For those that have a local co-op

[Shooms]

Shooms highly recommends the Co-Op Mango & Chili dressing which is currently on offer 2 bottles for 2 quid...

This marvelous tastebud tantaliser is both sweet n FUCKIN hot... a bed of sweet leaf, a piece of George Formby griddled meat or fish n then this nectar of the gods drizzled liberally over the top.... fuckin lush

Go n get some n say Shooms sent you

Can i just say, slightly off topic here, that after much fucking bigging up from yourself i made Jonno do a 30 mile detour trip to Waitrose a few weeks ago whilst on a trip back from Kent (ish)- lol thats like 'cuntish'. That place, maaan is it expensive- they were selling some boxes of choc's straight off the shelf with no tags or owt for £20 a box! We spent 3 ten spots and only got a few bits, have to say tho- their own brand EV olive oil is lush as fuck on salad.

Waitrose own brand flavoured water is fuckin ace - especially Strawb - pisses over Volvic...

The deli counter is ace - parma hams, saucisson, chorizo n all that lovely pig stuff Top tip here.... ask em to price you up the 'ends' - coz when they reach the final 4 inches or so they start a new one... ends work out dirt cheap

For rich lazy feckers (like me) the ready meals are up there with Marks n Sparks

Best of all you get amazing fit & foreign totty shopping there

Next time you're up grim north you should try a Booths, i love Booths- tis all local produce and excellent at that. You can also try before you buy as much as you like without them thinking you is robbing pikey scum- its ace for a free lunch.

[nowthen]

my local co-ops shite, its always full of grannies paying with handfulls of money-off vouchers and scrotes putting a quid each on 15 different payment cards, never has more than one numbnut behind the counter, so the q is always half way round the shop....

...end up shoplifting in there by accident, not because i don't wanna pay for it (usually only a paper anyway)...just lose me rag after standing there for 10 mins to pay 35p.

likin the sound of that Local, non-mass produced stuff is always preferential especially if free

feel yer pain mate

one night after coming back from manc got back to portsmouth at stupid o'clock in the morning... only to find my leccy was out... went round the only 24 hour shop to get me leccy key sorted.... huge queue & when I eventually got to the front the horrible lil scrote said that I had to pay cash not card for leccy n the cashpoint was 5 mins down the road

When I came back I was fuming so before I queued up (again) I went round popping shit loads of crisp bags & stuffed a load of choc bars I didn't even want up me sleeve just to get even with the twat..

Waitrose is the nadgers. Fact. When you crave yummy decadent desserts, look no further than the fridges in Waitrose (even the frozen desserts are ace)...

I'm with The Shooms on the ready meals n'all... In fact I'd go further n say they piss all ower Marksies IMHO...

Lambshanks w/redcurrant sauce.... mmmmmm....



Have to say I'm not a fan of the co-op... except for those times when only tinned hotdogs (4p a tin) will do...

[simzzzz]

erm my co-op is like a mecca for Chavs ! they all stand outside it on those little shitty motorbikes, propper shite hole from hell. Anyone heard of the Poolway shopping centre in Brum ? Avoid it at all costs

[JORDAN]

all my local co-ops are a bag of wnk
once you enter you are guarenteed
a very long wait and a total head fk
there is always only one check out
open resulting in massive ques
and then theres the ppl what
prolong your wait even more by
paying with cards
oh and lets not forget about o.a.p.s. revenge
(o.a.p.s. revenge is when an oap stops dead in front
of you and you nearly knock them over, or
a group of them concregate at the top
of an aisle thus blocking it off etc)

No CO-OPs left up my way, But after a hearty meal like the 1 you had you need something to wash it down with, Just recently ave been drinking Pomagrate(concentrated pomaganite juice) with a splash of Vodka, Am not big on alcohol but you can hardly taste the Vodi!!!!

By far and away the worlds worst co op is the one on Oxford Road oppositte where I used to live in MCR city centre. If its not full of scum outside asking for "change because my cars just ran out of petrol" its FULL of students walking round the store thinking its 'hilarious' to point out stuff on the shelves and say "I want that one" (a la Little Britain)
Then you stand behind 10 of them in the cue while EACH ONE pays on Switch and EACH ONE asks for cash back.

lol... kids today eh... i don't remember students being such c*nts when i was one...
