The Gatherin' of the Grocers
A rather worrying BBC headline about Sainsbury's Starts a Ground Offensive which you can read here drawn to Huttonian's attention by a regular bloggee is, on closer examination not about the Grocer forcing his wares on Gaza with Israeli military support but to do with turf wars in Kelso.
I hope Tesco wins the day in Kelso and drives out the marauders from Sainsbury's. Not because I carry a candle for the ambitious and ruthless Mr T. Quite the reverse.
Its a case of FIKTD.
Yes, Perceptive from Paxton : Failed in Kelso Try Duns. You are very welcome here. The old High School, now surplus to requirements is just the site for you.

I was chuffed when Sainsbury opened at Alnwick only to discover that they had a scaled-down-for-the-provinces version which made even Morrison's seem exciting.It would save money doing the monthly Tesco run if they moved into our area which has so long suffered from dreary downmarket supermarkets.It is also ironic that the area produces some great food which can only be bought at the monthly farmers' market or at a couple of megaposh restaurants down south. Moreover some stuff is sold in prepacked quantities which leads to waste unless you have 4 or more folk to cater for. At least Duns has a REAL greengrocer.
Let's hope Tesco take heed of the dreaded Hugh and cleans up their chicken act. In order to get a decent fowl I have to go across past Selkirk where the organic chickens lead an idyllically chicken life in glorious scenery.
