North Western – even Booths aren’t stupid enough to try to tame the Geordies and Mackems

And it is the best supermarket known to man.
Always a treat in Windermere and Kendal.

North West? The Lakes? I’ve been there, even played Northern Mastermind there once (It involves trying to hit a nail with the wrong end of a hammer), but never seen a store that could in anyway be described ‘Super’ called Booths.

Waitrose and booths have a gentlemans agreement not to tread on each toes so I doubt you’ll see a waitrose spring up in Lancashire or cumbria any time soon.

I only shop at Partridge’s on the Kings road and pick up local snacks on Gloucester Road. Ra ra!

Never thought I’d see such excitement over super markets.

Gentleman’s agreements only last as long as both sides can’t be bothered to fight.

True

We have Booth’s in the North West and Lakes.

there’s one in Ilkley too. Great selection of beers. not bothered about the rest of their stock.

and there’s a Waitrose in Otley, not sure if that counts as treading on Booths’ toes

When i moved to Macclesfied the nearest waitrose was probably Welwyn Gardeb city. Now you can’t move for them round here. Just for bits mind you.

There’ll be a waitrose in Preston soon. What gentlemans agreement would that be then?

Didn’t work in Durham.

Waitrose for supermarket stuff and the local grocer for fruit and vegetables and handy stuff.

Every trip to Tesco is just depressing after a trip to Waitrose.

Quality of service in Waitrose is pretty seductive, if my local shop sold more of the stuff that Waitrose does I’d use that as the service locally is magic.

Well there is a Booths in Ilkley and then a Waitrose in the next town Otley, all of about 3 miles apart…
