    I usually go to sleep with the talk radio on & last night was no exception between 12 & 1 LBC were asking for people to phone in about Tesco or what is the kindest way to eat a Gingerbread man, most people were phoning in about the latter but they was a woman called Rachel who phoned in about Tesco.

    Rachel if you are on here you sounded like a plant from Tesco.

    Firstly she was raving about the big Tesco near Gillette Corner (00sterleigh) which is my all time worst Tesco, she thought it marvellous it had two floors, & the fact it had a World Foods aisle (didn't say if she actually bought anything in that aisle) also that it sold packaged Halal meat which looked so much nicer than the way Halalmeat is usually sold (Obviously hasn't heard they have a Halal butcher at Bovine Bridge but no regular butchers counter) again she didn't say if she bought any.

    She has 4 children & sometimes on Saturday night takes them for a 2 hour outing to Tesco because its so nice & the cafe is really good (I doubt you can but anything to eat up there on a Saturday night !) its just wonderful

    She likes the fact the staff are drawn from the community (?) & she sees the same faces & in the freezing cold its nice to see the trolleymen who may have learning difficulties but she feels they are well looked after by Tesco

    Then started muttering about villages campaigning about not having a Tesco but a store in the Chilterns by no means the biggest is the most profitable as the villagers travel to use it & the car park is always full.

    Next time I go to Tesco especially Gillette Corner I'd better have whatever she's on before I go :rotfl::mad:

    How lovely not to live in the real world, getting threatened in the car park because you dare to question someone in a disabled space who has stopped to use their phone & have a fag, the manager didn't want to get involved and told me I would have to phone the police, scanners no working, taken away the only one left disconnected, price labels NEVER in the right place or not there, a notice saying because the printer has broken the prices haven't been changed so no DTD today I could go on all day .............



    Next time I go to Tesco especially Gillette Corner I'd better have whatever she's on before I go :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    I know what you mean!!! :rotfl:- I was listening too
    ps - Do you know what Clive Bull is doing?

    Hi all, hugs, kisses and best wishes to all the relevant peeps.

    Just want to add my guess to the hamper list £2.87.

    Gotta go as dropping son off to Tae Kwon Do.

    Not been to Ts for a couple of days as Boots is keeping me busy ;-)

    Hope to catch you all later.

    CocoaBear, if you see this, the vitamins and shots have been restocked in the one in the shopping centre. It is next door to JL who has some clearance items that might be worth a look through. Don't forget to print out your vouchers from the machine as I got a voucher for 25% off oral care and another one for 250 points for oral care products so got even more off and extra points. HTH

    Aw thanks DSG. I actually popped to Mr T there today as was on my way back from B*sh*y, but didn't have time for Boots today. Will see if I can convince Mr Bear to come with me tomorrow. Might not mention what I'm up to as he might get a guilty look on his face lol. Didn't find a single thing in Mr T's. Scanned the snow globe but was £6 and a few other bits and bobs. No WTP's/Piglets etc :-( I will let you know if I find anythign in there x

    If you are using Windows XP download the Image Resizer from Here. Once downloaded just right click the picture(s) you want to resize and choose the size that you want.
    Good luck!
