Let's mock the disappointment that causes the closure of a supermarket but god forbid we mock the legitimate drama that is the closure of a pub...

I will miss it. The delicious roast chickens they make saves me cooking that evening which is a god sent as I have enough on my plate (despite my horrendous middle-classness). I rate their fine wines section. They stock Jackson's white bread which is yummy (others dont). They sell bone marrow which has many good properties (others dont).

I dont rate their coffee though. The best coffee is in my opinion at Brother Marcus or Brickwood.

I have heard they are putting a car dealership where poundland was. Is this true? Let's hope it is up to Talkman's standards...

Talkman...you seem to know Waitrose quite well?

As for co-ordinating picnic essentials, well I’d simply be lost. And don’t even get me started on the free coffee. I literally hyperventilated with relief when I saw it’s just having a refurbishment. It’d be even better if they could expand the store by getting rid of the library, I mean let’s face it. Waitrose do sell books. Surely it’s a no brainer.
