12:54.14 | Leeds | so the supermarket directly next door to my place has a few Waitrose own-brand things... the bigger posher branch - same company, different brand - a few minutes walk away has quite a lot of Waitrose stuff... |
12:54.27 | Leeds | I have two M&S food stores within about 15 minutes walk |
12:54.58 | Leeds | and there's a new shop just opened, across the road from the posh supermarket, which is about 1/3 Tesco own-brand stuff |
12:55.56 | ChoHag | I found an M&S and a Clarks in the middle of Kiev. |
12:55.58 | ChoHag | No Tesco yet. |
12:56.56 | Leeds | some of the Tesco stuff in the new shop is Polish |
12:59.18 | Leeds | there are a few Clarks stores around here... it's odd what British brands survived the colonial times - for example, Horlicks and Ovaltine, even Ribena, are really really common in the most local of local cafes here |
12:59.23 | ChoHag | Some of the Tesco stuff in Tesco is Polish. |
12:59.41 | Leeds | right, so Tesco UK are apparently selling some of their Polish stuff to HK :) |
13:19.35 | gregj | :-) |
13:21.52 | yaMatt | the M&S stuff in HK was pretty expensive I seem to remember |
13:22.19 | yaMatt | compared to UK |
13:22.25 | yaMatt | but I suppose maybe that's equalled out now |
13:26.19 | Leeds | it's a bit expensive, yeah - although they have dropped some prices since BREXPOCALYPSE |
