So I've heard.
They seem to be building everything, which is useful
there is already a waitrose in harrogate.
:yes:
Don't know anything about Peterborough but ours was the biggest in (thought it was Europe, but might just have been U.K.) when it opened about a year ago.

ETA: It is the biggest in Europe.

And we have the biggest Asda in Europe at home too </random>
Judging by the half pounder burger I bought and cooked today it must be pretty damn good.
I used a george foreman grill which collects the dripping fat and there was almost no fat at all in the burger, most burgers shrink bigtime as the fat heats up and turns to liquid and drains away and I usually need two trays to collect all the fat, , this one stayed the same size, with virtually no fat at all in it..
I've tried cooking a lot of burgers in that thing to see how they come out, nothing ever came out quite like this. And also no tiny pieces of bone or cartilage either like you get in some burgers.
I'm really plesently surprised .. shame our local waitrose is a bit out of the way.
well, exactly.
some of us can't afford to shop in the "ethical" shops, but that doesn't mean we agree with exploitation of workers, farmers and so on.
anyways its nice to see a site with people being able to chat about anything like this and i hope to get to know some of you a little more

Welcome to the site
When you say can't afford to sho there do you mean for their own brand products or national brands?
For instance if the Waitrose burgers are less fatty and therefore after cooking there is actually more on the plate to eat then other makes I may shop there
BUT if I want a packet of Kellogs conrnflakes, Bird Eye Fish Fingers, etc (i.e. those nationals brands) then it doesn't matter if it's Lidl, Sainbury's Tesco, etc from my point of view.
I can only see myself shopping at waitrose or even M&S for a special meal, where maybe it's for a special occassion but day to day I think it's an expensive place to shop.
It can be, I normally buy my cheese elsewhere for example because you can get good deals in Morisons or Tesco.
But all the other supermarkets are going so quickly down hill in terms of their ethics I feel bad shopping anywhere else, Tesco in particular.

Coming from somone who's never been further north than south Nottingham. I'm such a southern boy.
South Nottingham is already considerably in The North.
there are always things going on that need sorting with them, yes they do free up staff but also they mean the staff no longer used canbe doing other things like stocking shelves or whatever they do in a supermarket
also means in busy periods more customers can be served. therefore more money to pay the staff anyway
There's one in Otley, which is already technically Leeds.
*works for Co-op*
They are ethically good with fairtrade, but not with much British, eg Milk. They screw farmers over big time on that.
