Was that with an Inshaala super7? How many times have I heard that pork will soon be available over the past 24 years!
Even the bacon flavoured crisps were only available "under the counter".
The same happened with alcohol. It was first muted in the mid 80's but they didn't want people going into the Gulf Hotel (now the Marriott) for a beefburger and ten beers. It was tentatively agreed that they could spend on beer what they spent on food. It then died a death until 1995 when the Ramada opened Maxims and they served alcohol.

PS My Mrs tells me that Spinneys DID open in "The Centre" put pulled out over the pork issue before Megamart moved in.
