Shortly to be the best Tesco I should think. If not, it's time to sell the Tesco shares! Reply to this message | Report message

Has anyone considered that since London E8 is probably one of the worst places to live in GB, the store is simply in keeping with its surroundings? Reply to this message | Report message

London E8 includes the area of Dalston and London Fields which has been rapidly gentrified and is now cool, hip and expensive. Reply to this message | Report message

Looks like a simple case of bad management and the location might put off senior or area management checking up on things. Their sales figures must reflect how bad the store looks though. I tried to got to my local Tesco Express/Esso tonight to get petrol and it there was such a que to get into the place I gave up. Oh well the amber orange warning lamp means I can see the speedo easier!. Who needs petrol anyway? Reply to this message | Report message

I don't go there, Rats. It's always full of dimwits who fill up then leave the car on the pump while they do a month's shopping. You don't get Clubcard points, either. The new Tesco on Chester Road is the place to be seen...Decent cooked brekie after filling up with DERV. Ted Reply to this message | Report message

>> The new Tesco on Chester Road is the place to be seen...Decent cooked brekie after filling up with DERV.>> Is that the one near VW dealership Gilbert Lawton on Bridgewater Way? If so, that's where I acquired my 2007 Jetta - I also live in Chester Road, but one about 35 miles away....:-) Reply to this message | Report message

I should have gone there tonight Ted. I was going to but just couldn't be bothered as I had already parked up. Got to go to Didsbury tomorrow morning via Hell Lane as I need to avoid Barlow Moor Road due to the one way traffic because of the Airport line. Won't be passing any petrol stations on the way :(. Oh well I am sure I pick up a new cat converter for about £100 if I do damage it due to running out of fuel!. I also hate the idiots that park their stupid veegan mobile at the pump then do the weekly shop. It can cause quite bad traffic problems on Manchester Road. Stuart is indeed the same one. The store is one of the very last Extra format ones built as half way through the build Tesco realised they were saturating their own market and cancelled a lot of the future stores.

I have two Tesco Extras within two miles, I have two tesco express within two miles, and they have just slapped in planning permission for another 800 yards away. The growth for the large stores (all of them not just Tesco) has come to a shuddering halt, as shoppers we now prefer to shop more often for fewer items, hence the rise of the "small local" concept, (Morrisons have been badly exposed here and are fighting to catch up).

Only ten? We've thirteen of them and now the local corner shop's been bought and turned into a First Stop (or some such name) - owned by Tesco. Reply to this message | Report message

Stuart, It's not far away. Almost on the corner of Great Stone Road and opposite PC World. Ted Reply to this message | Report message

Ian, You can fill up at the Shell on the Metro bridge on your way to Nell Lane. Go down Albany Road from your place and you'll be on the correct side of the road to get fuel. Seemples. Ted Last edited by: Ted on Wed 13 Nov 13 at 00:22 Reply to this message | Report message

I am in TESCO's for GAWDS sake, I want a pot of tea and six fried items for three quid, or whatever they charge. I don't want all this poncey service by umpteen staff, where you are given a triple egg timer to see how long your tea bag has been in the cup! Grrr! It's a good job I'm not easily irritated!

ALDI's Christmas food & drink guide is seriously impressive: for instance a whole Jamon de Serrano for under fifty quid, including the carving stand and the correct style of carving knife! You Waitrose types should check it out! Reply to this message | Report message

Unfortunately, I can't try out Aldi any easier than you can try out Waitrose, as there ain't none nearby... Reply to this message | Report message

Aldi - that's the place that has a jumble sale in the middle of the store. Very odd. Reply to this message | Report message       1

I have 59 Tesco stores within 10 miles! They must be getting close the covering the market. Did they ever open that store in Bristol(?) that some of the locals took to rioting over? Reply to this message | Report message

I bought an Aldi router table. www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sunday-8th-september/product-detail/ps/p/router-table/ Works very well. The cost of the "electromagnetic safety switch" is c £20 anywhere... So I bought a second table discounted to £19.99 to sell stock - to upgrade my home made circular saw table. Anyone want an unused router table sans switch for £10? (serious offer) Last edited by: madf on Wed 13 Nov 13 at 11:02 Reply to this message | Report message
