On the odd occassion I've ventured in I've found they do have a better veggie range than a lot, but as it's not the busiest of shops in the area, fruit and veg tends to be tired and it feels as if you're often buying the end of the box... I often shop in the department store though - much better even if it does feel old fashioned, but they have one of the qualities that is very rare now - staff that know what they are selling and are really able to help rather than just read from the manual or point of sale card. I do agree that they are one of the best around from a green perspective though and they are often setting trends. I hope that this is one that other supermarkets take on.
