That'll be higher than Tesco then will it?....................

.......or are you making an incredible sweeping statement about thousands of people you know nothing about?

Asda is my closest supermarket so I use it...I don't think my social/economic profile has a lot to do with it. ..of course others that know me might disagree

I have mixed feelings on this one. if the products are locally produced, part of the indigent diet, bred for food, sustainable, is there a problem?

many areas of the world find those of us that eat either pork or beef are eating something unnacceptable.

OK, turtles are endangered and perhaps resources should be utilised in increasing wild stock, but at least if they are bred for food then there is no need to catch them from the sea so the wild ones are a little bit safer.

Monkfish is OK if caught from a very specific part of the NE Atlantic - otherwise unsustainable.....

I think with regard to the turtles, it's the fact that they are sold live that people have a problem with. I know I do.

The last time I was in ADSA, there was 2 ladies of ill repute there trying (and failing) to shoplift a dress and a bottle of Thundebird. Classy

Kirstie and I deny everything

Whatever the reason, well done Asda.

What about lobsters that are sold live?

Hmmm..... I'll have that one.

I don't really see any difference.

I sure did make an incredible sweeping statement
Shocking behaviour, I know, my bad? :-)

Funny though and as I said I was trying not to be cynical and I also said that it could be not is.

Anybody work in marketing?

ASDA seems less Posh than Tesco around these parts....

I thought someone might bring up this point.

There is no difference really. But that I won't buy live lobster, or eat it live from a resturant.
