Graham. Lidl is cheap. Tesco is not.

  but the food's cheap, they deliver well when they say they will and the main 
site is relatively accessible.

  Colin, for those of us living in London, we tend to use tesco because of the 
language and other difficulties that often exist when shopping meaning that 
assistants often have poor english skills or reading is not for whatever reason 
one of their strengths.  Given your objection on ethical grounds, what would 
you suggest people use as an alternative?

  Don't say use local small shops either.  Virtually all of them round here are 
now small bangladeshi places as that is the main local community.  These shop 
owners will often be as helpful as possible but english really is an issue.  
Wouldn't wonder too near with a guide dog either as you might cause either shop 
owners or customers to have a heart attack!

  For these reasons, online shopping is particularly important.

    Damen,

    We shouldn't be supporting Tesco! The company that was at fault for paying 
their mental health user employees with food vouchers, and the same 
organisation that is paying fruit pickers less than 38 pence per day for a 12 
hour day!

      Oh dear. Call me behind the times but I've only just gone to see the new 
accessible Tesco website. It's very disappointing. 

      I've given up after taking 10 or 15 minutes to order a tray of baked 
potatoes and some tinned chick peas. 

      It takes far too long now. 

      Is anyone in touch with Nick Lansley from Tesco, about this? Are any 
changes in the pipeline? 

      Thanks
