I believe one's already opened up in Melbourne, another one is opening later this year, or next year in Auburn, here in Sydney.

I just remember shopping there on quite a few occasions. All this reminiscing about England, makes me wanna go back. :( The awesome thing about supermarkets over there too is they sell Alcohol off the shelf. So instead of having to go into a seperate bottle shop, you can pop in for a quick pint of milk, and walk out with a dozen lagers :lol:

The monopoly that Coles and Woolies hold in Australia is ridiculous. The competition in England is much fiercer, and their prices are more reasonable. But thei fresh produce is much more inhibitive than in australia. Post of the week. There's a bus with your name on it. Go wait in front of it.

I think Walmard will struggle in Australia, not being able to sell guns and all.

It was fantastic, I can still smell the passionfruit. But can you not use my actual name? If I wanted people to call me by my actual name I'd have made that my username. I prefer the nom-de-plume, thanks.
