In the UK it looks like we have a failing middle - Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, are stagnating or losing ground. Meanwhile at the top and bottom of the market, we have Waitrose, Sainsbury + Aldi, Lidl, Iceland, gaining. In fact the bottom and top are becoming like each other as the hard discounters move into some upmarket lines, and the likes of Waitrose aim at the lower end with e.g. Essentials.

What's happening in other countries, any observations from critters elsewhere??
