How very objective an arguement...
Of course you are right, as you have lived here years.. no sorry months..

we go to spinneys 2 or 3 times a week, but they sell the same 'branded' stuff you get back home, heinz etc etc for about 25% more, the fruit and veg is miles more and quite often not that good, so we get loads of stuff as it's nearby, I guess if you are happy to spend loads more on your shops for the same stuff you can get cheaper - then yeah, you're an idiot, and it doesn't matter how long I've been here, I've been to all the shops so I know what I'm talking about.

What we said were constructive arguements based on our opinions and what we know and have seen in other shops, what your post consisted of was nothing more than patronising bollocks.

why insult people that make a choice different to your own?
Because that is what it is - and not connected to the original point in question.
There was nothing constructive in your statements whatsoever. You just seem upset that someone doesn't agree with you.

spugs ive been to hyper panda on various occasions since it opened - I live very near to it, so its almost unavoidable.
On all the times I have been there, apart from a few bits, the lack of branded goods there is apparent (I popped in to get some veg at the weekend and usually have a quick look down the aisles).
So I find it difficult to see how like for like can be compared - as most of the branded food goods are just not there.
