7 of 9 ,,,,,,😂. Good choice

Tesco are quite serious petrol station operators in the UK so I wonder if they have ambitions in that direction here. Site like the Ballasalla one could hold several pumps and charging points. Linked to cross product promotions could be a future development (buy x pounds of petrol and get a voucher to use in the shops and /or. Spend x pounds in store and get a discount voucher off petrol etc )

Luv 'em or hate em' you have to admire the speed and efficiency with which Tesco have moved in and totally refurbished and updated 4 stores now. Totally changed the dated retail operation that they acquired. Now well stocked shops with a good compliment of staff and up to date systems,cheaper, better value a credit to retailing on the Island.fmcg at it's best.

You have been proved right in nothing I have seen in your 200 plus posts in this thread.You said that the co-op was very busy and running out of stock. That was a fact that anyone could see .That wasn't anything to do with your intervention.

I think they probably do.i bought some prepacked a while ago in a superstore but didn't like them very much .Fresh ones from a butcher are a much better bet.

I see that the Port Erin Tesco is planned to open on Thursday this week. Bet that will attract a big crowd.

Good luck 👍🏻 I think they are closed all day Monday.

Just taken from their website.it says updated 3 days ago so should be reasonably current Open ⋅ Closes 9 pm Updated by this business 3 days ago More hours 07624 222799

Their web site indicates that they open at 5.30. Till 9.00 pm tonight Please let this thread know if that's not correct.👍🏻

One thing I really miss is kidneys. I used to love those and you rarely see them now .Yet when I go to France and also Luxembourg or Spain they are frequently on restaurant menus. Cooked in wine or sherry they are lovely. It makes you wonder why chef ,(cooks) here complain about the cost of ingredients and not being able to make profits. Yet generally don't use these cheaper often delicious cuts of meat and offal.

Ah! Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.😋

Yes I think you're right. Now that Tesco are available in more areas I think several co-ops are losing volume and so making extra margin on what they do sell to compensate. Certainly their smaller stores are very much convenience and priced accordingly.

I think you are all getting confused This has nothing to do with pigs and sausages. Surely it is how we get our eggs From Battery Hens

deleted wrong thread

Just to help you ,here are the ingredients . I don't think they would have been very different in a 97,%version INGREDIENTS: Pork (90%), Water, Rice Flour, Potato Starch, Salt, Acidity Regulator (Calcium Lactate), White Pepper, Sage, Stabilisers (Tetrasodium Diphosphate, Disodium Diphosphate), Coriander, Preservative (Sodium Metabisulphite), Nutmeg, Dextrose, Bamboo Fibre, Caramelised Sugar Syrup, Colour (Paprika Extract). Hope that helps 😜

Generally pork sausage must contain a minimum of 42 percent meat, but the minimum is 32 percent meat, if the package is labelled as generic sausage.

As others have said these changes have been going on for generations.

IOM why are you putting Confused emojis against everything .All I did was cut and paste part of an article from an edition of the Telegraph .How can you possibly find the wording of that confusing. ? There weren't even any long words in it.

The following news item was from The Telegraph in July 2023 and says the reduction had happened 4 years before in 2019 Tesco, Britain’s leading food retailer, has reduced the pork content of its Finest range from 97 per cent four years ago to 90 per cent. Premium sausages at Marks & Spencer have gone from 97 per cent to 90 per cent over the same period, and the standard ones from 78 per cent to 75 per cent.

10 year plans are a government ploy for doing nothing. Do you remember there was a Road Safety Strategy 2019 -2029 I wonder when the last time that that document was taken out of the dark cupboard. If anything is queried you are told it is under constant review and that a full analysis will be done when all the data is collated and analysed . Politicians love 10 year plans.

Reincarnation?🙄

Deleted. Duplicate

Are you saying they don't bother with getting all the permissions required.? Surely they must.

I suspect they were a bit restricted on layout not being a purpose built Tesco design. Getting planning permission to make major changes would probably have taken ages. It does feel different from their usual layouts. Maybe it will become the new "benchmark"

You might not believe this ,but there is a survey on line about this very issue in UK. 🙄 https://blog.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/hand-held-scanners/
