Morrisons put bar in Leeds store

[mjr]

Was staying in east Berlin a few weeks ago, we had a great supermarket at the end of the street. Had a brilliant cafe bar inside and a few tables and seats outside. Burgers, hotdog and bacon joint for just over a euro and a beer for €1.50. Dozens of customers shopping on bikes and chilling out with a wine or beer for half an hour, it was great.

I can see how that would work in small high street stores but aren't most Morrisons big box retail stores surrounded by urban wasteland car parks? The one in Guiseley appears to have a real cafe-bar (Everybodys?) between it and Otley Road anyway.

This has got "winner" written all over it

"I'm only coming shopping with you if I can have a couple of pints while you wander around the aisles"

I need to be half cut to pluck up the courage to go in Morrisons in the first place.

At the one in Eccles they ask you on the door if you have any weapons and if you say you don't, they lend you one.

Wouldn't you rather do that than wander up Church Street for a pint?

We already travel by air from a shopping mall and pub with Europiss on sale 24 hours and a runway outside so what's so different?

You can now buy a pint while doing your weekly shop at the branch in Guiseley, near Leeds. If all goes well then the supermarket could roll the scheme out across the country, and we could all be necking beers while trying to remember what’s on our shopping list.

Of all places it had to be Guiseley!

P'raps a long time ago, but I've had a beer in supermarket bars in Spain, China and Russia.

And they did it with a 10 men, non-league away side. What's up with you Lancastrians?! Oh wait, just noticed Guiseley had a striker called Rooney.

Happy Birthday btw!

This is England. What works elsewhere rarely works here.

All day drinks licencing was trialled in Scotland. It made little difference there, probably because everyone from primary school age upwards drinks all day long anyway.

The trial was deemed successful and rolled out to England, and top hat wearing, waxed moustache toting Englishmen were transformed into slavering lunatics who all made a drunken bee line for the nearest kebab shop to start a fight.

So when your partner asks you to go and get a trolley, you can disappear for an hour and get trollied and make out you misheard.

I like your thinking....

As a lover of proper beer I can't think of any more unpleasant and unsociable place in which to drink. The beer will be Europiss, pasteurized and stored under gas so that it won't matter how much it is abused, you won't be able to sit quietly with pals and enjoy some gentle joshing and banter, which is the very essence of the British pub. It will be patronized only by the sad and desperate, the same folk you see "getting one in" at 06.00 at that shopping mall with a runway handily located outside for your escape.
