Did anybody see the piece on trevor McDonut's last night where Tesco got a severe mauling for the way in which they do business, leading to profits this year of £2billion...


Yes....£2BILLION!!!!

They're probably not the only ones to behave in such a way, but possibly the worst exponent. the Bloke Tesco put up for the interview was squirming nicely!!!! The programme also proved that they were not neccessarily cheaper than the local market/butcher's shop

I wonder how hard a boycott would hit profits?

I doubt you'd get it. While it may be cheaper to buy from the grocer, green grocer, deli, butcher etc etc, most people can't be ar$ed to go round 15 shops to get the weekly shop.

We do try and support our local shops, but it does cost in time to do it.

yeah lets slag off a successful business - much better to run a company like MG Rover do ...!

shock horror - a company changes its prices! shock horror - theyre not the cheapest for everything - the sky is falling!!!!!!!!!!

Great point. Tesco already do car insurance, why not do the cars as well?

You could do the shopping and then pick up a car to drive it home!

Mr Sympathy

I think they are planning to do this soon, some new EU rules allowing them to sell cars but not be a franchise, not heard anything for a while on it though.

I think Tesco are great, Might even apply for a job there when heavy drinking and drug abuse decay my brain into qualifying status, cant wait to walk up a customer and say "can I help you" like they do in the adverts, I mean it really happens in real life

Anyway, I never go in there due to unhelpful staff who when asked a question roll their eyes and say dunno mate then turn round and walk off and having to stand in a queue 10 deep when the one in front service crashed and burned before the advert on tv ever got out

Morrisons is where its at, Asda though a bit Chav is far cheaper than Tesco, Sainsbury;s for the posho's and Netto for the err, less fortunate, and me when I do the industrial strength bonfire night Chilli for 50 people.

Morissons is cheaper than Tesco and has a better range of beer and meat - that sways it for me.

It just means I have to suffer a trip to Enfield and rub shoulders with its great unwashed
