Random Irritations

Thirty five minutes to get into Waitrose (and we had gone before it officially opened) and chaos trying to get our pre-ordered turkey. Why have designated time slots if you're going to simply dish them up on a first come scrummage system. Another 25 minutes to get out the car park. Won't be going down the pre-ordered route next year and HID has been told it's not an option. I even gave up golf to help with those last minute "bits" that HID seemed to think make a huge difference and which I feel are totally unnecessary

Stick with your local butcher, you'll get a much better piece of meat than waitrose, and you'll be looked after.
 
Sadly we don't have a "local" butcher. There is one on Ascot High Street not far from the club but that's probably the nearest old fashioned butcher we have left.

I'd make it my business to find a local butchers, even if it meant a 20 minute drive or so to somewhere.

Be arsed paying extortionate prices for over priced food from waitrose and the likes.

I agree. The one in Ascot High Street has a decent reputation and have been there for decades. I would like to use them more often and indeed the monthly farmers market at the race course but HID isn't so keen. I'll keep working on it as I definitely agree the quality is far superior

My “local” butcher is about a 30min drive but it’s well worth it as they have their own farm
.It’s not too badly priced but the quality and taste of the meat is so much better
 
Yodel, just why are they allowed to continue trading? A more useless bunch I am yet to encounter (and that includes DHL).

If I had known they were the couriers for what I bought then I wouldn't have bothered.

An item I wanted to get for my son's Christ was out if stock until Friday just passed, so ordered it straight away on next working day delivery (and paid a pretty penny for it). Lo and behold, this morning, tracking update from none other than Yodel, your item is at your local depot, Delivery Thursday 27th December!!!

Useless.
