Thanks Not Spaghetti- whose got no sense who 'sets' the auto picker up then?? -I could not do the choosing job- id have to actually use my common sense instead to pick actual real subs for a customer that made sense!!
Aren't PG tips and Yorkshire produced by the same company? Had this mentioned to me a while back and started looking at supermarket shelf labels. Several showing PG Tips had in very small print Yorkshire Tea and vice versa. I buy whichever one is on offer.
I get my wine from Laithwaites now. It is really good. Not as cheap as Sainsbury’s or Aldi but still reasonably priced for someone who is not very knowledgable but enjoys nice wine. It is my only vice?
For the wine try your local Majestic store That is, if you have one within 50 miles! If you're stopped reroute could you claim that wine is an essential or non-essential item?
Did you tick that you would take substitutes? I can’t believe they are out of stock of all tea and wine. Meanwhile I had a tea hamper sent me with enough tea for a lifetime. Wish I could send you some.
I'm just about to do my Tesco order for collection tomorrow, I wonder what will be available! I might have to be flexible with my meal plans for the week.
Interesting 4allweknow- ill look if i go in a shop next time- i think yorkshire tea must be made from the 'rejects' of the leaves of the PG then.Even son agrees- yorkshire tea is not as good.(personally i buy PG tea granules & just buy PG teabags for son only) & youngest son only drinks fizzy pop& occasionally water! Be a calamity indeed in our house if theres a shortage of fizzy pop!
I hate Yorkshire tea too, people assume that if you’re a Yorkshire lass you must like the stuff. However, Taylor’s make other teas, some are so great I buy mine by the kg sack. Current fave is China Rose Petal.
Thats the problem with these 'auto' pickers though- they need re-assessing as they don't just choose just another brand of an item- they choose nonsense items instead! Surely the stores could allow a certain amount of common sense to be used by the actual human doing the selecting instead in that case!?Maybe they would get less complaints then.
Kittylester, you have all my sympathy, running out of PG tips, I wouldn't be too worried about the wine. Last week they were on offer in Iceland so must have run down their stocks. Hope you get some new supplies, Yorkshire is a good alternative if not a better cuppa, IMO!
