Actually, if it is the new rebranded Morrison's, it will be alright.

Classy answer, but some with real class would have said
"Utter bollocks, old boy" in a nasal voice.

Yes, me, today....
I was talking to the Deputy Store manager at a Morrisons today, he said that they had been told before Christmas that the Stafford Morrisons has been sold to Waitrose, but that they still haven't had an official announcement.
With regards to people saying that it wound be the biggest Waitrose in the UK..... they can still split the store into 2 or 3 smaller units....

Which other forum is this?? Having a Morrison's adds nothing to the town Having a Waitrose adds choice, variety and quality - everything that Stafford folk would appreciate. It would also act as an excellent meeting point for the folk of Stafford to meet and greet each other as they grasp their free Waitrose Coffee as they exchange conversation with each other. This is something we have already established in the 'Odd Things in Stafford' thread that is sadly lacking in this town, apart from on this forum.

I know that I'm not alone when I say this, but not all of us have Waitrose money!

I agree. But Morrison's is too similar to Asda and Tesco.

Isn't M&S having a good sized food Hall? That'd be competition for a waitrose, and you can get deliveries from ocado in Stafford anyway which proper classy people do rather than sully themselves amongst the plebs.

That part wasn't my post, I was quoting @Moby Dick 's original post...& the Deputy Manager I spoke to wasn't from the Stone Morrisons....I got further than that on my travels yesterday.....
I'm not really sure how I feel about either Morrisons or Waitrose opening, at the moment Morrisons has a good offer on Gordon's Gin - 2 for £20 (other spirits are available) & Waitrose will just be another M & S for me, I'll occasionally pop in when I want the odd easy to cook treat tea, but I can't see it being part of my weekly/monthly shop...
