It aims to coordinated the 150 anti Tesco disputes going on in this country at present and cater to those who believe that the supermarket giant is destroying our communities.

Hi pet!!! I went in today.. 5 deep at the till and jack shit on the shelves..

alliep30 · 15/02/2006 20:51

It was v good.. they were building a big tunnel over a train track to put the 3 millionth Tesco store in a town at great expense... saw a few months later that the tunnel had collapsed... no injuries but a big fat bill for Tesco.. just a drop in the ocean I bet

They are greedy.. But they know how to appeal to the average skint family don't they..?

spursmum · 15/02/2006 20:56

In our local one its open 24/7 yet empty shelves all the time.
Xmas they refused to close overnight to stock up so everyone went to Asda!!

alliep30 · 15/02/2006 20:58

ooooh.. they had no xmas puds here either.. My nearest ASDA is 15 miles... Sainsburys about 10, Netto round the corner.. it can stay there!!!!
We have a Waitrose but i'm not rich enough to shop there

spursmum · 15/02/2006 20:58

I'm an average skint family but i wouldn't shop there if I was desperate.

alliep30 · 15/02/2006 21:02

where do you shop.. it's nice living here but i wish we had a bloody decent supermarket

Piffle · 15/02/2006 21:03

They are a monopoly in our town. Ha I spite them and drive 30 miles to Sainsburys.

alliep30 · 15/02/2006 21:05

i think i'll start going once a fortnight and keeping food all over my house..Sainsbury's is not as expensive anymore is it?

spursmum · 15/02/2006 21:07

I am lucky as in a five mile radius I have a Asda, Somerfield, Morrisons and Sainsburys so Im spoilt for choice!!

alliep30 · 15/02/2006 21:08

I've never been to Somerfield or Morrisons.. such a sheltered life i Live. Wherabouts are u?

longwaytogo · 15/02/2006 21:21

spursmum · 15/02/2006 21:22

BudaBabe · 15/02/2006 21:24

We have the biggest Tescos in Europe here in Budapest!!!!

Hate them here.

But can't say I mind too much in UK or Ireland! Any REAL supermarket tends to excite me!!!

alliep30 · 15/02/2006 21:24

alliep30 · 15/02/2006 21:25

see..they're every-bloody-where

mandieb · 15/02/2006 22:28

ok dont make it too long but please educate me and tell me why I shouldnt shop at Tesco.as opposed to Sainsburys.

alliep30 · 15/02/2006 22:31

well, i think my local one is rubbish. also they are taking trade from local shops as they sell everything... and beacuse of their size they can undercut everyone. There's a really good link at the bottom!

ShaysMummy · 15/02/2006 22:33

i dont think there is much that can be done. if thetre gonna take over the world, they will.
