    I wonder if Jack Cohen ever thought "No point, J Sainsbury has already done it"

    Yes

    Ford have already done the mass market car.
    Microsoft the operating system.
    Sainsbury the supermarket.
    New Labour the government.


    No need for anything else.

    Too true.

    I remember telling a colleague in 1998 at a web design shop we worked about Google beta. His response:

    "Nah, Google will never work as AltaVista have already done the search engine."

    Love it.
