The Sign is up
and I believe they will sell hot food as well.
Taj have a vast range of food well beyond any standard supermarket
it will do very well on that street.
And making use of that big job centre building
gives them a great prime position.
You could buy Fresh fruit & worldwide foods from Taj
and other normal foods from Somerfield
they can both be used in one trip.
And if you shop in both stores
the Somerfield car park will do fine.

You don't say..
*remembers*
Oh yeah, you're the same poster that 'informed' us all a while ago that you could buy soup in Greggs.
Can I have a go?
Word is that there will be a new kwik fit in town
it is ideal
for exhausts and tyres |

The topic about the tea in Greggs led to a lot of comment.
You have to be selective about what you buy in Taj. |

I liked the old one down the side street from Western Road. The Western road site is a bit too glossy for my taste and big.
Jimmy Street is close enough to John Street to be really useful to me.
Bring it on :-) |

| I liked the one in Bedford Place too. It was like walking into a middle eastern souk. I love the fact that in the Western Road branch you can sample the olives before buying, Some of them are incredilby good. |

I hear that a Taj is opening in the two shops next to Otello's restaurant - the old, or not-so-old, post office - in Church Road in Hove.
At this rate there might be one in Portslade by the end of the century. |

| Yes -- the careful (money-wise!) shopper will use bedford place as first preference -- the same Taj, of course -- we use it a lot (literally 30 minutes ago!). |

I hope they're not expanding too quickly. |

Taj's onions are no longer the bargain that they were.
They pile up stuff to draw people in, but these have shot up in price. |

Reading this and now wondering if this forum needs an onion price topic.
Help the good people of Portslade, Hove and Brighton to get value for money and all that.

I think that it can be cheaper to look around for better tyre prices, same goes for exhausts. Kwik Fit aren't always the cheapest, but i've never had any complaints about their workmanship.
could be that there are readers who haven't been fortunate enough to go be able to visit a Taj. |

Great. Then we can look forward to such gems as
"There is a new newsagent in town
they sell cans of drinks, chocolate bars
and newspapers"
Or
"i see mr minit has opened a new branch
ideal for key cutting, or having shoes repaired"
I'd wager that if you live in Brighton, and have the mental capacity to use a forum, you'll pretty much know what a taj sells. And conversly, you'd also not give a shit about the price of tea in any given establishment.
This is a non thread. |

Yes, small garages in side streets and mews are often much cheaper and better than Kwik Fit and chain garages.
They know about engines and can do what is really needed wheras the chains are just fitters.
Where indeed is the best place for onions? |

| It may mean having to swim a bit every time you want to make an onion ragout but I am told that the flavour is awesome and surely that is worth a bit of a wetting? |

Swimming? No need. Let me do another 'Stae ythe obvious post'
"P&O ferries have ferries to France
and other destinations
you can drive your car on them
or walk
they have gift shops, but the fruit pastilles are overpriced" |

 By the sounds of it, we won't need a ferry ... we could just paddle over in one of your shoes 
(you are talking about feet aren't you when you say it is pretty big?) |

I think what this thread is missing is some gratuitous images of Taj.
There is a supermarket called Taj
They sell food.
They sell vegetables. Some of them have funny names like Kohlrabi and BokChoy. They give you gas.
They sell pulses. Beans and lentils are pulses. You have to soak them overnight or they give you gas.
They sell pickles and sauces like KimChi and Harissa. They are very hot. They can make your botty sore.
They sell lots of different kinds of olives. Some people like olives. I think they taste of urine.
The website says their food is suitable for vegetarians, is kosher and is gay-friendly. Vegetarians' houses smell of gas. How can a food be gay-friendly? Does it smile and remember to call?
Taj!
It's a supermarket. |

Arf! Finally someone on my wavelength.
Quick! To the gratuitous picture:
And a quick reply:
gas can bought from many vendors
but british gas is the worst
due to evil bush blair starting an illegal war
whch has affected their call centres
Life in the gas mask. |

Sorry, but evil blair has now graduated to evil stinking blair (© Long Time No Trousers)
Maybe Cherie shops at Taj
And now the Blair house is stinking
And the methane emission output has reached a level
To make a Guardian-reader fume
Life in the checkout lane (trying to resist the Mars Bar)
LTNS went to the wrong Taj
And he was followed ....
Excuse the cat, but I felt it needed a little extra something |

LTNS knows that cats can be bought
From Taj or Benjies
And you can avoid fur and dander
If you keep them covered

Would like one of these
