HeHasRisen Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) There is a new Lidl round the corner which is infinitly cheaper. No loss (other than the jobs) Edited May 9, 2023 by HeHasRisen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) The demise of individual Co-Operative Societies was mainly fuelled by nosey busybody Labour councillors attempting to shove Socialism down the throat of Capitalism. Without intending to be a snob, a multi million pound retail operation cannot be run by Labour councillors that couldn’t recognise the difference between ‘Gross Profit’ from ‘Net Profit On Return’, and I speak from experience.

Co ops saved many families Christmases when I was a kid , Some on here never experience that situation mi thinks running with the fox and hunting with the hounds comes to mind . Socialism ran as it should be is a way to make man kind more inclusive of wealth and fairness in society . Sadly greed aways wins in the end . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be missing something. Although I'm not a fan of Sheffield council, I fail to see why the closure of individual Co-Op societies is down to the council. They were businesses, quite distinct from the council who had no hand in their running at all as far as I am aware so I don't understand the point your post is making.

I have no idea as I have full control of my bladder It would probably only be used as a shooting up gallery anyway so I doubt it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHasRisen Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) 3 minutes ago, bassett one said: another bad day for the city centre It really isnt. The Co-Op is a rip off, there is a brand new Lidl just opened round the corner, the recently opened Tesco Express on Fargate is probably the same pricing, you already have another Tesco Express and Sainsburys Local nearby too. Its only a "bad day" for nostalgia freaks. As said in another thread, I had to go in the Co-Op recently and it was 70p for a tin of chopped tomatoes. It wont even be half that in the Lidl. As for the rest of the old Co-Op building, that is now being used by other enterprises. Edited May 9, 2023 by HeHasRisen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
