Tesco under fire again
- 19 January 2012 20:15148308a bit unfairly here i think, people who take advantage of their largesse are hardly likely to stuff more down their throats, much more likely to store them.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2088752/Tesco-labelled-totally-irresponsible-health-experts-slashing-price-chocolate-bars-20p.html - 19 January 2012 21:27148330I will take a pop at responding without ploughing through an article from a paper I don't read on a subject that does not affect me...
...and link this in with the phone calls that Alec and others get about 'accidents'.
Know thy customer!!! It is writ.
The chocolate is cheap for the same reason half-naked women sell cars.
In this, the last scrapings of profligate capitalism, with the love of money replacing the true vigour of free enterprise, innovation and risk what is left but to tweak man's (and a lot of the time woman's) baser instincts and desires?
How many Bookmakers, slot-machine arcades and pole-dancing establishments pepper the local high streets these days?
And with the smash-and-grab in mind...
Did the robbers have to reach over the outside-in wet-fish shop window arrangement with it's drip-tray to catch the drool of the passers-by?
QUICK! Raise the insurance premiums.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 20 January 2012 00:53148350Tom you must buy your cars in different places from me. Never have I come across a half naked car salesperson of either gender.

Roger - 20 January 2012 09:15148369I used to 'do' the motor show press days once upon a time...in the old days, and yes they certainly went for near naked females drooling over the latest Maserati or Mercedes or whathaveyou. Prior to digital then but i did have quite a few pictures taken both at the Motor Shows and the Motorcycle Shows...many a fine statuesque figure I saw. It was an extra way of attracting the photographers to the stand when they were spoiled for choice with the cars. It helped get your car on the frontpage of tomorrows paper with a bit of luck...I remember photographing all that.. it was a hard job but someone had to do it!
But public opinion put an end to all that around the same time as public opinion put an end for example to the Miss World contest on TV. Everything changed virtually overnight and the glamour aspect of these big big shows vanished down the starchy modern plughole. The cars themselves had to provide the clamour and glamour from then on.email: dover7@msn.com - 20 January 2012 10:00148376I find it hard to equate "glamour" with the exchange of cash for flesh, somehow. However, who am I.........
- 20 January 2012 10:40148386Sex/Glamour has always been used to sell things - presumably because most of the marketing/selling aspect was made by men - mostly, for men.
Suckers aren't we ????
