@crossgolf_rebel It was hard to photograph the supermarket to give an idea of the size. Ideally, I would need to climb on top of the shelves and photograph downwards. That might get me thrown out. 😃

Do people still call #Inverness "Tesco Town"?

@fitheach No advantage though, to country folk, because we spend so much time trying to find things that we give up and go home with much less than usual 😁

@Jkp I know that other supermarkets sell DVDs, clothes, kitchenware, etc. but, the Tesco at Stoneyfield (?) has whole aisles dedicated to these things. It's HUGE. Open 24 hours, too.I just employed my usual technique of walking up and down every aisle. Found things eventually.

@athairbirb I've got to admit the cheap diesel (and petrol) was nice.

@fitheach Haha when working and we have to drive to Kinlochberbie or Scrabster that's a perfect distance from Cruden Bay for a quick toilet stop and to grab a sandwich.

@JustineSmithies So, that's what keeps Tesco in profit.

@fitheach The one on the A96 (Airport/Aberdeen road)? Went in there a few months ago and was very disappointed, all seemed very spread out with nothing like as much stuff as it had when I first moved up this way a decade or so ago.@Jkp

@edavies Yeah, the one just off the A96, opposite Vue cinema. Is that Stoneyfield? The Snow Goose pub is Stoneyfield, and that is within a stone's throw.Lot's of space is good though, isn't it? All the stuff I could want was there (and a lot of stuff I didn't).@Jkp

@fitheach IIRC, they used to have a lot more things like computer bits (SD cards, mice, etc). Didn't seem to have much at all when I looked more recently, just print cartridges and similar consumables. The smaller [¹] one in Wick's cut back like that, too.@Jkp [¹] But still decent sized, bigger than any I can think of on the West Coast except maybe Fort William?

@Jkp I did see Farley's rusks, which I haven't seen in decades. Not even old-times sake made me buy them. 😃 @edavies

@fitheach @edavies That's hilarious, and, broadly speaking, how we ended up with a pot of Sudocrem in the house again 😃
