What if - Tescos actually stocked a bigger range of food instead of just their three own brands and the big name.

I want to buy obscure items some times. And why can I not find Trex anywhere?

The next closest Tesco would be Culverhouse Cross, but that's not much bigger than a shoebox either and is in desperate need of revamping. I heard that they were going to re-build that one.

And finally, the Tesco in Cardiff which is my favourite involves a winding, traffic-light ridden car journey through the city centre to get to Llandaf. Offically the biggest Tesco in Wales. It's HUGE!

Pointless me thinking about Tesco, though as every single of one of them is currently closed until 10am tomorrow morning. Bloody antiquated Sunday trading laws.
That Tesco simply cannot be as big as Asda Queensferry in North Wales. That is just ridiculous. It is about the size of two Tesco Extra stores stuck together.

I went to a Carrefour when I was abroad recently. They were selling ''half price double beds''. Like you do.

:arrow: Netscape 4.x (great in it's heyday, but obsolete now) had been the first browser to offer tabbed browsing?


Ok folks . . . over to you . . .
Is it actually possible for you to talk about something other than Apple Macs and web browsers?
