do they keep the bookies that's invariably hanging off the side?
I'm pretty certain there will be someone at Tesco head office presently doing a feasibility study on Tesco Bookies

I'm for telling them the facts.
That's great but don't get all upset if they don't subscribe to you POV and use the supermarket, it's all good, everyone gets to choose their own path
Yes but that isn't because relative incomes are better
Yes, food prices have been driven down relative to income and I don't think it was the high st traders forcing prices down to any great extent

Oh yeah supermarkets have done the whole of society a great service by reducing prices. And the high street had nothing to offer society.

You are telling me how to think whilst advocating choice? I don't remember getting upset, people can shop how they like. I'm just raising something that you obviously have not thought about, I think that's a good thing. In the meantime please do shop where you like. I am all for the legislature using any technique they have to beat the supermarkets down, the supermarkets will use any method they can to extract more from us and build where they like.
The problem with choice is that sometimes people are too poorly informed to realise that the choice they have made is a bad one, so we have to inform them.
The same people that shop in supermarkets are the same ones complaining about crime, I think there is powerful link.

scotlands largest private sector employer.... it begins in T and ends in esco
Posted 8 months ago # -
I missed that. Is it really? How much do you earn? Try earning 12k a year with a family and saying that at the checkout.
If I was earning 12k a year I certainly wouldn't be thinking 'Yes, this is definitely the right time to have kids'
Completely irrelevant for this argument but you can hardly bitch and moan in that situation can you?

We have 3 tescos in a town of 30,000 WTF is that all about. Its almost impossible not to buy from them.

Scottish Widows along with other pension funds are major shareholders

Heres a thought instead of trying to make huge profits to satisfy the shareholder pension companies why not just pay people more, or offer them a decent company pension.
Companies in this country make far too much profit at the expense of workers wages.
Anyway point is i would rather my money stayed local.

50 years ago you'd have to use up 33% of your income just on food, now it's 15%
I like that, it gives the working classes a better standard of life in many ways
Bless you and bless Tesco for all they have done for the poor of Britain. We rejoice uniformity of the tomatoes [ they may taste of nothing but lets be honest they look nice and last 3 weeks] and cost f all.It is interesting to note that rationing had only just ended [ 3 years] at the time of the study and prices of milk have reduced by 25 % - surely we should thank farmers rather than Tesco for this- costs have reduced and they have passed this on to us whilst retaining their mark up.
FWIW
