There's somewhere near me called Cockburn. Someone's been diving in without preparation!

Well, this neck of the woods has officially flooded. Tesco along with it. You'd be delighted, Arista. A walk down to the front of the supermarket will reveal a small army of floating trolley's, and the car park was underground.

Ho-hoooo ****.

I'm not but it's annoying when the company is good to work for and if they're opening new stores which brings along hundreds of job I don't get how they're being "greedy".

Because it puts lots of other people out of jobs in the long run, which sort of cancels out the whole job thing. Dog eat dog, I know, but still, point stands I reckon.

Even on a cultural level anyway I miss diversity. Corner shops and strange shops are great. And specialist shops. In the future everything is just going to be giant, white faceless supershops.

True oh well, still it's a good company to work for.

I am off to work now anyway, strangely laters.

The irony about the building in small communities argument is there is clearly a demand in the small communities or else it wouldn't be there. I'd rather have a supermarket with everything in than having to go from shop to shop. Arista, just be thankful we don't have hypermarkets like France.

I can't believe none of you are picking up on the bit in the middle which puts it all into context. Maybe it's just my accent but when I say it it comes out as cock - her - mouth.

You can all thank me later for setting back the feminist movement a good sixty years.
