The 'I love Asda' thread!!!!!
 
Just wanted to say I've just been down my local Asda and picked up some gorgeous (and reasonably priced) healthy, additive free, unadulterated food.

Lovely fresh fish counter, yummy deli, fresh fruit and veg (English strawberries just starting to appear yum!), freshly made cream cakes and of course a vast selection of wines and beers from around the world.

The staff were both charming and highly intelligent, I cannot fault the place at all.

Anyway just my two penneth - going out now to enjoy the lovely early summer sunshine we are experiencing, bye for now!

If I'm totally honest I started this thread as a bit of a 'tongue in cheek' reaction to some derogatory comments about the place and it's staff on another thread - a little silly really I know:o - just ignore me!!

Yes he/she is a very strange sort, not quite sure of his/her motivation for posting on this forum :confused:- and yes M&S food is THE best - they've got lots of new picnic ranges in at the mo - things like Greek pastry parcels filled with with feta cheese, assorted Spanish tapas, big juicy marinated olives - things you can just grab, stuff in a cool box and off you go!!
