    Actually I think you will find in very many cases it is Tesco who is doing wrong, ok many of the manufacturers understand that Teco fraudulently presents coupons to them which they know have not been redeemed against the product advertised and turn a blind eye as they are fully aware if they rock the boat their product will be pulled from the shelves without ceremony or discussion, that said there are producers and manufacturers out there that if they were aware of the situation would most certainly not be happy about it, the fact is that unlike the consumer when Tesco present the coupon they are indeed declaring that they have received it in part payment for the stated goods and no other, in short obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception!

    And if Tesco would like they can feel free to sue me personally for that allegation as an individual as I know every little helps!
