Yes it is not the greatest in the world - seems to be so many tescos around and not much else really !!!
Now kwik save has all but closed on ball hill and somerfields on binley road is now knocked down has meant i have been wandering around quite a few of the local shops to find goods....may take longer but have found a greater variety of goods that i would not normally have tried and the prices are not always more expensive than tescos etc as perceived...ok so i still do an on line big tescos shop each month to stock up on big bulk but that is purely laziness as no need to really as amazing amount of goods available locally - plus you get to speak to people in your local area and exercise by walking and carrying goods home !!
local shopping with local businesses - win win me thinks!!
