Something has happened to me that I never imagined would happen in a million years.
I've become obsessed by Morrisons.
I once wrote a post about how awful it was (which I can't find), but suffice to say, even though the staff remain mentally subnormal, glued to their mobile phones and supremely unhelpful if they actually understand what your saying at all, the store's range is phenomenal.
You can get everything. Today, I set them a challenge. I wanted a potato ricer, having seen one in Heals for about £20. I mocked, I poo-pooed, I doubted. But there it was, among the (quite good quality) cookware, a snip at under a fiver. They've come up trumps again. Who'd believe it?
Their food storage ware is fantastic, their laughingly named 'foods of the world' section really does contain foods of the world, and even their car section is comprehensive. I believe their fish is the talk of north London too.
But they do fall down on their fruit and veg. Not that it's poor quality - I've bought a swede to rice later - but it's so bleak. It's all in the presentation and it doesn't cut it. It's too minimal. Supermarkets aren't about minimal. Perhaps it's the yellow colour of their livery. It's chilly, but at least it's not Somerfield ice blue or Asda Wandsworth Borough Council green.
This fad will of course pass, but for now, I'm enjoying discovering how good it is. And of course how cheap it is too.
