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'

How would we be able to tell? Whenever I go into the Tesco in the middle of Peterborough, it already looks like an open prison with the addition of food shelves.
If a small thermonuclear device went off in there on Giro day, I anticipate that local crime would immediately fall by at least 60%.

There's lots of re-enactors that can defend us as well I better go get my gun out.

I went to the Tesco in Hampton? when I was over, christ what a change! I remember when it was just brick pits, wonder how many of the inhabitants/inmates realise they are living on a land fill?

Okay I know it was high tech land fill from thepower station, just hope they didnt get anything from Sizewell by mistake.

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!

Denis your spot on there but even they could be at risk (scrap value) how about for the RAF (Balloons) /RN (HMS Nelson) /Army (back to horses) at least the wind is free to get them into battle as long it blows that way and straw is cheaper than petrol/diesel, British armed forces no longer going to be the force we were, i understand costcutting but BLOODY HELL

Funny someone mentioned horses and the army. Did you know that the british army has more horses than helicopters? Well I suppose if needs be you can eat your horse but not your helicopter!

Remember the RN will still have a jet aircraft after all this, the RNHF's Seahawk !

Oooh, you went to the classy one!

It is indeed built on a big pit full of Pulverised Fly Ash. AKA dust.
I have a theory that if you could fit a big enough fan in the ground, you could blow air through and make it behave as a liquid. Probably not a good idea though.

I saw the former Sea-Harrier pilot "sharky" Ward on the news having his say about the Harriers retirement.
