I can remember it so well. I was a young mother on a limited housekeeping budget.
My friend and I would push our pushchairs down to this Branch on a Friday as we had our housekeeping that day. We would carefully select items for the weekend as Dinner parties were the entertainment for weekends in those days!
We could only afford a few elite items but we just loved the staff, quality and gentility then (and still do)!
We were delighted if someone asked where we had obtained a certain product and we could say “Waitrose”!
How life has changed. But Waitrose has not! Quality, selection and lovely staff! They still have edge long may it continue.
My one wish?
Please open up in Northern Ireland as I live here now. I have to bring the car twice a year to shop! Not only for myself but friends and neighbours.
