As if Somerfield would want Jenny "Who?" Frost for any other reason than to stir up a bit of tabloid publicity. That article alone has told me about their half price frozen foods. Excuse me while I pop out for some Gateux and Fish Fingers.

Somerfield is awful. Me and my friend got abused by the staff there. It was harrowing!

I hope someone traps her in a freezer and her stick legs slowly snap.

No, their self-service tills broke on us (not out fault!) and we got treated like we were trying to steal our £11 worth of groceries. If I was going to rip off a supermarket, I'd have a trolleyful of vodka and Penguin bars, not a loaf of bread and skimmed milk.

Our Sommoerfield staff arent the most pleasant people either.
One day they had the mat at the door folded over and anyone could have tripped and sued them.
And one time all of their half baguettes were mouldy.

Those bastards! I'm a good little Safeway's girl. I never used my tongs to slowly crush customers cakes while putting them in the box, I swear.

I only did it to the nasty ones who were mean to me. My old boss once came in to work drunk, and grabbed some kid's hands with her tongs when he put his hands through the gap in the protective screens. Now that was fucking funny, I miss that job.

Our Somerfield is fucking horrendous (but the only supermarket in walking distance). The staff are atrocious, as opposed to the lovely Tesco and Sainsbury people. Honestly, the amount of times I've had to tut back at some moaning bearded lady who wants to give me my change (on top of the fucking receipt, yes, because THAT'S SENSIBLE YOU STUPID COW, have you actually ever RECEIVED change?) while I'm still packing my bags is beyond belief. It's also overpriced and manky, like Happy Shopper with a green facelift and skimmed milk.
In my youth, when I worked at a newsagent, a customer once wrote a letter to head office commending me on my change giving skills. I'm prouder of that than I am of my degree.

Also: the first time I saw it, I wasn't really listening to the "dialogue" and I was all "is that actually somebody famous, or is it a Barry-Scott-of-Cillit-Bang-type celebrity?" Then I realised it was Kerry Katona. Ha! While we're on the topic of Cillit Bang (which, if I'm honest, we're not), has anyone seen the new advert where Barry and his glamorous assistant demonstrate its abilities all over again? The bit at the end where he puts a penny in the water and she goes, "You always do that, Barry!" is completely insane. It's like he's now a celebrity because of the adverts, and putting a penny in water is his "thing". I imagine him opening school fetes and local shops, while crowds gather to watch him put a penny in water.

That'd brighten up the long days stuck at my PC for sure.

I have to admit to finding the one with the guy losing his Iceland virginity quite funny.

I lost my food shopping virginity in Iceland a few days ago. I managed to buy far healthier than the stuff that ends up on the plates of Kerry's kids.

Safeway and Checkers sell some Iceland meals...that's as close as I get. I can't eat them anymore though, too high GI.

Who is that guy in the new ads? I she supposed to be her boyfriend? I'm horrified at the concept of a curry for 99p.

You're not Dervla Kirwan are you? How fucking awesome would that be? (sexvoice)Reconstituted, ground-up chicken bits, coated in batter. Flash-frozen cauliflower chunks. Luminous fizzy pop with enough e-numbers to give a toddler an aneurysm. Luxurious king prawn ring. This is not just food. This is Iceland food.(/sexvoice)

They're actually selling Kerry's book in Iceland! Apparently she was at our local Asda last week, signing copies.
