Netto admits UK failure and sells its stores to Asda
Discussion
Asda has bought Netto's 193 British stores for £778m, strengthening its position as the country's second biggest food retailer.
Netto launched in Britain in 1990. Figures this week showed it had a 0.7pc share of the UK grocery sector, but the discounters have seen previous stellar growth levels grind to a halt since the end of the recession.
Claus Juel-Jensen, managing director of Netto, said: "We have substantial opportunities for growth in Scandinavia and northern Europe and believe that the time has come to focus our efforts on the development of our business in these countries."

Don't know what is about asda, the prices are similar but I just prefer sainsburys every time.
Probably something to do with most Asda customers smelling of sour milk and year old body odour as they shop in their vomit stained white vests showing every ripple in their beer guts, grey "trackie" bottoms showing off more arse than hiding it, and flipflops whilst screaming at their army of promising little footballers who have the discipline of a pack of baboons.That kind of covers it :-)

Sainsburys is 100% better.
ASDA is an awful shopping experience but it is awesomely cheap. Also, mine has a McDonalds in it.
The only problem is with "aisle thinkers". People are prone to stopping suddenly when they see an item they might want, and it takes 10-15 seconds for them to remember what to do next (take item from shelf, put item in trolley)..

so you have principles until it comes to a bit of discount Mr_Yogi said:

That said I mostly use Ocado for household shops, but only because of the higher quality and convenince, nowt to do with who uses it. I really couldn't care less who else shops somewhere. In fact if there's lots of cheap people there it's probably a good sign, as it means I'm getting more bang for my buck!

For any southerners- you may not know what Netto is. Well you know how you are rich so need more than Sainsburys in Waitrose? Well us Northerners are poor so need something below Asda
