Morrison's in Barnstaple? Haven't we got enough supermarkets now? http://tinyurl.com/36a8qua

I can't imagine that the population of Barnstaple has increased sufficiently to create business for the giant Tesco let alone a Morrison's too. If people start buying their food, clothes, kitchen wares, booze etc from these super stores then who is losing out?

When I was a student in Derby years ago they used to have a supermarket called Kwiksave - it was the cheapest supermarket I've ever been to. I don't know if they have them down south but a Kwiksave would be brilliant. I think even the cheapest of the supermarkets we have with their own brands still keep prices unnecessarily high along with their competition.

A lot of food is cheaper from 'proper' shops which we have plenty of in Barnstaple - if only people could be bothered to shop there.

I know what Barney_Bloggs means - if you want food then walk down Butcher's Row in Barnstaple. Some people have got out of the habit of shopping in the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker. Get yourself a funky trolley and stroll down to Barnstaple's 'real' shops. Also don't miss out on Wyborn's farm shop just round the corner for local fresh fruit and veg.
