From Hargreaves Lansdown - Research Update.

Harry - whereabouts are you in Norfolk?

Moved here as a kid as dad was posted to the local RAF station at Watton.

At midday HL had their sell/buy ratios on the SuperMarkets as :-

SBRY 2.48% - 97.52%
MWR 3.08% - 96.92%
TSCO 0.86% - 99.14%

Don't want to disappoint anybody but our supermarkets are complete crap compared to the french ones !.

Waitrose here is seriously overpriced and no better in quality than our local SBRY, just shows how they must vary regionally.

agreed, rf!!

cynic - I take it if you have not been in a Morrisons before, you certainty have not been in an Aldi or Lidl yet!! LOL!

regardless of today's blip full confidence in my buys here today

tescos as a shop i do not rate - well not the ones i've been in - they are more like warehouses - the staff imo are too young and inexperienced and dont seem to give a darn et cetera - prefer waitrose particulary at canary wharf, m&s, sainsbury and morrisons - attitude of staff and better all round quality of sevice and offers/ goods particulary deli counter, butcher etc

perversely still bought tsco as at this sp be rude not too lol!!!

interesting nice 100,000 buy just flew through!

That was me.. and it was a sell -):

waitrose just sells the same food as sains but for more money check the stockist .

if you want the best go to M/S or sains

i would say that is correct - waitrose i tend to use the most at CW - just for convenience more than anything - and probably a bit better than there normal stores as CW is their flagship store - i do go to m&s - tesco can not compare in all honesty

Cook your own food.....the precooked stuff is a recipe for a hotair balloon party all night !.

Have you considered using your local small shop for some guilty/wholesome food for a change if you mainly use the Slappermarkets now?.. or are you all lardo's

having now had a good look at update it is well over sold

.

rf 244 lol - and yep cook my own when i am able just dont get much spare time

It's not a person, it's a group of people.. A rather large group.
