I was there yesterday and as the snow flies outside this morning I'll take time to note my…read moreannoyance at those who run this place. Their greed makes them impervious to sensibility, constructive criticism and public health. Firstly, very few shops are open in here now as the drive to suppress Wu flu is in overdrive. Interestingly, last March here, we couldn't much see what all the fuss was over, but now it's hit very hard here and killing far too many people. Despite all the efforts at suppressing Wu flu they have maintained parking charges for most of the pandemic and still do - causing customers to touch a machine on entry and touch a machine to pay the ticket price. Worse still there's some and certainly not enough disabled parking along the riverside but they've locked the doors forcing disabled drivers to enter and pay at their car park. Disgusting really. The supermarkets too have locked their trolleys, so you have to put a £1 coin in and out at the end. But all this touching is avoidable. I understand that when trolleys are free to use they are often just abandoned and not returned to their bays, causing a nuisance for the stores, but car park charging is just plain greed. The only surprise for me is that those running this place are impervious to customer criticism and their greed trumps the health and wellbeing of their customers. Emetic actually.

Gotta hand it to this guy; I think he's a builder with a lot of liquidity and he's turned this…read moreplace into a very busy, well stocked mega mart with everything from a Himalayan salt dry-aged steak to fresh cream cake to a bag of coal. It's always busy. They do serve take-out lunches daily and the queues for Sunday lunch around £8 is always long. It brings a lot of employment locally. The car parking is free, the prices at the fuel station are competitive and their off licence has a great range of booze. I go chiefly for their black pepper sauce as it's a great base for me to add my own double cream and cognac when I cook fillet steak. One thing customers need to be mindful of is the heavily discounted products, while many are cheap their sell - by dates are often up and you could be buying something that tastes awful especially diet drinks and crisps that go rancid very fast. They make their own fresh 2 ounce steak burgers about £1 each in the butchery section. They are very good, but for me I still prefer my M&S 5% Aberdeen Angus minced beef for my own beef burgers. He still hasn't installed EV chargers so one has to go across the road to the Damolly Retail Park for that. Oh, speaking of EV charging, it made me laugh to see the Orange buffoon overturn the dignity of the White House to change it into a car showroom for the Muskrat's Swasticar - next they'll both be in a movie The Fast and the Führer. It's a funny old world.
