peterbirks1) I hope Tesco remembers what happened to Marks & Spencer
2) If they approach it with this level of common sense, how can they fail?
Just to set your mind at rest

The better supermarkets are niche and fun (Trader Joe's) or niche and upmarket (Whole Foods - aka "Whole Paycheck").
If Tesco can combine cheap and fun, it could clean up in the States. Virgin Atlantic has cornered the market for cheap and fun in transatlantic flights. Maybe a bit of that British flair could help Tesco?
Hiya Brix!

I would say nice blog but I have no interest in either financial journalism or poker but I do remember you from way back when and its still great reading your stuff(I even remebered when you hand-cranked Greatest Hits)
Whoa, we gettin old!

Date: 2006-02-12 01:38 pm (UTC)A GH reader from the (very) early days, but not into poker? That should cut it down. Clearly one of the Diplomacy fanatics, and also someone who went to cons, or was related to the old "hard core" (if the "Brix" is anything to go by). Apart from that, who knows? Reveal yourself, sir!
