This Tesco Express has a range of goods but be aware that they're more expensive than at the Tesco supermarkets. I have to confess to buying cheese straws here for staff at work but I shop at the other shops on Craddocks Parade for my other grocery needs - William Dyer butchers for fantastic meat and pies, Card's across the road for my fruit, Allison's bakery for pastries and Stems for flowers. Even in a small parade of shops, you can find local independent businesses selling better quality stuff with more variety. So, please support them! To be fair, Tesco also offer a cashpoint service (provided by Royal Bank of Scotland), which is convenient. I mainly posted this review because of the sign I spotted on the door, which may explain some of the recent riots we've witnessed. Tesco have a big warning sign to any potential robbers on the door, advising them of a smoke system which will deploy if they enter the premises and Tesco have to explicitly say that they won't be liable for any injuries. As far as I'm concerned, if you break in anywhere, you lose all rights. If you break your leg in the smoke, tough. If the big German Shepherd guard dog bites you, tough. If the shopkeeper gives you concussion with a baseball bat, tough. It's time the lawyers, judges and politicians get on the side of the victims.

I think the…read morerecent horse meat scandal in the UK is a sharp reminder that if the ultimate principle guiding your food purchase is price, then you generally get what you pay for I do have a Chinese Thrift Gene but perhaps, I should qualify it by saying that it's really a Value for Money Gene. Good quality is definitely worth paying for William Dyer is my local butcher, where Robert and his staff prove their weight in gold! Firstly, their meat is top class and they are happy to prepare and cut any of the eat to specification. The meat is aged appropriately. Last week, I cooked some superb fillet steaks from here for a dinner party and my knowledgeable foodie guests were eulogising about the meat Robert is also a wealth of knowledge about meat and how to cook it. If you tell him what you want to do with the meat, he can recommend the exact cut that you need. He's very helpful in keeping me marrow bones and carcasses to make stock Every keen cook deserves a Willam Dyer
