like the whole city realised Xmas is coming and decided to go to Morrisons. bastards.  cussing:

I'm just severely pissed off that there wasn't a Crimbo CAKE, or even Crimbo CAKE slice on the shelves. Banghead
I've deliberately started going early morning now, to give the munters chance to stock the shelves up during the night.  ::)

Come on. WHAT is the point in 'avin' Crimbo if they haven't got Crimbo CAKE on sale then ey? confused:

It's not a Christmas cake though, It's a "top iced rich fruit cake". Lovely fruit cake, golden marzipan, white icing, a plastic sprig of holly, [cynic mode on] but nowhere does it say that it's Christmas cake, so all religions can enjoy it without offending their particular god  [cynic mode off]

I really don't care a monkeys chuff what you call it. It's CAKE, and I luv it,  cloud9: but I haven't got any.  cussing:

Why's it got a sprig of holly on it then if it's not Crimbo CAKE?

The holly could stay ~ but the cake would have to have been made in line with Kosher rules of food preparation.
