    Booth's prices are similar, if not higher. I do - or did - enjoy shopping there.

    I'd never been in a Waitrose until last summer when i stopped at the one in Abergavenny on the way home from the Four Fans.... can't say i was overly impressed.

    Booths on the other hand seem to have some great food.

    Was in Tebay Services yesterday, the food in the Farm shop is absolutely gorgeous (if very expensive)

    I shopped at morrisons for years, but eventually got bored with poor quality, verbal abuse, and getting ID'd for beer at the age of 32. Since switching to Waitrose i have saved money and got the following for free:

    4 cans of Neck Oil
    320g of chicken breast

    That's a lot better than getting shreiked at by old biddies in morrisons.

    The legal age in New Orleans is 21 and not too many years ago a waitress in a bar, who looked around 18, insisted on seeing my ID.

    I was kinda flattered.

    Local knowledge If you stop for a meal or to buy petrol/diesel. go to Tebay Junction 38 Truck Stop. It's also run by Westmorland who opeateTebay Services. Meals are nearly half price, twice the portion size, and there's a little shop selling some of the things you get in the tourists ones up the road. Cheapest fuel in the region. All welcome, not just truckers. Knowing 'how to live' we regularly have an evening meal there, after a run, walk or horse ride on t'fells F-n-Cips, Omelettes, etc. cooked to order - what's not to like. Just remember they close on a weekend evening.

    Happy New Year to you too - and to everyone else who occasionally frequents this dusty corner of the Internet. All the very best for 2022, I hope it's a better year for us all.
