Don't forget the truly dreadful convenience store this Tesco replaced...
I went in their about three years ago to buy a newspaper early one Sunday morning to find both assistants drunk (I hope from partying the night before and not slugging it back at 8am on a Sunday!).
The convenience store that closed (Macenzies???) a few doors along had friendly enough staff but the place was very pokey and grubby.
Sainsbury's has really sorted out these old-fashioned "mini-supermarkets" and I,for one, am not nostalgic about them at all - they were hardly the "Olde Village Shoppee"
I agree that Waitrose has mixed a trick here -this is prime Waitroseland after all but I celebrate the fact that the Earlsfield "High-Street" is a lot cleaner and less down-market than it once was....estate agents notwithstanding ...The rebuilt Tara Arts Theatre is outstanding!!!
