Or perhaps they have voted 'No' to make a lame attempt at spoiling the poll.
Mike, I assume you don't have a tesco clubcard* or similar. If you do, there is no real need for Tesco to come rifle through your fridge as you have already agreed to uniquely identify your buying habits to them.

This identification is to the extent that when you sign up to the on line shopping you get a customised list of the things you usually buy - as identified by your clubcard.

Tesco of course give you money for giving up such privacy. Would you be more amenable to this if you not Virgin got the money from Phorm?

* I use Tesco but this applies to any form of loyalty card - I'm not picking on Tesco specifically but using them to highlight a similar process many of us are bought into.
