Home and Bargain rocks when you want sweets and fizzy drinks.

Always buying cat litter from them too.

One just opened on penny lane shopping park with a netto.

Sorry but that's the nightmare scenario Phil.

I'd rather have Park Road/Kenny Road/Wavertree Rd lined with the premises of 24hour local or grocers, butchers and fishmongers, selling fresh food at about HALF the price of the corporates myself. And in case anyone thinks that's wishful thinking you want to research what's happening in my North London high street where the incumbant Turkish community actually COOK and demand groceries around the clock at rock bottom prices. I can get 5/6 full bags or two weeks worth of fruit and veg at 2pm or 2am for around £12-14. You just couldn't do that in Liverpool a bit to do with lack of demand too which is a real shame. You got the 'Tesco takeover' laying waste to vast tracts of urban high street and charging it's customers a premium to do so.

In Stoke Newington here, the only use most people have for our one supermarket (it's a Morrisons) is to spank it for tinned tomatoes.

I know Tesco are the Big Bad Giant.
I was just saying I prefer them to Somerfield or Kwik Save.

I started my working life in Southport in 1961 for John Irwin, Sons & Co. Ltd, and that was the exact time that Tesco took them over, thereby moving into the North West.

All the supermarkets conspire together to fix their prices, so, apart from "Special Offers", the prices are all about the same.

Most noticeable are their own branded "Value" lines.
And they all go up by the same amount at the same time!
For instance, tinned potatoes went from 19p to 26p. Everywhere.

For years, a cheap tin of corned beef was 39p.
The price has crept up to double that in about 12 months.

Unfortunately, the convenience stores are even more expensive.

**The Teardrop Explodes** · 12-12-2006

Aye.

Thing is for everything other that the canned and processed stuff our convenience stores are actually WAY cheaper than the supermarkets. I can only think it's because of the demand- turkish community etc.

Just one street away where their most of their customers are lazy-arse white middle-class "professionals" the Turkish grocers prices are double.

I'll accept you want a supermarket for things like household gear, biscuits and the tins as the those are the products that tend to be overpriced in the smaller shops.

Kelby Close, Park Road.

Earle Road, near Smithdown Road.

**The Teardrop Explodes** · 12-13-2006

good idea that. Been meaning to do a compilation of the ever more wacky stuff people adorn their houses with at Christmas.

Millenium madness was the one though. The stuff people erected in their gardens throughout Liverpool that 1999 Xmas got pretty mad. There was this amazing bigger-and-better decoration war all the way up Deverell Road. It demanded a photo compilation but alas I didn't have the means..Once only chance too...

When we used to walk home from town we wouldn't dare walk past Kelby Close for fear of being jumped.

walking home to Olive Mount from town after the Casa/Wherever and trying to do do it as fast and as safely as possible is an, ahem, "special" memory I keep with me...

I got followed a 3am once by these two wierd characters in a beaten up Vauxhall Estate (the vehicle!). Spooky as. 30 mins the ordeal lasted for me hiding in entries and jumpin into peoples gardens....grim

**Max** · 12-13-2006
