  1. The bags might come from the same place but are they the same? I get my condoms from the same company but they COME in different varieties, ribbed,sensitive,super large(my favourite :lol: )(Ok I made that one up) and lots of flavours. Just because the bags come from the same manufacturer does not mean they are the same!

    Asda are pro-actively looking for more profit!

    Just supposing that EVERYONE buys these re-usable bags, and Asda replaces them FREE of charge, who's going to pick up the tab for this, I mean who is going to pay for all the replacements and don't try and tell me Asda will because if you do well you are more.........! Work it out for yourself :(

  2. That go compare advert, Christ you could never get sick of kicking that singer :lol:

    Soap powder adverts promising stain removal that they were saying they could do thirty year ago AAARRRGGGGHHHH :lol: :lol:

    Gold adverts and loan adverts with 2000%+ interest and those 'Have you had an accident' ones, yes pet you have, with your bluddy fringe :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

  3. Merlin,

    Don't know how far that is correct, as far as I know council are bending over backwards with legs akimbo to accommodate Tesco and it is only recalcitrance by Tesco holding up the deal. Tesco have already taken over the covenant on the car park, probably in order to adjust it so a 2 or 3 hour only free car park will be provided for their patrons exclusively! That leads to problems with parking for the law courts as well as VPG, not to mention anyone using that car park who works on or uses Front Street! The derelict land at the side is to be built on with shop units and offices above as part of the overall deal. Don't think there was a petrol station mentioned in the planning application?

    As for the Netto deal that might have more to do with Netto wanting to be out of the UK and ASDA not wanting to see anyone else getting hold of their shop units? The strangest fit for me is the Argos deal, wonder what business model Wallmart have in mind for those?

    Straight from the horses mouth!

  4. If I wanted to buy a bag I would bluddy buy one! It get's on my t*ts that I am harangued at the check out every time I shop at Asda. Do they follow me round asking if I would like to buy this or that? NO! So don't ask me if I want to buy a sodding bag! And as for fore-thought, none required mate they supply free bags END OF!

  5. You will shortly have muppets with green signs pointing to an empty till. No problems then eh! Wonky :lol: :lol: Also 'Do you have your own bags?' 'Do you want to buy some, or would you like free ones?'

    Reply 'Errrrrrrrrr what the F*** do you think' :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Tesco might just pull their finger out now!

    Though on saying that found out today that Tesco are being held back by cooncil red tape for their planned expansion and that they do not own the car park. Another obstacle in their way is vulcan place garage(Practical) on where they will park their vehicles if Tesco aquire the site(Millne car park)they have a deal to park there, but the biggest stumbling block seems to be Greggs! Apparently they have a one hundred year lease on their property and are refusing to move even though Tesco have offered to incorperate a unit for them within Tesco's new shop! The derelict land at the side of Tesco was to be a petrol station more red tape from said cooncil. Also they have not applied for planning permission for a superstore on Coopies Lane.

    Back to netto's if there is to be an expansion by Asda then the only way is UP :D

  7. I disagree, of course it looks like in the end it all went tits up with this government, however the NHS is better, the wages are better, the standard of living for everyone went up, its all well and good looking at it now and saying , oooh, its all gone wrong. It did , but not just for us. Every other country except Australia has been hit, and blaming Gordon Brown for it all is up to you, but your just venting on the poor !*!@# who happened to be at the wheel when it all went off. John Major however did !*!@# all, as far as i am aware. His "Peoples Charter " anyone remember that ? No. This new lot, it doesnt matter who it was, the cuts are coming, so get ready cos its gonna be harsh, and for some more than others, as the tories will soon show you.

    Yes the working and non working class, we are about to be dumped on from a great height!
