Tesco's £900 million quid in 6 months

You are right DundeeGeorge, but it actually doesn't take that long to cook decent food. OK, it only takes 4 minutes to microwave a ready meal and 10 minutes to oven cook a pizza but it only takes 5 mins to boil some carrots, 15 minutes for potatoes, 2 mins to make a salad and any meat or fish dishes can be frozen in bulk for later: 2 mins in the microwave.

In actual fact, a lovely piece of fresh tuna lightly fried in sesame oil with some spring onions, zest of lime, honey takes about 5 mins to prepare and cook - just in time to make a bed of rice or salad.

Of course the real problem is that married women (and especially mothers) work, and therefore have no time to take care of their families properly, no time to shop around, no time to cook properly, no time to socialise with their neighbours/family thereby creating the breakdown of community values (which was always created and fostered by the females in communities).

I am afraid to say that out loud, especially as my last dozen or so managers have been female, but it is true.

The trouble is that they are trapped. House prices and stuff are now geared toward two-income families.
