Leave petrol retailing to the professionals - not to the oil companies
2008-11-04 13:46:00 Alastair Darling?s (30th October) call for Shell and the other oil majors to reduce the pump price of petrol reveals an ignorance of how the oil business really works.

Tesco Car Insurance: The Best You Can Get!
2008-05-22 01:55:00 Tesco Car Insurance: The Best You Can Get!By: Apurva Shree The Tesco car insurance is a comprehensive policy that has many convenient and unique features for the customers. Auto insurance is necessary for all vehicle owners and the premium amount that you pay is quite a bit, so you must try to select a car insurance company, which gives you full value for your money.

In this procedure, consider the Tesco car insurance. This comprehensive policy has some very well thought out features like: Windscreen and Audio Equipment cover Cover for fire, theft and accidental damage Third party liability of up to 20 million Up to 3 yea...
Glossopdale Supermarket sweep part 3: Tesco
2008-05-18 19:25:00 In our final post about Supermarket expansion and the (thus far attempted) transformation of Glossopdale, we turn to the veritable Dark Lords, Tesco.'What about Tesco' you may ask? Well, putting aside the traffic problems their current store in Glossop causes we can reveal that they too have plans for expansion. We say 'reveal', but it is actually a reminder of information that is already in the public domain, with a certain amount of educated guesswork and speculation tagged on. But as usual, we are prepared to fall, as well as stand, by our predictions.On 7th November 2007, the Glossop Advertiser (and not the Glossop Chronic, which is rather strange) featured a front page headline 'Supermarket on Stilts'* about Tesco's plans for Glossop. In the article, they outline their plan to relocate the store 'nearer to the Town Centre', although it was hinted that this would be 'in a different part of the (Wren Nest) site'. An exhibition of the plan was held on one day - the same...

Mottram Tesco - update
2008-02-21 22:50:00 You may remember our exclusive article back last month about TMBC's plans to bring Tesco to Mottram.Well now the press has caught hold of the story since the issue was raised at last week's Longdendale & Hattersley District Assembly. And quite rightly, concerns are being raised about the increased traffic it will bring to the area. And it seems Tameside will have a fight on their hands if residents like Jane Whyte have anything to do with it:"If I have to walk round every house on this estate and Broadbottom and Mottram and get a petition, I will do that rather than see these children hurt."Jane wants an entrance/exit to the store either on Mottram Road or Stockport Road, rather than Ashworth Lane. But that will clearly really mess with traffic projections - if they aren't already hugely affected by this development. And we revealed last month that this is the reason for the delays in the Public Inquiry into the bypass, as the existing traffic models will be severely comprom...

Tesco backs cheap alcohol limits
2008-02-21 07:21:00 BBC sats, "Supermarket giant Tesco says it is willing to work with the government on possible legislation that would limit its ability to sell cut-price alcohol. The British Medical Association, which says cut-price offers fuel binge drinking, has said it wants tougher restrictions on how alcohol is sold. Tesco says ministers must take the lead because competition laws stop retailers from artificially raising prices. The UK's biggest retailer says it would be "commercial suicide" to act alone. And it said it was too simplistic to blame price alone for binge drinking and other alcohol-related problems. However, the supermarket giant said it was prepared to take an active role in discussions about possible legislation on pricing and promotions. Lucy Neville-Rolfe, Tesco's executive director for corporate and legal affairs, said action would have to come from the government. She said: "We can't put up our prices because people will simply shop elsewhere - it could be commercial suic...

More than drift wood!!!Tesco or Asda ?
2008-01-28 09:12:00 If you go done to the beach today, you better be in for a surprise! Well, actually it was last week, but whats a few days between friends? There was loads of wood washed up on the shore from the sunken ship that lost it's load of timber. As fare as the eye could see all the way along the beach at the high tide line there were planks a plenty. It was quite an odd sight and prompted a few jokes about getting wood on the beach and other silly oaks about planks and pineing for a forest and all that, but it was something to talk about during the quiet and boring month that is and always will be January. Oh how I hate this month of the year, it's always when I get most depressed, down and introverted. Yes, that could very well be why I've taken a little break from the blog as well as pretty much everything else, but hey, the month is almost over and so my spirits are lifted. Perhaps that could be something to do with the fact that payday is just a few days away! So here we are, back an...
Chatsworth hosts the Tesco 99 British Rally Championship
2008-01-22 00:00:00 To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the British Rally Championship, the Rally Show at Chatsworth - together with the organisers of the Tesco 99 British Rally Championship - have arranged for four of the nine stage events which will form part of the Show to qualify for BRC points.

The Free-Range Chickens Debate
2008-01-16 16:47:00 I am delighted to see so many TV programmes on British TV at the moment discussing nutrition and the quality of our food. What used to be a minority interest subject is being screened at peak viewing times and there are several programmes on offer at the moment.TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall kicked off with a three-part series, "Hugh's Chicken Run" in which he built a temporary chicken barn and raised 4,000 chicks from 3 days old to slaughter time, of which just over a half were raised by current intensive standards and the rest given a life and some freedom.The intensive group were kept indoors, saw no natural light, had nothing to do other than feed 23.5 hours per day and walked around in each other's urine and faeces. The shed stank of ammonia from the urine. Their life ended at 39 days.The lucky chicks started off the same but after some days were given straw bales, perches, footballs and dangling CDs - all playthings to amuse chickens. Then, the gates were opened and th...
Tesco comes to Mottram & Hattersley
2008-01-02 14:31:00 Everyone has been puzzling about what motivation the Highways Agency have for the constant delays they have initiated in the Public Inquiry process.But now, our sources in Tameside have new information which we believe helps us to provide an explanation.You may remember the much-vaunted 'regeneration' of Hattersley from earlier last year - an injection of £250 million to transform (code word: 'gentrify') the area.The details of the deal include the transfer of housing stock previously owned by Manchester City Council to the newly-created Peak Valley Housing Association. The terms of the deal ensured this was done at 'zero value'. Nevertheless, the new Housing Association still had to plug a £20 million hole to fund repairs and improvements to existing housing stock. TMBC's literature* makes it clear this was done by courting developers to the site.Fostering this new (i.e. middle class) community has meant bourgeois totems have to be included. So as well as a police station an...
