I parked in the one in Morningside during the week (I was working in a place round the corner with almost zero parking spots). After finishing the job, I went into the shop to "get a couple of things", spent £20 and had next to f**k all the cheeky buggers. The people shopping there regularly must be loaded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the prices are fucking obscene.

Florentine_Pogen Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Our 'local shop for local people' actually sells Waitrose products. Up until about 6 months ago it was Co-Op they had some tie-in with, then suddenly it was Waitrose. Not that I buy anything there.............................apart from the occasional boatil........... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Reminds me I need to go to Waitrose as I’ve promised the kids a tartiflette and Sainsbury hasn’t had a Roblechon for about three months. Harvey Nics in Edinburgh was way more snobby. Security guard followed me and the wife around because we clearly looked like we couldn’t afford anything in there. Bought a wee box of sweets for about a fiver in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashed hopes of some decent Reblochon could scar those young 'uns irreparably. They obviously know their Laughing Cow from their Babybel, and fobbing them off with a shitty Port Salut or such just won't wash. Wishing you the very best of luck in your quest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
