Watch out for koalas. They're not as cute and cuddly as you might initially think...

Only if you like things pissing on you.

Despite the rumours: no. I get the impression koala piss smells much worse than most piss too.

Possibly - I haven't done a comprehensive piss-odour test to compare.

Llamas are worse.

Drop bears, however, are far more dangerous than either.

And I imagine that during the planning process for the initial store there is no mention of any potential future plans for a mezzanine, with them hoping after a few years that everyone will love them and there will be no objections to the plan.

Well quit slacking! We don't pay you to half-do a job.

Exactly. And as granny used to say, "A job half done makes a mess in your pants".

This Tesco in Aston is similar in design to a Tesco's Fresh and Easy store near Los Angeles.




EDIT: Well not really but I think they may have borrowed the roof idea.
EDIT: The more I look at it the more I see how wrong I originally was.
