One of the Little Waitroses at Shell petrol stations may come to your aid for the Easter Egg.
Thanks for the suggestion, Andrew. I've now got to the "sod it" stage!

Quote from The Sun: Tesco is preparing to scrap its Metro format and rebrand the 147 branches as either Express or Extra superstores.

Britain’s largest supermarket chain is making the changes due to declining sales at the Metro stores, which are sized between its convenience format Express and its full-size Extra stores.

The rebranding will take place over the summer, with 89 stores to become Tesco Express and the remaining 58 to be superstores.

The grocer began restructuring its Metro store estate in 2019 after sales declined amid tough competition from other retailers.

Staff were informed of the changes yesterday, and there will be no further redundancies on top of the 4,500 jobs cut when the restructure was launched.

No stores are expected to close as a result of the changes, and the sites will remain open as the new fascias are installed over the coming months.

I don't understand the Tesco announcement. If these mid sized stores are to be converted to the format of the smaller stores, they will physically remain the same size! How can they run them with fewer staff?

Perhaps they're going to block off some of the floor space, or even demolish part of them to reduce the floor space (which would reduce the business rates).

I remember when British Steel knocked some of their buildings down & Woolworths lopped off some of their upper floors to pay less rates.

The announcement does not say they will be run with fewer staff though I suspect they may take the opportunity to introduce more self service tills.

The use of 'Gets coat' would suggest not.
