The red sign with a white horizontal stripe means no-entry, go the other way follow the big white arrows, they provide a clue.
There is a very good reason not to exit onto Stockport road at the entrance, I've been knocked off my bike once (& to the driver of said Nissan Juke, 'fat' in not insulting, it's a fact) and I've had a mini collision in the car too for which I'd have been onto claims direct is I could be bothered.
Just go round the right way, it's only 10 yards further.

Thank you Duke. I tried to get in yesterday but held up traffic on Stockport Rd because some idiot was trying to get off the forecourt there and blocking the entire entrance. It pains me to have to use the pronoun "she" because there are plenty of men who do the same, but she didn't even keep over to her left to make room for others to enter while she was waiting to get out.

Actually its not 10 yds further. If you use the correct exit then you are on the one way system up Church Lane. I can see why people are tempted to use the other entrance.

This thread has come up before in 2012 and it's still the same debate. Here's the thread:
http://www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=4056.msg21025#msg21025 (http://www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=4056.msg21025#msg21025)
TL;DR A number of drivers on the thread admitted to using the Stockport Lane entrance as an exit, for example @thebigshed. @Dave and @hollins felt you should be allowed to use the current entrance as an exit and @Duke Fame disagreed with them. Things never change ;)

And as you rightly enquired three years ago, Howard
Am I just feeding the troll? ;)

are idiots, paying so much more than at Morrisons or Tesco!

Idiots is a little strong not even I would call fellow posters that. Well bar one. perhaps they are never near a Morrisions or Tesco or never go out of Marple or have ideological reasons for using the Co-op.

Possibly people who use the co-op service station instead of Tesco, Morrisons etc.,feel that any extra costs are off-set by the saving in the cost of petrol they would use to get to Tesco, Morrisons, etc.
In any case, is it any of your business where other people choose to spend their money? Hasn't this nonsense dragged on for long enough? No-one is trying to make you shop at the Co-op service station.

Yes. It's a re-run of a tired and pointless topic from three years ago, as Howard points out. Let's not feed the troll!

I think you should re read the thread or my post more carefully before you quote getting everything wrong.

On my way to lunch in Glossop with a friend, we popped into Tesco for her shopping. While she shopped I followed her round browsing the shelves. A product I had bought the previous day in an independent shop (no names, no pack-drill) in Marple was 20% more expensive in Tesco, ditto another product that was £2.64 in Tesco was £2.15 in another independent in Marple. Every little DOES help but not in the way Tesco means!

May I ask what it was unless it's personal .

There could have been a cheaper petrol station .
