andyg Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Excellent, frozen tatt now. The wife will be chuffed.ย 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Not frozen tatt.It has increased what looks like good quality frozen food.Okay fresh food is always a better choice. But that is the only shop at Potter in walking distance for those moored there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meantime Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I can just see the advertising slogan now! Mums go to Iceland, Boaters go to Tatland! Given the size of the freezer compartment on most boats I should be able to fill mine for 99pย I can just hear the conversation now, Mum "What do you want kids. Chicken nuggets or chips?" Kids "Both" Mum "Well you can't, I've only space in the freezer for one or the other"ย I'm not sure the investment in new freezers and the expansion of the frozen food section is really aimed at or much use to boaters. Might need to take a chainsaw to the pizzas to fit them in my boat freezer compartment!ย ย 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 I loveย it when peopleย are negative.Really come on it gives choice to boaters and locals.Yes boats don't have freezers,but has improvedย options. It's a standingย ย yoke Lathams is tatland.Which I think is a bit unfair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Frozen food in the fridge will defrost gently while keeping your 12v power usage down as the fridge is being cooled, don't knock it. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 In all fairness, Latham's may well well tat, but it's damned good tat. Probably the best tat in Norfolk. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyg Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 All said tounge in cheek from me, not being negative at all. Maybe some ppl need to go to lathams and see if they sell sense of humours. Personally not my thing but I enjoy the coffee shop and the bakery, the rest of it, no thanks. But if its good for both the boating and local community I'm all for it. ๐ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewcook Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 As to Latham's selling all sorts of things quite Cheap Clothes and other things but not Food not even Frozen Food comes cheap but it is handy to getting it either to thawing it out for the meal for that day or keep it in the fridge for the next day's meal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vividly remember them having loads of china and ceramics. ย My mum managed to buy a replacement teapot to complete her Royal Doulton tea set that sheโd been given as a wedding present, but broken the original one. ย A few years later, I bought a Portmeirion coffee set from there. ย It was a โsecondโ but good enough and a massive saving on a proper one. ย I donโt remember it being as full of tat as it is now, though. Up until a few years ago, there was more clothing there, I think. ย Certainly, the range of available products has increased massively, as has the proportion of tat, but go to any QD branch now and youโll find fairly much what you find at Lathams, but without the feel of Potter (or the bakery.) Thatโs my take on Lathams. ย I didnโt visit The Broads from 1975 until 1987 and it changed dramatically in that time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
