Not sure what appended means but a driver hit the accelerator this morning and ploughed into the exit of Waitrose. Thankfully no one hurt although the store's currently closed. I think customers are being directed to Aldi...

What is it with some of the above posters? Why the hate/sarcasm re. people who shop at Waitrose? It is a perfectly normal supermarket. I shop there; and I only fill half of your criteria 'Observer'.

I have nothing against people who want to spend their money in Waitrose. It is quite eye wateringly expensive though.

@ Observer. the reason people shop at waitrose is because of the quality of the bread , fresh fish , the meats & fruit& veg, yes they are more expensive , but we all have a choice,think you got a serious attitude problem and a massive chip on your shoulder regarding the different people that shop there .

(a) all loaded thanks to London-based property wealth - never mind the fact that most thirty- and fortysomething movers to Lewes were probably renting in London or if they owned had missed out on the huge increase in prices and are probably saddled with huge mortgages
(b) simultaneously both sandle-wearing, quinoa-munching hippies and Barbour-wearing 4x4 drivers
