‘Probably the Co-op. Overpriced, not quite sure whether it’s a major power (supermarket) or a regional power (convenience store), occasionally suffers from a major problem but manages to keep calm and carry on.’
–TheRiverGiraffe

‘Toby Carvery: emulating a centuries old tradition but actually doing a very poor quality job of it. Nevertheless, remains popular through a streak of society.’
–DLoRedOnline

–Eisenmaus

‘Sports Direct, has all these brands you’ve heard of, but they’re all shitty run down versions living on past glories.’
–antonylockhart

–RobertTheSpruce
