As brand names go, this one's fairly apt:

 

I wonder if her name's Melanie?

No comprende

I'm starting to believe that I'll never understand Tesco's pricing strategy:

 

Suffice to say that we bought the six-packs.

Phew, that’s a relief!

I tell you, those boffins at Tesco think of everything!

 

 

And to think that, until I saw the label, I'd been worried sick about having to drive home while holding the stuff in cupped hands.

Given the option, we like to buy British produce. Not only to support our own economy, but also because, in theory, the produce has less of a transport carbon-footprint.

At Jack Cohen's Emporium in Coventry they like to promote British produce by splashing a Union Flag logo and "Season's best" across the price-runners.

It's been an ongoing disappointment, therefore, to find that their "British" Potatoes...

 

 

 are actually from France...

 

their "British" Kale...

 

 

 is actually from Spain...

 

and their "British" Tenderstem Broccoli...

 

 

 is actually from Kenya:

 

It's not only the Coventry store that's pulling this stunt. Here's what Hinckley have to offer today:

"British" spuds...

 

 

from Egypt!

 

This is misleading advertising, I've had words about it with the stores' staff several times over the last few months but they do nowt about it.

Today I was compelled to have words with the stores' bosses and with the ASA.

Me? Picky?

You bet!

 

What does “incompetent” mean? What does “baffled” mean?

Yeah, sorry about the post-title. No doubt you all know where it's from.

Anyway, it's clear that at least one Tesco employee is both incompetent and baffled when it comes to using our official language:

Maybe a little education would help?

They may have been playing it fast and loose in the changing-rooms but they were hedging their bets in the Seasonal Goods aisle. Who can blame them for catering for a little latitude in the long-range weather forecast for the run-up to Christmas?

Up the aisle

 

For good days

 For bad days

For Christmas Days

We didn't find the Easter eggs but I'm sure they must be hidden away somewhere at the back.

Not for me, thanks

I suppose it's a matter of taste, but I'll be reviewing my policy on foreign foods...
