I WAS interested to read your article – MP Nigel Evans slams Asda for selling beer cheaper than water.
Putting aside the fact that we actually sell two litres of water for 15p, it is important to challenge the assumption that our low prices are forcing pubs out of business.
Asda also sells very high quality filter coffee at remarkably low prices, yet no one can claim that this is leading to a decline in the number of coffee shops on our high streets.
