Once Tesco have all the sites (and be in no doubt that is their ultimate aim) they will stifle the competition snuff them out and then when you have no where else to turn hike the prices like there is no tomorrow.

Tesco are in business for Tesco shareholders they bring nothing to the table for the ordinary consumer. You may think they bring convenience but they are slowly aiming to dominate the market.

Do we need another Tesco full stop ?

I am really beginning to detest this juggernaut of a company who seem determined to achieve a state of total domination in every street in the land. Its got nothing to do with fair competition.The local,express and metro stores they are blighting the landscape with are ruthless in destroying all around them.

I have often wondered why the prices in these stores are far higher than in the larger tesco outlets. I suspect they will use the economy of scale argument, but that doesn't make sense to me as presumably they are sourcing the same goods from the same suppliers ? It might cost a fraction more to deliver those goods to the smaller outlets, but surely not to the extent they ramp up the prices ?

Ive made a conscious decision to boycott this odious company, not that they will care much, but every little helps.

I have switched to Sainsbury at this time, not that they are cheaper or better quality, they have a better class of customer, and a handy stepping stone until I can afford Fortnam and Mason, its a social thing you know, but I do miss Harrods.

That reminds me - I still have a Harrods Christmas pudding in my cupboard ......

I like going to Sainsbury in Uxbridge because there are nice guys working in the car park who wash my car for me while I go shopping.

At the moment, I'm not mobile so I get Tesco to deliver my shopping - a brilliant service.

hey keep it the longer they are left the better, they are.

They don't use hosepipes in Sainsburys car park Geezer - just buckets and cloths.

I must get my car cleaned again soon ...........

How much do they charge my car is desperate for a clean?

Depends what you call 'a clean'. They tend to use these car body squeegees that introduce scratches. I do my own cleaning with gentle tools
