Then around 1974/5 they heard tales of this place called ASDA in Accrington, near to the Railway Station that sold giant pots of Prize Yoghurt.
Now the only local butcher and Greengrocer I have near to me are the supermarkets.
So my Mum could be to blame for the power of ASDA/Walmart and Tesco.
You could be right Daz h

This was a small village. All now have closed up many years ago due to the supermarkets and the fact that cars are used/internet shopping. It has destroyed the heart of the community.:(
I blame everyone UNDER 45 for not noticing what a cock up the over 45's were making and doing something about it. Why don't students revolt any more??
Conway for PM!!!!;)
