Seems like a fairly important topic for HYS
WOW! Nice to get a bit of good news for a change. I await the negative comments.
Morrisons sales of whole salmon up 40% - Well deserved after the big 2 closed fishmonger counters in the chase for profits.
Morrisons has always been the best place to go for fresh fish if you're not near the coast , it's always well presented and very fresh in my 2 local branches
Morrisons had half price offer before Xmas, so of course sales of salmon were up lol
I accept the big 2 shot themselves by these closures. Here in Scotland, Morrisons exploited reduced competition and hiked their prices throughout the store, not just the deli/fishmonger. I now use the local baker/fishmonger/fruit & veg shops etc. No queues, better choice and buying the amount I want, not what has been packaged. Morrisons is handy if I run out of something. Changed days!
Not really. Thanks to Boris Brexit incompetence €6bn of trading was lost to the City on the first day of Brexit yesterday. You'd think that would be worth a mention.
Of course it is a slow news day. Now Brexit has happened and the sky hasn't and isn't going to fall in, most 'journalists' don;t know what to do with themselves.
It is great they have done well and congrats on them giving back their business rates relief, along with Tesco and ASDA, Sainsburys and Aldi. Waitrose need to take note and do the same!
Sure but why is it top business story?
No mention on the BBC today of the €6bn of trading that permanently deserted the City on the first day of Brexit yesterday.
Buried by Boris callous lockdown delay. Thousands extra dead to bury bad news. Removed

Great that they are working with our government to supply vaccination places to get us moving.
Waitrose will not make a profit this year because of John Lewis is haemorrhaging money thanks to the continual rule changes and multiple lockdowns. They cannot afford to pay the money back, and that is the very reason the support is available in the first case.
Saw a news report that some Tory MP was recommending that we all relax and buy a bottle of champagne for £170!
Typical out of touch Tory who lives in a totally different world to the vast majority of us.
Typical out of touch Tory who lives in a totally different world to the vast majority of us.
And so do M&S who also have refused to hand back business rate relief money!
Perhaps they can pay the real living wage now and give people proper hours not just 4hr contracts x
Waitrose are not giants like Tesco, Sainsburys etc
Surely the headline should be:
"Supermarket struggle with champagne"
Whoever wrote this isn't really trying and hasn't read their BBC style guide.

Where one sector of the economy suffers (hospitality) another gains .........
As someone else said here recently; if our economy relies on the population serving each other sandwiches and coffee, our economy has problems anyway.
When a situation hands you opportunity, only a foolish person wouldn't grab it. Stories of how well supermarkets are doing when everyone else is forced to shut, is like writing a story about how the world is round.
Forcing smaller business to shut as they are deemed unessential... thus the big supermarkets just stock and pocket the competition.
This has been destructive for small businesses who can't rely on disposable millions of £.

Nice analogy there Truthbetold....
1800 hospitals in the UK, each do 1,000 vaccinations a day. 10 days we'd have covered the most vulnerable. They can then stay at home to await the 2nd jab. During those 21 days we could vaccinate the next ~37 million folks.
In the space of 31 days the whole country would be pretty much done.
We started vaccinating 8th Dec so should have finished the end of this week...
We're not even close!!!

Tell that to the vaccine producers that can only make 1million doses a week
you sums are to rounded 35000 persons administering the jab equals a year to get through the required population.
Well we could have had enough vaccines to supply your ridiculous schedule if the manufacturers had said sorry to the rest of the world but only Britain can have vaccines.
Oh and it's the super expensive one too

Wrong - our local health center vaccinated 1200 people in less than 6 hours and we’re out in the very rural countryside well done Boris and more importantly the NHS
Supermarkets were packed this December - alongside a complete lack of social distancing. It doesn't surprise me to see the number of infections rising despite closing all the restaurants and bars
Well, we have to eat...
I visited 3 supermarkets on Christmas Eve-Eve and I could count on one hand the amount of customers I encountered. Shelves full. No customers. Instant checkout.
Visit at quiet times and they're empty. Visit at busy times and they're busy.
If you visit a busy times, that's on you.

But they insisted on hand cleaning and masks - 10 out of 10 for supermarkets.
0 out of 10 for teachers unions - I would ban them.

Sainsbury’s is the worst. Still got people at the front door but they are not controlling numbers just saying , “hell” to everyone. Meanwhile aisles are packed with people. Cash registers going kerching all day.
I went shopping in my Sainsburys just before Xmas and it was fairly busy but pleased to say that everyone was wearing a mask and doing their best to avoid others. I just wish everyone would use the free hand gel at every opportunity. I feel a lot more safer in a supermarket than in a pub or restaurant.
What have they done to deserve these profits..nothing ,with exception of reduced promotional activity.
If the only place you can food shop is a major multiple the anyone could do what they have done.
Top 5 multiples should have a windfall tax which could be shared amongst the foodservice sector.

A part of the problem is the greenies who struggle to abolish BOGOFs on the misplaced grounds that it is wasteful on food and the general population doesn't understand how to use freezers.
Stop buying French champagne.
Buy English sparkling wine instead.

What I have read is that Pfizer produced 50 million doses by the end of 2020.
Oxford vaccine will have 40 million available to the UK by end of March.
Between the two, why is the total vaccinated only just over 1m? It's the governments lack of logistics that is causing a lot of issues.

Meanwhile an entrepreneur in India has already stockpiled 100 million doses for his country and has an agreement with AZ to produce a billion doses this year.
Morrisons is great for food, good range and sharp prices. I wish they'd clear all the kids clothes and other assorted rubbish out of their stores though!
The Morrisons here in Risca always has lots of whole fresh octopus for sale for reasons I've never really understood, never seen it elsewhere.
Won't go anywhere else for fish or meat. Superior to any other supermarket.
Indeed. The insatiable demand for cheap meat. Kind of why we've got Covid in the first place.

and have somewhere to visit given everything else has been shut needlessly.
That will be FRENCH Champagne?
And I thought WE needed them more than THEY need us?
Stop buying French stuff and buy BRITISH sparkling wine, Somerset Brie...
And I thought WE needed them more than THEY need us?

Would you suggest the rest of the world stop buying British products and instead buy their own locally-produced goods? Cos it works both ways, you know. Maybe you'd like the UK to be more like North Korea.
Mmmm Somerset Brie, made in the UK, owned by a French company, headquartered in France...
I assume you drive around in a Jaguar or other car manufactured here? #and yes , I know they arent british owned
British sparkling wines are out of stock.
Sorry most of the UK copies are poor versions and cost more. Main supporters are little Englander daily mail types.
Have you seen the price of English Sparkling wine. Britain can never make enough wine to supply the home market.
Can you suggest where I can get British bananas from or British Oranges?
Brexiteers who championed "global Britain" last week, are this week instructing us not to trade with foreigners!
It appears the followers are as partial to a u-turn as the hapless "leader".
It appears the followers are as partial to a u-turn as the hapless "leader".
Clearly that is the case, because British wine and brie is appalling. You do whta you like
Must admit that was the first thing I scanned the article for, the origins of this salmon and "champers" - suspect it was more an equivalent, rather than the real thing at £20+ a bottle, that they refer to.
Yep. British sparklers regularly beat big name Champagnes in blind testings. British cheese needs to come on a bit though, there is plenty of variety, but some French styles we have not emulated yet.
I can picture it now. The keyboard warriors sitting in their warm houses, heated courtesy of foreign owned gas and electricity generators/suppliers, sipping their cup of tea, courtesy of their foreign owned water suppliers, while they frantically type: "BUY BRITISH!"??
I like France, I like the French, I like French champagne, I like French Brie and I'll continue buying the products I like from any country I choose (including UK). My choice won't be swayed by people who have anti-Europe tendencies.
I will now only ever buy British white wine. Like our beer, it's now the best in the World. If only it was a little warmer here to make red wine too.
I think it was actually a German military officer who said, quite correctly" Patriotism stops at the stomach".
No thank you,like British wine down the sink

If you go first thing or last thing you're unlikely to be able to get everything you need. Surely a single trip at peak time is better than multiple trips. I'm vigilant but I am amazed by how many staff in my local Morrisons don't wear masks - I've complained to no avail!
Discount for NHS/TEACHERS at Morrisons what about the rest of workers that have actually kept the country going
Me,Me,Me I want a discount.
Spot on! Giving discounts to people who continue to work and have a guaranteed income is ridiculous when so many others are now either unemployed, furloughed or had their whole livelihood destroyed.

Perhaps Morrisons should be subject to a 'windfall tax' for being a 'Tory company which exploits the poor', eh Comrades?
Or perhaps you would all like to be given 25% of the company's shares?

Sales of champagne and salmon increased in the days before Xmas.
Well I never!
Well I never!
It it was farmed salmon then i'd rather not bother. It's pink cancer.
Morrisons deserve their success - their stores are far more welcoming than Tesco and their pricing - while not completely devoid of deviousness - is a lot more honest. All large supermarket prices yo yo all the time to create so-called price drops, but Tesco are far away the worst. Morrisons do it rather less so.
Morrisons is the best value for food. Waitrose is quite good too, although some of their prices (not all) need watching. I have found Sainsbury's to be expensive and poor quality, Tesco a bit downmarket and Asda seems particularly weak on quality of food.

Lots of unnecessary Xmas shopping activity and 7-10 days later Covid data rocketing and lockdown number 3. Could there be any connection? Yes. Was it predictable? Entirely. Reap what you sow. Idiots.
I would really like to see an article telling us why the BBC is such good value for the license fee, with an HYS so we can all make some incisive comments.
That can't be allowed, you might have an opinion about something that is relevant and important.

Yea...why do we need schools at all, turns out parents can give their kids the education they need all by themselves.. Now where did I put my Bunsen burner......
Not as simple as that though is it, me and my wife are key workers and have worked solidly through these lockdowns. I don’t know where to start with my kids chosen options, I’m not a teacher, and one of my kids should be doing exams next year. They are given about half a days lesson maximum each day

yet the equivilant of that would be everyone else buying goods from their own countries, and not buying British. Someone appears racist here but it isnt the one you're pointing a finger at, nor the OP.

Drivel.
Apparently if farmed salmon wasn't given supplements it would be grey, not pink! But pink is still wrong, best salmon is always red. And those salmon farms are causing big environmental headaches, might well get banned one day.
Is it just me that thinks champagne is horrible? Emperors new clothes it is, tell everyone it's the height of sophistication and they buy it.
There may be others who think Champagne is "Horrible" though I am not one of them !
If you don't like bubbles, don't buy fizzy wine !
If you find Champagne too dry or too sharp, buy Demi Sec Champagne, which is sweeter, or save your pennies and buy Prosecco, Asti Spumate or Cava
Trendies in Froggyland have long put a drop of Cassis into Champagne to sweeten it a bit, Ribena works just as well !

I don't find champagne horrible - just poor value. Prosecco or Cava will give you the same pop of the cork for less, and with equal flavour. If you want to taste the best, go for one of the many British sparkling whites - and it doesn't have to be shipped over here, so less pollution.

Your local health centre has done phenomenally well. Much praise ot them. If all local health centres could match that, we'd be done much faster. 200 in an hour is amazing work. Local Health Centre =/= Hospital. So to add in Health Centres, would make things even easier on the numbers per hour required.
Too slow.

2) If you insist on selling it in a shop then "stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap!"

english people will buy anything - look at the mess they've put us in by buying everything Boris Johnson says - and believing it!
And before you all pipe up "we didn't all vote for Boris" - a very healthy number of your fellow countrymen did - and look where it has got us?
He's flipping and flopping like a fish out of water - and people are dying because of it.
Champagne & Salmon though LOL

It’s great that we still a country wealthy enough for people to buy good produce. With the Free deal even better. Tories looking after the economy.
And the Welsh. They had a majority for Brexit. Don't forget them. Oh, and the Welsh and Scotch who elected Tory MPs. Give them a shout out too. Or does that spoil your pathetically racist narrative?
Salmon don’t jump. They leap.
And all supermarkets have had it easy in the last year. The competition laws were suspended leaving them to abandon competitive pricing and customer loyalty. Each CEO will get multi million puns bonuses for doing nothing apart from being in the right place at the right time. Their staff , however, just got to keep their jobs.

You could have added that supermarket staff have continued to work throughout the pandemic, in close contact with infectious (and often abusive) people, even tho' their job is: low wage, anti social hours, insecure, and low prestige.
Meanwhile many of the celebrated NHS workers and teachers have run away and hidden under the bedclothes, or seem to be fulltime political activists.

That’s because this is about champagne at Morrison’s so it would be off topic. And not true.
Don't know where you get your figures from. Trading in Euro-denominated shares has moved (by EU requirement) to three trading hubs in Europe. Which yesterday traded under €250m.
In any case it is not the loss of the trades that (financially) matters it is the loss of the commission and fees that would have been charged.

It's not the fizz it's the taste tried it a few times from cheap stuff up to three figure bottles. Honestly I would sooner drink warm Stella from a can. Each to their own but it is held in an undeserved reverence by many when compared to any other drink. Prefer a bordeaux myself.

I think shopping is hell too ????
Not at my local - they are controlling it well. Lidl on the other hand - I will not go in there, it is not worth the risk they offer.
My local store controls the numbers going in and out, and they've never said 'hell' to me. They should put back the self-distancing paraphenalia in-stores as I do agree it's a bit of a free for all once you're in. If I'm waiting for someone to move away, most times someone pushes in- you can't keep your distance and people just don't seem to care anymore.
At my local Sainsbury's they ARE controlling numbers, counting and out using an ipad, you can see the number. Now you are just making a sweeping generalisation.

Well done morrisons..
10% key worker dicount
Christmas food order was spot on this year instead of the previous year of moving items and confusion to where to pick up and pay..
As for getting things in early I've been doing this the last 20 years or so. Saves the hassle.

Morrisons in my town (Aylesbury) are cutting staff, having made a small fortune during this mess. Disgraceful company
Champagne = fizzy french wine to disguise the poor taste, you can keep it, buy British , commonwealth or from our true friends around the non EU world.
You are probably a Lambrini or White Lightning kind of guy, the latter is more likely as it is a British product.
You are likely a member of one of those Buy British for Brexit Face Book pages.

While I'm no fan of Champagne, French or otherwise. I'm afraid my wine choices are dictated by their taste and my appreciation of them - rather than any political considerations.
Must be so annoying for EU, seeingUK economy holding up
Courtesy of French Champagne?
Just wait till next Christams. You'll be glad of your gruel.
If only they could get their pathetic café in order.
Had the worst lasagne I've ever tasted there a couple of weeks ago. Gristle and grease galore.

I used to be a Loyal Morrisons customer. Price, quality, Convenience, Free Parking Most friendly & helpful staff and no charge trolley's.
BUT: Come the first lockdown, attempting to place a Click &Collect order I was told that there is not an Option to specify "No Substitution".

Come on David Potts, sort this out, so I may consider returning.

Thats right, the pandemic will have been an incredibly profitable period for the major supermarket chains, how fortuitous for them, do they thank Boris personally?
I shop in Tesco and have found, unsurprisingly, that many prices have gone up since Jan 1st. And I don’t think Brexit is to blame. Every cloud.........
Being disabled & living in a first floor flat I take my hat off to the Asda delivery men who every week bring all my shopping upstairs for me. Above and beyond springs to mind!
Yes all delivery drivers,a very big thank you from us all,you have kept us well,Joly good show

Thank you, My son is a delivery man. Quite often people treat him like something you scrap off your shoes.

Morrisons is my nearest supermarket . But having seen the number of people they allow in without masks and the attitude of staff (often no masks and no distancing) I won't be back in a hurry.
I totally agree. I refuse to shop there anymore.
Same here. Mine has a security guard on the door without a mask who stands there smoking and admitting the maskless by the dozen.
I dont shop there as its too working class for me

As you know, Champagne is a protected title, the method is not unique to the region, just the name, others are available at lower prices. The Swiss make a super fizz.
There's no cloud here bud, as a fortunate person, all of this is basically meaningless to me, but this pandemic farce is deeply suspicious imho. Now pleeease go and get a jab, for the good of mankind!
yet they went up since January 1st and not before. Your thinking is poor.
Drivel.
makes me wonder where all the money is coming from to buy all this champagne - thought everyone was struggling and needed the food banks etc?? Not as if morrisons is a fortnums equivalent??
You haven't been keeping up with the news. Due to severe reductions in pubs, clubs, cinema, theatre and restauarant nights out, days with the family at some theme park, weekends away in a country cottage and foreign holidays, added to much lower commuting/fuel costs and bought sandwich lunches & coffees, there is something like £200bn floating around in the economy looking to be spent.
Money saved from the stamp duty holiday -landlord and second hoe owners buying more properties with a grant from the taxpayer
Must be so annoying for EU, seeingUK economy holding up
There may be others who think Champagne is "Horrible" though I am not one of them !
If you don't like bubbles, don't buy fizzy wine !
If you find Champagne too dry or too sharp, buy Demi Sec Champagne, which is sweeter, or save your pennies and buy Prosecco, Asti Spumate or Cava
Trendies in Froggyland have long put a drop of Cassis into Champagne to sweeten it a bit, Ribena works just as well !

Id just like to personally thank the Chinese for this Pandemic, and may we all do our utmost to continue to by crap from them for the foreseeable. Or at least till we all become communists.

Eating McDonalds every day is better for your health than eating farmed fish.
Too much youtube activism! PCB is banned. PCB in farmed salmon is from fish meal pellets & oil obtained from wild feeder fish (the same food as wild salmon eat) absorbing residual environmental PCB. Since the study highlighting this 2 decades ago fish meal & oil use to feed farmed salmon has more than halved to be replaced by plant derived proteins and fats. Eat salmon, get cancer just aint so.
