Talk:The Grocer

The Grocer 33
I have requested a citation for the change of The Grocer 33 from "eight leading supermarkets" to "five leading supermarkets". All sources I can find say eight, but they probably include Safeway, which no longer exists (all stores were rebranded as Morrisons, or closed). I don't know of any other recently defunct supermarkets, with the exception of Kwik Save, and as a discount store, it would probably have been excluded from the survey. Two existing chains that are missing are Booths and Somerfield (I don't know of a third). Five may be correct, but reducing the number of supermarket chains would make the survey less useful, so I would guess that there are seven included in the survey. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 22:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

69 million?
Surely, despite the reference, this cannot be true? 69 million would be more than 1 copy per head of population! 6.9 million, perhaps.... DWaterson (talk) 14:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

It's actually just over 30,000. There aren't that many shopkeepers in the country. The reference previously given didn't say anything about circulation, so I've replaced it with the correct figures and a reference which does give circulation details. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.168.55.5 (talk) 11:33, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
