She heads for the International Foods aisle, but her shaven-headed, tattooed and string-vested consort points out “nah, that’s for all that fackin’ foreign shit”.
So they do a quick about turn into the next aisle. “Yeah, thassit”, he mutters, as they make a beeline for the…

Well, if you will go into Sutton Asda what can you expect? If you really want an experience, try the one at Beddington. Chav mothers slapping 7 bells out of their kids, ’stop crying you little farkin’ caaaaant, you’re embarrassing me!”
