Are there Daily Mail readers out there upset?

Question

Saw an advert for Netto superstore in one of the pages earlier today - obviously they´re jumping on the Aldi etc. bandwagon, as Britain is becoming 'poor', all the top stores are seeing their customers go down the ladder to council-estate stores for their food. How do the Mail readers feel about ads for cheap German/Northern European stores, which before now catered for the 'underclass'. Is it true Waitrose & Marks and Spencers - to name two 'upperclass' stores are finding it hard to hold onto customers in this time, or is Netto on a wind-up mission?

Answer 1

I shop at Netto. Its good and cheap

Answer 2

never heard of netto, i use asda or tesco,

and i don't read the dail mail.

Answer 3

The people that can still afford to buy newspapers are not going to be the ones to shop at Netto methinks......

But you never know, I suppose Netto thought it was worth a try

Answer 4

i would be upset if i was delivered the mail by the paper lad by mistake, it's only read by pompus half wits who think they are middle class

Waitrose and M&S upperclass !!!!!!!!

what would you call Harrods and Fortnum and Mason

take a reality check !!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Lol...in my experience most MAil readers ARE the underclass....they dont generaly live in affluent areas...there's a website that tells you who reads what in which areas...and the daily MAil is read in working class areas.

Answer 6

it makes me so mad,  i can't believe it,  we should nuke 'em

Answer 7

I do read the Daily Mail, am not particularly right wing.  And yes, I do shop at Tesco's and gasp!  shock!  horror! Lidl's.  Our local shops.  

And no, I'm not upset at all.

Answer 8

Your question makes no sense whatsoever, why would Daily Mail readers (of which I'm not one) care. The Daily mail is right wing but it isn't s****. about food, in the way that the broadsheets both Liberal and right wing are, with there organic food supplements etc.

I prefer Liddel with its 19p beans

I dont drink Sherry, will you stop telling me where to shop, what to drink lol

Answer 9

If you think the Daily Mail is upper class I guess you must read the Sun! What were you doing reading the pages of the Mail then? I'm surprised you could manage the big words. lol

I've never heard of Netto,  but any store that brings competition into the market place is fine by me.

Answer 10

Are you accusing The Daily Mail readers of being snobs?

I'm shocked lol.

Answer 11

I am a Daily Mail reader and have no problem in shopping at Aldi,netto or indeed sainsburys and Marks and Spencer.

Answer 12

Well as a Daily Mail reader, amongst other papers, i`m quite happy. Don`t mind who advertises in there.

Blimey, you`ve got a bit of a hang up about class haven`t you?

People on lower incomes still shop in M and S and Waitrose, as do people on higher incomes, go in discount stores.

I guess you belong to the Daily Mail prints all lies brigade. I happen to like the paper. But i have my own views and i`m not swayed by what any newspaper prints.

Answer 13

Are yes......The daily( fact filled unbiased un-opinionated ) mail. The paper for the people that think they are middle class.

Answer 14

As a Daily Mail reader I just assume that the paper is responding to public concern about the cost of food.

I also think that M&S and Waitrose is not so much about class it's about quality.  In the case of M&S it's also about safety and that is why I buy our food from M&S.  I have had to cut back but I want to know where food is coming from and from M&S you know.  They can't be an easy company to provide food for but they protect their customers.  I have only ever heard on one M&S product being recalled, whilst even Waitrose has had quite a few.  Morrisons seems to be top of the list for food scares, they come up on every list.

I think Aldi and Netto win out because they cut donw on staff wages rather than quality.  If they existed where I live I would certainly check them out.

Answer 15

I was surprised when I realized so many people read it and see it as a respectable news paper? why?? it adheres to traditional lines on just about EVERYTHING and is not groundbreaking in any sense.

Its trash and thats OK with me (I like a bit of trash, we cant have everything serious) as long as people dont start thinking its better and more reliable than it is, like its the pinnacle of journalism or something....I think not! As for aldi, their food is good and actually surprisingly nice...its not fancy and you wont get the same range as sainsburys, but its quality is very good still.

the person who said that the guardian and independant are food snobs newspapers are right though, the daily mail ppl dont care about food as much, its actually not an upper class news paper, I am not saying anything bad by mentioning this, but when I did my paper round, it was the poor housing estates that often read the mail, not some rich upper class snob like you seem to think, they are too busy reading the independant or the telegraph (dont like the telegraph either, again too traditional).
