Tescos

It's on the Kingsway, which is the ringroad, ie - its the A90 as it passes through/around the town. North end of the city on a big retail park, just as you're about to start heading up to Aberdeen.

You should take some photos on your phone and post them on here. Supermarket porn for fetishists of major retail outlets.

The opening times are just so much more civilized up there, especially on a Sunday (which is bizarre given the not-too-distant cultural history of Sunday shut-down in Scotland). Nearly all supermarkets in England close at 4pm as standard on a Sunday (even the ones that masquerade as being 24 hours), but your local no-mark store north of the border will always be open 'til 8pm on the Lord's day. Very civilized.

tescos is the best food market in the world. alas, we don't have it here in the US, so where do i shop? WAL-MART.

Hiya stranger!

We have Asda here also (part of the Wal-mart chain). I much prefer Tesco. Call me a snob but you don't get anywhere near as high a percentage of scrotes in our local Tesco.

Dundee gets a hard time from most non-residents ("Scumdee" is the standard epithet) but it's actually a nice town and a decent place to go out on the tiles - good place to be a student. And, on a sunny day overlooking the silvr'y Tay, it can be absolutely beautiful.

And, for the record, when I lived in Aberdeen I never got any grief for being English. Not once.* My job was wank, but I really loved living in Scotland.

(* - this excludes the notorious Hooky DJ night out with Colin. Blame "WIM".)

Tell Mrs Hac to get herself down to said Student Union tomorrow night and look out for a handsome bespectacled DJ. I'll buy her a bottle of Becks with the 6p change in my pocket.

Dundee gets a right bad press but like Frads says it's actually a very decent place. Small enough to get to know quickly and some great nightlife. Had a couple of mate's at Art School up there and a mate who moved there from Embra a few years back so I've been about a good bit. Plus, the Apex Hotel is one of the best gaffs I've stayed in anywhere ever. Lookin forward to fillin ma boots at their breakfast buffet on Saturday morning. The black pudding is fackin amazin!

Ooh fuck sorry! I ms-read it. Thought it was 'Mrs'. I'm sure that could pass for internet grooming. Apologies.

No worries, she'll still be tapping you for the bottle of becks.

The worst supermarket ever was Fine Fare. It was the retail equivalent of gang-rape.
