  2. For several months now, I have seen a noticeable drop in quality and supply of fresh stuff and an increase in prices overall. Quite often I find popular things out of stock, and some that are OOD or close to expiry dates. When a store runs out of bread by midday, something is wrong. There seems to be poor stock rotation, staff seem to be all consumed with unloading cages and pallets on the shop floor all day when surely this be an overnight re-stock process. It feels to me like the company is operating on extremely fine margins. Staff levels have declined and those that are on the self checkouts or doing click and collect seem over-run and struggling to manage. After a bit of online searching it seem like the Issa brothers took on an already struggling enterprise expecting to turn it around but now seem to be running on empty and treating Asda more as a corner shop for the masses but with less respect for the customer. It appears they have separated the fuel stations and brought them under their umbrella which is how they made their wealth, owning multiple fuel stations and convenience stores. It seems they aren't really that concerned about the Asda brand but more about the petrol station aspect where bigger profits can be made. Unfortunately Asda and fuel are linked, obviously but something is not right with the supermarket aspect. Issa brother ‘eyes sale’ of Asda stake to focus on petrol station business | Asda | The Guardian It still remains one of the "big four" for now but I do wonder if it will go the way of Woolworth's or Wilkinson's but for different reasons. I can see them selling out to Tesco or similar in the future.
  3. I hadn't seen or heard the statement until the radio news just now. Having heard, I now understand and FWIW agree with you. I'm not an idiot.
  4. Sorry, what/who are you referring to? Sunak?
  5. Have I missed something? Or misunderstood @filthyfox post?
  6. Why do you think this and where are the figures to support it? Or is just another of your unfounded knee-jerk statements?
  7. Sorry for the dog losing it's life. You say good temperament and many must present the same characteristics, but how do you know that dog would not randomly attack, as so many seem to? As I'm sure you know, the legislation is a result of XL Bully attacks, some resulting in deaths.

  9. Wordle 986 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 After looking at previous posters attempts, I didn't expect a 3.
  10. Yeah, I didn't understand that either.
  11. I'm struggling to understand this.
  12. Just watched Rick Stein in Leicester and he went to what looked like a shack serving various street foods but we couldn't work out where it is. Did anyone else see it that knows it's location? He also went to Bobby's. It looked excellent and we're thinking of going. Any opinions, folks? Maybe @Raj, you have been?

  15. Most likely they will and she may well have MH issues. If so, why wasn't she flagged up with social services? If her MH was known to the professionals surely the hospital where she gave birth must have known and made some kind of referral?
  16. The local foodbank that I volunteer for has a Ford transit van supplied originally by Payne's of Hinckley at a small discount as it has their name on it. The other day we couldn't unlock it and it turned out that the battery was flat. The AA came out and got it started but diagnosed a knackered battery. It got to Payne's eventually. They agreed that the battery needed replacing. They fitted a new Ford battery in just over half an hour. They charged labour for 1 hour plus the battery. Total cost? Nearly £400 !!!
