I'm up to £14 & I only pop in there for bits n bobs.My local Co-op is great for reduced to clear bung it in the freezer meat.👍 I became a member at 16 and had my first divvy card, Dad can remember his mum's divvy number from the 50's! Can still remember my Mum's Co-op number from when I used to get sent to the shops in Halfway Street around 1965 or 1966, 343430.

I can't remember where I read it (I read a lot of journals) but I think studies have concluded that sharing your biscuits with other people indicates some sort of unusual and rather complex psychological condition. We share bunches of bananas, bags of apples, tubs of chocolates (hero's quality street etc) home made brownies and flap jack along with fruit cakes, ginger cake's and other assorted pastries and comestibles. We also have pasty Friday were we take it in turns to provide a nutritious and filling Ginsters delight. God knows where that puts us in that study??!! And there's me thinking it was good to share and care!

I can't remember the exact terminology used but I think it was biased towards the positive side of human behaviour.

I dislike the £4 off £40 type cons. What happens if I don't want to spend £40? Do I have to buy a fee extra items just so I can save the £4? Surely that doesn't make sense. It a bit like the "bugger off" type offers where you get another one of something you only wanted one of. I'd be happy to have the free one if it existed but it doesnn't. I only came in to buy one so why should I be carrying two back to the yot?. what a Con. At the beginning It was doing 6 of 60 etc. But we all moaned now they should be pretty much tailored to your shopping habits. I don't get them as I never spend that much. We are seeing a lot of xx amount of your shopping regardless of what you spend which is very good. You don't have to use them. When I say to a customer that you can have a another one free and they reply like You, that they don't want it. I try to encourage them to get it and give it to someone who needs it or even the first person they see outside and make their day. If there was a donations to the food bank box available like in Tesco then the customers could put the free one in there.

That coke snorting knob that was in charge and sold the group up the river with the financial collapse wants his arse kicking, the dividend has been pants for age's Tell me about it we were an hour away from having no business. We were Britain's biggest farmers. Gone Great pharmacy. Gone Travel. Gone Bank gone. Bonus gone. Our cash in transit service was ours and we owned all the cash points. Gone. Big stores. Going. Little stores gone. All because of that idiot. However as a business i am proud that we were the only failed bank to bail ourselves out without taxpayers money. We achieved our mission of being uks no. 1 convenience store and we still give so much to charity and do so much over dead. It's bee hard but were building again. I'm led to believe dividends maybe on the cards for next year.

I'm led to believe dividends maybe on the cards for next year. My favourite Co-op story was my dad in 1992, I had not long moved in with him and had a major aversion to doing the washing up - I'd happily use every bit of crockery and cutlery in the house rather than wash up as we went along..... Anyway, Dad needed a new pair of shoes, he decided to head into our nearest biggest town of Wellingborough to get some new footwear. Parking in the multistorey car park of the Arndale Center meant he had to walk past the huge Co-Op - subconsciously he must have been thinking about me being such a lazy shit around the house and came away having ordered a new Fridge, Freezer and Dishwasher but forgot to buy a new pair of shoes Incidentally, the Beko fridge lasted 17 years, the Indesit dishwasher just shy of 20 years and the Beko Freezer is still going strong 25 years later - although relegated to overflow duty in the shed. Must have bumped his divvy up well that year

Hebden Bridge's Co-Op has more lesbians fondling bananas in the fruit & veg section than any other Co-Op in the UK. Fact.

I succumbed to the Fig roll! Bought a packet last night. Alas not Jacobs or Co-op. Bollands, not a known make but satisfactory.
