A ridiculously overpriced store. A good thing they’re going under. If only the same thing can happen to fucking Debenhams. Why are you clinging onto the hackneyed image of the British High Street?

Yup, good to look around too. HoF is dull as fuck with terrible, shiny, plastic decor, an upmarket version of M&S which really needs to go the wall. In fact, shut the clothing area and put up 200 extra food stores instead.

M&S food is awesome. The ready meals are out of this world. Its like someone has cooked it with real food and not congealed slush.

And Waitrose. Asda used to have a good own brand premium quality selection but that's gone downhill. Aldi actually have good frozen food as does The Food WareHouse By IceLand. Quite impressed by their offering.

Have they got an upmarket - not that you can go any lower market - offshoot now?

Do they refuse to serve you if you're in your jammies or something?

Theyve really upped their game recently, has Iceland. You can buy lobsters and all sorts in there now.

Their customer base is still single mum scum though, so I'm not sure why they bothered, little Jayden doesnt want lobster bisque, he wants turkey twizzlers so he can grow up big and strong to burgle houses.

I have to agree with M+S food being lush, I go there once every two months and you can easily spend £40 for a mere basket, let alone what you would pay for a cartful but very high quality. Their food always sells and it's the clothing that suffers, perhaps just getting more food stores?
