Ted tell me your having a laugh a Tesco extra and filling station!!!

According to the beeb, looks like Kinloss and the Nimrod MR4 have been chopped and St Athan £14.5 billion DTC plan suspended.
Also Ark Royal and Harriers cut, but persisting with the two new carriers - without any jets for at least nine years!
If all Harriers go I can't imagine Wittering remaining open as part of money cutting deal will be either to stop paying out on/or selling off land.

The country will still be safe from attack though. With the BBMF, HMS Belfast and Bovingdon tank museum, our future as a powerful nation endures!

Re Tesco 'What comes around goes around'

I firmly believe that in the future there will be a TIX - Tesco Information Exchange, with group visits to long-gone supermarket sites. Members will remember where the deli counter once stood, and where the trolleys were piled high. The snack bar, checkouts, customer service desk will all be recorded. Site plans will be treasured and there may even be trips to sites which haven't yet closed.

There will of course be threads headed 'Tesco Superstore at XXXX to become a prison'
