The best thing about hyper markets is going French and saying 'eyper marshay' instead
The last Carrefour I went to was in Dubai and it was massive although still not as big as the eyper marshays in France. It also wasn't as nice, was full of the riff raff (and sold some really low end stuff, giant suitcases and those plastic coated nylon holdalls everywhere!) I preferred the Waitrose there!

There’s also a small Tesco which I haven’t stepped into since they were clearing out Easter candy last year. The one chain other than M&S, Lidl and Aldi that we occasionally pop into because of the convenient location by the canal close to Kings Cross is a Co-Op.
M&S I love, and I would kill for something like their meal deals here, but it still falls into the 'can't do a full weekly shop there' category because of the fact they don't carry (many) mainline brands (it used to be none, but I think you can now get some things like diet coke etc.) Washing powder was top of my 'can't get it there' list!
