Well...I've just been down to ours - used to be a 7-11, now a Tesco's since about a year ago - for some firelighters. In common with a lot of people in our area, we have open fires.
Had they any? Had the heck as like!!! "We only get them in in summer", I was told. Presumably for the barbecues...since in summer nobody needs open fires indoors. Utter madness! Why on earth not have them in all year round? It's not as if they have a short shelf life...
A fifteen minute there and back walk, a total waste of time on a bitterly cold, miserable day when I could have been doing so many more interesting things instead.
But now you've given me the chance to vent my spleen by answering your question, so many thanks to you and I hope you have a really nice day!
My brain's not working too well today so I'm not quite sure if you are saying you're for or against Tesco's - but if it's the latter I'm with you all the way. We use Sainsbury's - dearer but more reliable, you can make good savings if you shop carefully and they have a good loyalty scheme. We occasionally also use Marks and Spencer for total luxuries (and sometimes for decent fish if we can't get it elsewhere - not many fishmongers round here).
If we were ever really, really, really rich (as opposed to being stony broke most of the time) we'd probably use M&S exclusively, because of the quality. When not shopping at Harrods, of course - we wish... Oh, dream on...!!!
P.S. Just love basquemactee's answer - got it in a nutshell!

No! Tesco's are a British success story, and if hell has shopping centres, you can bet McMuck got there first!

Tescos will be on the other side of Atlantic. 7-11 will take over on this side though.

Ah ha! good one!
Yes, when you think about it - they are like a creeping fungus...
they are everywhere and they sell everything. Insurance, credit cards, yoga mats. computers,
I got stranded at a friend's house one night when my car broke down. We walked across to the 24 hour Tesco near his home. I was able to buy a bra, knickers, a white blouse and black trousers to wear to work next day. This was at 2am!! In the queue in front of me was a guy buying a yoga mat and baby nappies, and a Chinese guy buying twelve pots of peanut butter!

Don't they already rule the world? Oh, my mistake. Appearances can be deceptive.
