Why don't buses go from wick to Add a, why is there no bus stop anywhere near it. Grrrrr. I'm sure a lot of people would use a bus.

unless you've got a personal gripe against tesco, i'm not sure it'd be worth the time and hassle Fran.

the selection and price is much the same as Wick Tesco, but the cafe at ASDA (unbelievably) is even worse than Tescos

to add to your misery; after that long journey, disappointing purchases and inept cafe staff with inedible food ... they have square toilet seats .... that's right, square toilet seats

The cafe in Inverness ASDA was worse than the cafe in tescos in Inverness on the way to airport...IMHO
But love ASDA clothing for kids as what I have had in the way of clothes doest go short n fat with funny seems when tumbled.
And as for fluff omg its a thing to die for with bread sticks! ..for not to be gotten elsewhere things its worth a big home shop if its on the del route!
As for square loo seats the kids thought they were a novelty and were great!....the power handdryers were the bees knees!

I only commented about buses not the quality of asda shopping and square toilet seats. I personally like asda very much.yesterday the staff were very efficient. I queried a past till receipt, was given a refund and also some credit on an asda gift card for my inconvenience. Very good. I still wonder about buses.

Isn't it amazing how people digress? I know the X99 goes past Asda Tain but I'm not sure it stops there. I suppose if plenty people took that journey to Asda maybe the bus would stop there.

Hey whats wrong with shopping online and getting it delivered from ASDA...maybe selfish thoughts. but if more in the KW1 5 xx in Wick did they would expand their catchment area...
And we would be included!
Different products and more choice etc..!
As I said earlier I love ASDA for what I use it for...and more choice in supermarkets might make tescos stand up and think about competition even up here!

Why don't you do an online order Fran? Asda deliver to Wick 7 days a week.

You can get clothing from ASDA delivered as well...

£2.95 delivery charge is reasonable.

You can buy a grocery pass that gives you 3 months deliveries of food or asda direct home shopping for 15 pounds. Excellent value

It's been estimated that 17% of the world population have to walk over 10 miles daily to collect water and to perform basic sanitary actions.

Therefor the bus not stopping at ASDA in Tain is something I can live with.

Lets take a moment to think about that 17% who don't have iPads, the internet or Facebook to complain about it...............

I am now living on St Kilda and it's an absolute disgrace that Harrods won't deliver one of their hampers here.

Yours sincerely, Mr Living In The Sticks but still expecting the world to be at my beck and call.

I can assure you it didn't stop at scorrie towers. I do most of my shopping at Lidl and they helicopter the goods over at no charge. Wish Harrods would take note Grrrrr!

I haven't used Tesco since March because I have an unresolved issue with them. Surprisingly there is life after Tesco and I don't have to travel anywhere to purchase my vitals.

If I had the cash I would buy a mini bus myself. Great idea. I'd do every Friday leave wick at ten leave asda at three.

I really believe that Tesco had a point when they expected you to PAY for those messages Kevin. Put your pride in your pocket, settle the bill and you can be a happy Tesco's camper once again. ;)
