This might not be one of the biggies but I think ;

That supermarkets own brand tins of food are great value but they only sell them to look like they're doing something .

Reason ;

Every single one I've ever tried to open never has with the first try , it always goes half way then just pushes the metal down and I end up having to try to use a knife to join up the holes and end up with baked beans all over the floor or a knife in my hand ....

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

The only problem I have with some low price basics is they tend to have more liquid in them. Beans and tinned rice are the biggest offenders. I reckon its worth paying more for the better stuff, but not so much as premium brands (as they are usually the same but with a different label).

Now if the OP is going for a 'ring pull on all food cans' campaign I am bang along side that. So much easier!

Aldi is the best shop for that, although their tomato soup has far too much sugar in it. So does Heinz in my opinion so probably more my tastes than the fault of the brand.

I'm hooked on Lidl..... it's closer than my nearest Aldi... but those rotters Tesco have just built a giant shop right next to my Lidl, so I fear it might close soon and I'll be gutted if it does......

WTF they doing with that Tesco Sox? They appear to have knocked down all those empty units and built new units exactly the same size in there place?

(but with wooden bits on)

Anyhoo Tesco will destroy everything in it's path so say bye bye to your Lidl old friend.

They say that if large corporations were people then they would be diagnosed as psychopaths because of the way they act. IMO Tesco is the maddest fucker in town!

Horrid ain’t it….!.

I see they’ve even strategically placed a Giant Tesco sign on the building so it unavoidably captures your eyesight as you cross Monkwearmoth Bridge..

I simply can’t forgive Tesco for knocking down the Mecca Bowling Ally and the Mayfair Ballroom, I loved that place….

Yeah it was sad to see them go. I used to go to Gen's every week when I was a kid. Plus that bowling alley car park was very convenient for fumbles in the dark.

Yes of course you are correct, i used to work as a baker yrs ago and the EXACT same bread goes into the plain white wrapping as the fancy 'brand' ones.

There's been a Tesco next door to Lidl near us for years, they appear to be co-habiting quite nicely
