Asda is defying the economic slump by opening new stores and creating 7,000 jobs, it announced today.

Perhaps amongst these 7,000 new jobs ASDA could employ a few interpreters, because I am finding it increasingly difficult to find staff around my local store that can in fact speak English.

When I ask a member of the staff, where in the store a specific article can be found, I am usually greeted with a shake of their head, the person's hands up and the muttered words 'not understand'

How do these people manage to get through their job interviews? Or are they provided with a interpreter courtesy of the Goverment?

what has really annoyed me in my local Asda is that our butchers fresh meat counter has long gone everything is pre packed in plastic . but a couple of weeks ago the sods opened a whole section of fresh to weigh out halal meat with at least 4 assistants on manning the double counter .whats all that about I demand our butcher be reinstated immediately. I demand my fresh cut meat back ,if its good enough for the 10% of Asians why not for the majority of non halal meat eaters
