    Did they have a lot of English accents on those ads to keep unionists happy? Still notice Translink do that. Probably not for much longer thankfully.

    If i remember correctly, i think Stewarts and Crazy Prices pretty much had a monopoly on supermarket shopping since they were owned by the same company. Sainsburys and Tescos didn't come to Northern Ireland till 95 or 96. I cant remember any other supermarket brands before then. Edit: Sorry, I do remember Wellworths too. Had one at the bottom of our street on the Shore Road.

    Billy Connolly did this subject about 10 years before - about Scottish ladies of a certain age out for tea/lunch. They actually passively aggressively pat the other woman’s arm in time/the same rhythm as their protestations. ‘Now. You. Know. It’s. A. Tuesday. And. I. Always. Pay. On. A Tues-day!’

    As a child of the 1980s, my Mum and Dad couldn't afford brand names: Our whole family were raised on the 'yellow pack' line from Stewarts. Everything from toothpaste to coffee to chocolate frozen mousses. The BEST, beating Mcvities, was the Digestive biscuits...They were DELICIOUS! THANK YOU FOR THE HAPPY MEMORIES, from 2023! 😊😊😊😊

    I was told the reason why Crazy Prices was a supermarket most British people never heard of, was down to the fact that the major UK supermarket chains never bothered to come to Northern Ireland until after the 1994 ceasefires. Sainsbury in 1995, Tesco in 1996. Asda didn't arrive until 2005.

    • @Phildough

      Asda did come in 2005, but there were still a few that remained Safeway until 2008!
