We are doing about Tesco at college in business; last year a staggering £1 of every £7 spent on the high street went directly into Tesco's tills.

 

Frightening really

 

Hehehe.

 

My family knew Jack Cohen the guy who started Tesco he used to go into F. C. Dyson General Grocers on the corner of Ridley Road Dalston London where a market is run on a daily base. Jack Cohen bought tea (the drinking sort) in 1/4lb (0.113398 kg) packets took them outside and emptied them loose onto his market stool. He then sold the Tea charging an extra 1/2 d (old penny roughly equivalent to 0.008 of one modern penny). per 1/4lb (0.113398 kg). From those humble beginnings did the Tesco supermarkets of today grow, his motto was buy cheap sell for as much as you dare charge or can get away with. In fairness he did have the gift of the gab or chat.

 

On slightly more recent figures it was £1.00 in every £7.00 in 2007 this year it is £1.00 in every £4.00.

 

The other question put by Dales, I have never made cheese in my life eaten a lot but never made any.

 

The problem is I have written a fair bit about October Chub prior to posting a new thread but needed a few more sessions (I always need more fishing sessions) and wanted the cheese and I just got incensed and am still. Profit fair enough but this is taking the bl**dy pi55. It's almost as bad as that weak lying Cameron and the referendum on Europe, every conservative I know is going to leave the Conservative Party, although I do not expect them to join that bunch of trough feeding Labour villians.

From a spark a fire will flare up

You really are a sly old Toad. You think we don't know you never blank? You've been out and bought what you know with all your years of fishing knowledge to be the best chub cheese on the market and now you think you can keep it secret squirrel with a bit of political twiddle. I'm off to Tesco's. :)

Well worked out :thumbs: , I think there is going to be a run on Tesco cheese, best stock up before the shelves are empty.

 

Or is it a double bluff?

I don't know dales but are you willing to take that chance? Don't you remember your blanking spell a while back. I'm sure you don't want to go through that again. You need to get on the cheese asap as we all do :P
