    Theres a Blacks about to open on my high street, I was wondering are these english chain stores just ripping us off, when you compare prices for the same products they sell in england.

    Yet they are all really popular - I think its a case of the shop being more desired then the actual products people want.

    You have to admit the title is a little misleading

    Don't be so niggardly OP. If you don't like their prices, just don't shop there.


    @Mods: What's the official ruling on deliberately misleading titles? Is it open season or did the "niggardly" thread set some kind of precedent?

    The thread title is self-explanatory really, Blacks is a store, it's in his neighborhood. The fact that people (me included :)) rushed in expecting hot spicy racism is funny.

    He said all the crackers so I assume that includes Tuc crackers and Cream Crackers.

    Actually could the mods rename the thread to ' Blacks ruining my neighbourhood' - it gives it more of a punch
