    Tesco express seemed like a good idea, but whenever i've nipped to get a bottle of wine or some toothpaste there is always a queue the length of an aisle full of people who dont get the concept off 'big shop'=supermarket 'small shop'=express.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      Are you being sarcastic? There is hardly another store that looks so bleak, so rip-off and so crap choice wise - at least ASDA and others are cheap. Their model seems to be to acquire local monopoly on high street as otherwise nobody would pay their prices.

        Try reading Shopped: The Shocking Power of British Supermarkets. Highly recommended and likely to make you think twice about using a supermarket again.

          The concept of "Tesco Express" was simply a malicious marketing ploy to circumvent restricted town planning permission and local monopoly laws to oust any local grocers, butchers and farm shops, thus effectively putting the competition out of business.

          You'll never buy a grey, slimy organic Tesco's chicken, on the pretense it's healthy, ever again.

              I like Tesco's - I can convert my Clubcard points into BA Miles. If I spend over £20,000 in their stores I can earn enough for a flight home!

              It'll cost me nearly £700 quid on BA's website otherwise. Using New Labour's economic model, that has got to be the barging of the decade.
