Woolworths New Website

[fergusw]

Ah I see, I mis-read. My Apologies Lee
I was just trying to rhyme with the meter you see.

I think that any store over a fixed size (about a old woolies shop size) should be restricted to a number of product lines, that is say Tesco's they would be limited to food and say wine, Departmental stores to non food products. Banks to either retail banking or trading but not both and not able to sell insurance or own building societies

Restrict progress and success, but why?

What if you were told you could only have one website, not eight as you are making the web 8 times bigger than is required?

Surely these places only expand and make a sucess of that expansion because we want it that way, we love places where we can sort a whole load of 'to dos' at once don't we?

I always thought there was a chance we'd start to see local shops re-appear once supermarket home delivery got going. The thinking was you'd buy the standard bulk items from the supermarket and then get your fresh bread, milk, fruit and veg, meat, fish, etc from the local shops. It doesn't seem to be happening that way though and the supermarkets have closed off the opening by putting their own 'convenience' shops in all the residential hotspots.

You can't stop 'progress' though. As Lee says, we're getting what we want even if we don't exactly like the consequences.

the only way to stop it is not to shop at Tesco...

That's not right, shop but don't pay at Tesco - that's how you stop 'em

This is a common problem, where people actually create a situation that when they sit back and look at, they do not like, but it doesn't change what they did to create this situation, nor do they change from this point forward. People moaning about Tesco will still shop there, we just don't like a company that is perceived too powerful or too successful in this country.

Still most large companies appear bulletproof and then fail, quite a few in the last year including banks and maybe BA to follow, even Marks & Sparks has had a very rough time over last few years after being top dog for many years

Do you remember the problems Shell had in Germany a few years ago with people power over a rusty old piece of oilfield equipment, maybe a lesson there

It does not take many bricks taken from the bottom of the wall to make it crumble

Have a great weekend folk

Tesco doing currency exchange, thats ANOTHER string to their already overloaded bow.
