My name is Wali. I come from Pakistan. I've been living in Leeds for four years now. There are huge supermarkets in Leeds and the excellence and massive amount of food that you can find is amazing.

Famine

When you look at all the food here you cannot imagine that there is famine going on somewhere in the corners of the world.

In Pakistan there is only one type of milk for sale

There is everything, from different types of milks: skimmed milk, semi-skimmed milk, this type of milk, that type of milk, to ready meals, you have korma, tikka masala. You have all types of crisps and chocolates. You have all different types of alcohol.

It's just the idea of finding everything under one roof.

If you look at all this variety of food you would think that people here eat very healthy because they have all type of choices - but no - this is not what happens.

Crisps

You have all type of people eating crisps here. Everybody in this country eats crisps because that is the best thing this country produces - potatoes.

The variety of alcohol available is bewildering

What think is that in Pakistan we have different types of little shops. We don't have big huge supermarkets because what happens is that when supermarkets the little shops just cease to exist because there is so much variety under one roof.

Corner shops

People in the UK used to have little corner shops 50 years ago but now there are largely only five or six huge supermarkets and you can buy everything there.

The whole image of supermarkets is very convenient and very attractive but I don't know if I would want supermarkets to be in Pakistan because they are materialistic and very artificial.

You don't get that cosy sense of someone serving you and having all of your things packed for you in one basket and got ready for you.

Pick your own

You have to pick your own stuff and carry everything to the counter and you buy it from someone that you can't even bargain with.

In Pakistan you bargain about everything but here you cannot get £4.25 meat for £4.00. You have to pay £4.25.

So I hope that this culture does not come to Pakistan.
