LOL... I will have to tell the MRS that Tescos bread can be had soon. I love their thick crust bread. It makes the best toast, and it is not stoggy.

True story: While I was on the "IG" team in the Air Force and stationed in Germany, we had to make a trip to England to inspect an Air Force base (RAF Mildenhall). While other spouses with stuffing their duffle bags full of Hummels (expensive nic nacs), Beer and Jewelry. I dedicated 3/4 of my duffle bag to TESCOs bread. Then we froze it enjoyed it for several weeks. I am easily pleased.

LOL..THANKS WOT!!



According to WOT....get used to that picture












Yummy arty:


Here is a good write up. It looks like TESCO is starting out West (Cali, Arizona....).

Hey, maybe I can get the MRS to take a vacation to LA now. If our son can't get us out there then TESCO just might...

Lastly, WOT, did you know that the US SHAWS chain is really owned by Sainsbury's (UK)?

Fish and Chips is bloody expensive these days mate.... Got something to do with E.E.C Directive 980/34_fark-stoopid/al_0 which quite clearly states that British vessels are no longer permitted to fish in British waters as there is simply not enough fish to go around and therefore we have to leave all stocks for the benefit of the Spanish,Portugese,Greeks,Icelandics, Wherling dervishes etc etc... in fact, any ****a who wants it except us... :evil:

Just for you mate....
Fact 1) in U.K walmart drivers will not exceed 40mph
Fact 2) in U.K tesco drivers will not exceed 40mph
Fact 3) if your unlucky enough to be stuck behind both those fookas, you might just as well park up for the night

I see nothing has changed since I left UK (Europe for that matter) in 98.

Heard similar stories then. I did go back for a visit 2 years ago. Forget what it cost me, but I am sure I had to put in on a credit card for F & C and a Guinness

[wot i life]

That would be about right mate....
