Ouch. Although the scary thing is the easter stuff will probably be out before the month ends..

And out of interest, is safeway and wollworths the same shop (except name of cource) in the UK as well? or is it something different?

[Steve]

safeway is a big supermarket - food only, out of town

woolworths is big shop that sells all sorts of stuff, clothes, cd's, games, toys, household stuff etc - highstreet

Woolworths acts as a great Chav-O-Meter in any town.
The size, prominence and busyness of it gives clues as to the class of a population concentration.

In a really scummy town Woolworths will be huge, filled with people buying all the latest gear from there and keeping look out while their mates steal sweetes (candy) from the pick and mix tubs.
In a high class, crime free town Woolies either doesnt exist or coughs embarrased when you walk past with your M&S bags.

Safeways is the countries worst supermarket anyway an I thought someone good had bought it out already?

Anyway, any good deals on fairy lights?

[Steve]

yeah Morrisons bought out Safeway,
currently our Safeway is still called Safeway but sells Morrsons branded food.
and because of the monopolies thingy, it is going to be a Waitrose (ooo posh).

safeways was ok IMO, better tham somerfield and morrisons, and a whoel lot cheaper than sainsburys.

anyway i prefer ASDA but there isn't one close.



also i'll just use last years decorations
