Now Tesco have come slinking back into the area having built two huge supermarket as well as a few of the express shops and they are hardly used.Indeed one of their hypermarkets is going to close..IF they had kept a toe in the door so to speak maybe they would have more of a share of the local trade than they can generate in competition to all the other supermarkets that saw an opportunity in my locale and exploited it.
