To be fair sometimes it can be an administrative error . It remains to be seen if they keep Aldi price match here given there is currently no Aldi it’s certainly one to watch .

Our planning is so stupid. You need to apply for that high takes up officers time, and at the same time there is hundreds of thousands of pounds of potential economic activity stuck in planning! It's required in UK, so not sure why Tesco thought IOM would be different, if indeed they did/do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be one of those where regulations differ a bit between UK and here and Tesco organised everything from head office without checking. The Castletown shop's in a conservation area, so regulation on things like signage will be tighter - as it is in the UK - but Tesco may have missed that.

quilp Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 @IOM What's with all the 'confused' emoji's, what're you trying to imply? It's a ridiculous practice and says more about you than anything else. Fool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a terrible incident at Tesco yesterday morning. Mrs NoTailT asked me to pick up her cigarettes whilst I was there. She kept reminding me "20 L&B" and I was getting it confused with B&H, so she told me to remember it as Lesbians & Bisexuals. The poor young girl working on the counter at Vic Rd was awfully bemused and concerned when I - rather flustered - asked her for 20 lesbians and bisexuals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
