Paul1Perth Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I have, and I can happily confirm your ability to rubbish the UK in each and every one of them, using the most perfect spelling, punctuation and grammar. It's an easy target though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mallam Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 It's an easy target though. So is Oz if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I support my local community as much as possible and shop at the local butchers, fruit and veg shop, Bakers, IGA, Newsagent etc. I go to the local markets and if I need work doing at my house I always use a local tradesperson from the ads in the community newspaper. I strongly believe that you have to invest in your local community, and it doesnt always mean that you are paying more. My local IGA compares costwise very favourably with the BIG 2, and I can shop anytime 7 days a week from 8 till 8. Working fulltime with a long commute either end of the day, I am often not around when the BIG2 are open, and this was what led me to look at shopping elsewhere when I had the time. I encourage everyone to look at the alternatives to one-stop shopping at the BIG2. Australia can't afford to have a Tesco/Sainsbury mentality where all you can get is home brand produce and very substandard meat, fruit and veg at inflated prices. Keeping money in a local community benefits everyone and we are all winners, not just the shareholders of Coles and Woollies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest37175 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Guys please - this is a thread on shopping - not trolley wars at 100 paces. Send PM's to each other if you want to do this. Please don't hijack the thread. Sorry Newjez, we were just having a laugh, but sorry to take it off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
