    The local free range egg guy seems to have been dropped from the supplier list :(

    Lawless Eggs - that must be quite a blow. Some North County fruit and vegetable producers will more than likely have been dropped too.

    I got a pack last week but there weren't many, was hoping to get more today. They are the one thing that I only buy in JCs. Not any more I guess.

    It's barely JCs at this stage the fruit and veg was often superior but less so lately. There are the odd few things you won't get in the pavillions dunnes but will only head there now if traffic will be light.

    I've not checked the last couple of times I've been in but what is the off license like? Is it still full of loads of weird and wonderful drinks from round the world?

    Aye, thankfully they still have the deal on the McGargles I go for the Double IPA 3 for €9. No decent deals to be had on wine anymore which is a shame, JC's and Lidl were both good for getting decent wines at a decent price, have to stick to Lidl now :(

    Macardles and McGargles are two different things, just in case you were confusing them there (you might not have been of course)

    Macardles = red ale made by Diageo; last product left from the old Macardle Moore brewery that they destroyed bought out. McGargles = core brand of the Rye River Brewery from Celbridge.

    I haven't seen that on sale for ages. There's the Retro which I thought hsd taken its place with Francis as the main IPA (although the 3.8 session IPA with its different names depending on whether you're in a pub in Kildare or not is probably more common than all the rest)

    Foxes Rock is now being brewed on the old macardles brewery site in Dundalk

    I meant the original IPA, the 5.5%. Francis is the headline product basically!

    Has anyone noticed how long the queues are for JCs the last few days? Both Friday and Saturday they were right down to the railings at the park. That was mid afternoon on Friday and 9.30 a.m. on Saturday.

    I realise it's Easter, but Lidl and Aldi just had their usual queues of no more than 10 mins. When I was in JCs on Saturday (after almost an hour queueing) I noticed that it wasn't as busy as the previous week. I got the feeling they have reduced the numbers allowed into the shop hence the much longer queues.

    12 mins yesterday afternoon - slightly longer a week before. Basically wrapping around the building but not down to the park.

    I queued for exactly an hour last Thursday, around mid-day. Note to self, next time I'm bringing my Kindle. Mrs R went to the Pavilions around 4pm & walked straight into Supervalue, no queue.

    I hit JC's about 3pm today and the queue was 5 mins tops, during the week every time I passed it went the whole way round the building. Queue at Lidl has never been more than 5 or 10 mins.

    While the queues to get into Lidl aren't as long, the experience in JC's is far better.
