Re: Asda planning sale-and-leaseback to raise cash

It's a cut-throat business selling everything to everyone at a price lower than your competitors.

Usually that lower price is gained at the cost of quality and/or how much lower they can screw the deals offered to companies actually producing the products . . . which also lowers the quality of ingredients and the 'quality' of the workforce.

No surprise that the end is near for some

That'll come back to bite them in x years' time when the lease is up.

Talking of sawdust - I was in Sydney (at the North Sydney Travelodge) and was having a breakfast fry-up. The server asked me how I looked the breakfast. I told here it was delicious except for the sausage which was too meaty and not enough sawdust. I was promptly accused of being a whinging Pom.

I was in Sydney a couple of years ago, and their pork sausages are still too meaty. ASDA take note - their pork sausages were our house favourite.

Our choice of bangers are Morrisons Best (90% pork) or Heck (97% pork).

Re: Asda planning sale-and-leaseback to raise cash

My current choice of bangers is anyone's Pork & Leek Sausages. Waitrose used to do them but seem no longer so to do. We have to go to a farm shop for them - and then the meat content is too high!
