    Is that how far it is to your nearest supermarket? Genuine question by the way not a sarky 'why drive so far you rule breaking ****' kind of question

    No, I live in south Elmsall. We have an Aldi and a local Asda. I have found the local Aldi to be far better at coping with the crisis at the moment than the local Asda - they seem to be getting the supplies in and restocking better. Dont know if Asda are concentrating more supplies and resources on the bigger stores or what. We are ok with using either as needs fit for our own needs, although I don't like the local asda because virtually every till is self service and it's all a bit cramped. But I was doing the big shop for my mum because I have banned her from going, and she tends to prefer Asda stuff - some of the stuff she wants I can't get in Aldi. So because it was a bigger shop, I went rogue and travelled to Carcroft. The 16 miles covered tripled the mileage I have done in the last month. Up to that, with our daily walk round the local country park (old Frickley pit tip), I think I have walked further than I have driven in the last month ;)
