The wardrobe for the character didn't help. It looked like they dressed him has a 16-17 year old than a grad.
TVF's London Lite.
I don't recall the fact he's a graduate ever mentioned on-screen during the adverts, though I might have missed it.Might have paid too much attention to the gluten free Latimers to notice! Doesn't help he dresses and acts like a teenager though!

It's probably a very rare occurrence of someone of that age and status being depicted in an advert, so no wonder it's confusing.
If it's a family it's usually, mum, dad, teenage moody goth daughter, younger son.
If it's a twenty something, it's usually in a whey lads flat mates scenario.

More cost cutting at Tesco, lets be fair here, only two of the store only open 24/7 a week including Sundays

Tesco is ending 24-hour shopping at 76 of its stores - around one in five of those currently open around the clock. The company says the growth of online shopping means that certain shops had few customers during the night. Normal night time activities - such as refilling shelves - will continue in the supermarkets so Tesco says the impact on employees will be "minimal". The move is Tesco's latest effort to turn around its business which has been hit by challenges on several fronts. The outlets affected will close between midnight and 6am and four hundred staff will be "affected". Tesco says it will do its best to make sure all staff affected are "found a new position either in their existing store or stores local to them".
Full list on the link.
I think this is a backwards move, If safe are in the building, and most are use the self checkout then I cant see how its going to save that much pennies.

If it means proper stock replenishment, rather than having cages strewn all over the store during opening hours I'm all for it. They are still open until Midnight which is later than they would have closed before they went 24 hours.
Plus of course the 76 chosen are probably the ones with the lowest overnight trading anyway, if your store is busy then it won't be one of the 76.

There are a few branches with in store Halal Butchers, but in most stores now the only manned counters are Pizzas (which Asda seem to do very well at) and Fish.barcode wrote:It seems Asda has a new deal, It will replace its unman Butcher counters with McGees, ie outsourcing it. Its been a few years since Asda had its own instore Butchers.
Tesco replaces Everyday Value branding with fictional farms on packaged meat.
Isn't this just Discount Brands at Tesco all over again?

I completed a Shopper Thoughts (run by dunnhumby) survey a few months ago on the new packaging and actually mentioned the similarity to Discount Brands in my feedback.thegeek wrote:Tesco replaces Everyday Value branding with fictional farms on packaged meat.

Interesting to read it is replacing the Everyday Value range with the fictional farms because the impression I got from the survey was that it would be rebranding of the standard range.
Either way, I really don't like the falseness of the branding and if I had the choice of a Tesco branded pack of minced beef or a Dale Farms (the proposal in the survey) I would choose Tesco.
Haven't you just talked yourself into buying a slightly more expensive brand?jonathan wrote:Either way, I really don't like the falseness of the branding and if I had the choice of a Tesco branded pack of minced beef or a Dale Farms (the proposal in the survey) I would choose Tesco.
