    Excuses I think, they are also in Big Trouble I think, if they can be bailed out, they will pretend nothing happened. Tesco were in the same boat a year or so ago, on the brink and ready to fall it is said.
    Erm, Tesco were never on the brink of collapse, whilst profits have fluctuated recently between minimal (£70M) and large (£500M) they never fail to make a profit and remain the UK's largest supermarket. The fact they were able to bid £3.7 billion for Booker Wholesalers indicates that whilst there are clearly challenging times ahead for the UK supermarkets with the strong showing from both Lidl and Aldi Tesco remain at the head of the pack.

    That's what they want you to believe, figures are massaged, facts altered after the even. Like KFC, first they had no chicken, then no gravy, next it will probably be no buns, then no staff. By the time Aldi and Lidl become the target shops to use, they will put their prices up high to compete with the other major stores.
    Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........

    That's what they want you to believe, figures are massaged, facts altered after the even. Like KFC, first they had no chicken, then no gravy, next it will probably be no buns, then no staff. By the time Aldi and Lidl become the target shops to use, they will put their prices up high to compete with the other major stores.
    You're talking a load of sh|te...
    I wanna tell you a story 'bout a woman I know...

  • Let me guess, Alan Sugar was going to buy them out so that he could supply tesco value soup to the clangers that NASA employs to fake the mars rover footage, before he died in a collapsing pile of unsold emailer phones and was replaced by an android killing machine from the future.
