I have a feeling he prefers Co-op and gets a little cheesed off if you mention another type of supermarket. Best to keep it quiet

In my wee town we used to have Willie Lows (remember them!?), then it became a Tesco, then Tesco left town (must be bad if Tesco pulls out!) and it became the Co-op...or as they call it where I come fae, the 'Copey'.

Might be. Give me a list and I'll check it out. Our primary import partners are: China (15.4%), USA (12%), Japan (9.1%), Singapore (7%), Germany (5%), Thailand (4.5%), UK (4.3%) and Malaysia (4.1%) which doesn't leave a lot of room for 3rd world food exporters, but you never know.

A trip to Wales was not a trip to Wales until you'd popped into a Spar.

Nothing like waking up on a cold morning in the passenger seat of a car and seeing the red and white to know you'd crossed the border.

Growing up I always liked the Co-op, a supermarket with a conscience. I remember they were selling fairtrade chocolate and coffee, and biodegradable plastics bags years before the rest of its competitors.

Does anyone else have similar fond memories?

Oh yeah, would love to have them here.
