You cannot have cheap prices and great service, as one has to give and this is why ED went under as they were working on very low margins.

Hmmm a real pity i knew jaz and madan (directors) when i used to sell to them they were some of the best customers who never bull****ted about being busy or quiet.
But on a rather strange note i saw this bill board last tuesday in huddersfield

Asked girl behind counter about when got to front of que , and she said they shop at aldi and put it in m & s bags so neighbours don't look down at them
