I love Asda because they do all my film processing. Colour negative and Xpro all for a very reasonable price of £2 per roll processing and then scanned onto a cd (up to 4 rolls) for 97p. I probably wouldn't be able to take so many images and experiment as much if it wasn't for them.
I never knew Asda had a branch in West Pontnewydd! The Asda store is nearly two miles away. Note the vicious security at the back of the shops. They didn't need that when the end shop was the Home & Colonial.

PRODUCT PERFORMANCE AND AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING SERVICE LEADS ASDA TO ONCE AGAIN SELECT SCANIA
LEADING SUPERMARKET RETAILER AND LONG-STANDING SCANIA OPERATOR ASDA STORES LIMITED HAS INTRODUCED A FURTHER 165 SCANIA TRUCKS INTO SERVICE IN A FOUR YEAR CONTRACT HIRE DEAL WHICH ALSO SEES SCANIA BECOMING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ON-GOING MAINTENANCE OF A FURTHER 200-PLUS TRAILERS IN ADDITION TO THE 1,400 ALREADY IN THE CARE OF ITS NATIONWIDE DEALER NETWORK.
Supplied by Scania (Great Britain) Limited and its independent dealers, Keltruck Limited, TruckEast Limited and Haydock Commercial Vehicles Limited, the vehicles are all Scania R 400 LA6x2/4MNA twinsteer tractor units. Based at ASDA regional distribution centres around the country, the trucks are now operating on the retailer's intensive UK store replenishment programme.
"Although ASDA and Scania have operated in partnership for many years, we nonetheless conducted a comprehensive procurement exercise before the decision to once again re-equip with Scania was taken," comments ASDA's National Transport Manager – Central Operations, Gary Banister. "In the event, we concluded that Scania represents best value for money when all aspects of operation are taken into account. In particular, the combination of proven product performance and the ability of its network to provide maintenance for our trucks and trailers nationwide, together with a highly-competitive pricing policy, were the key factors which secured the deal for Scania."
For Scania, UK Truck Sales Director Martin Hay says: "We are naturally delighted that ASDA has elected to continue its long association with Scania and our network. This is especially so given the thorough market review, which placed our products and the service support we provide under exceptionally close scrutiny, undertaken by ASDA's Central Operations team before arriving at their decision."

by catching the wrong bus (508) I ended up stuck further out in Bradford than I intended, but still the opportunities there were interesting
A favourite place to abandon trolleys, by the Old Bridge End Inn where the canal is culverted; probably pushed up the canal bank from Asda in town.
Manufacturer: Wanzl Model: Light 70-F

____________________________________________
ASDA (Associated Dairies, if you are old fashioned, Wal*Mart if you are young) took over Netto's UK stores in 2010, to convert them in 2011.
The Woodseats one is one of the first in Sheffield to be converted to a mini-ASDA (I think Manor Top opened earlier?). Quite a change for ASDA to run small shops (whilst Tesco, Sainsburys and Co-op do convenience stores, ASDA tend to stick to the "hypermarket" end of the scale).
But with less scope for growth in big shops, and competition from smaller operations like Lidl/Aldi (with smaller overheads), this is ASDA fighting back by going small.
There was an Asda trolley dumped here several days ago. That disappeared (amazingly, not into the canal at the back). This is a popular drop off point for errant trolleys, many of which end up in the canal. I suspect someone in the houses here likes to “borrow” trolleys to fetch stuff home. You never see anyone walking empty trolleys back into town though.
