Are all HDMI cables the same?

Rik · Dec 10, 2008, 17:00:02

We rarely do now, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury & Waitrose. Sue likes shopping - me I'd go to just one place.

David · Dec 10, 2008, 17:02:20

Went over to Woolies and they sadly were almost empty with very little stocks,staff looking very down and by the looks of todays news it will be closing down sale very soon

Rik · Dec 10, 2008, 17:03:45

It always seems to happen before Xmas, doesn't it.

David · Dec 10, 2008, 17:10:19

I feel for the staff,many I know,just by being a regular customer,one lady on the tills always chats about piano playing......shame I hope they at least get paid they have always given good service at my branch

Rik · Dec 10, 2008, 17:11:30

Me too, David, it's not their fault.

I bet Mr. Tesco is getting worried.

I bet he's not.

Lance · Dec 10, 2008, 22:55:53

I agree Sebby. I guess you read the same article in Metro this morning saying that Tesco are soon to become the second biggest retailer in the world, only behind walmart, with a annual turnover of over £111bn (i think)

Sebby · Dec 10, 2008, 23:11:12

Indeed I did. I just think that, whilst some of their customers will have gone to Aldi/Lidl/Netto, the vast majority will remain Tesco shoppers. And Tesco have also probably gained new customers by way of people moving from, say, Waitrose or M&S, but not wanting move to Aldi/Lidl/Netto (I'm not say there's anything wrong with them).

Tesco hate anybody encroaching on to their territory Seb, the fact that Rik has said that they have an " Aldi " aisle speaks volumes to me.

Oh and Tesco petrol is still 4p a litre more than my village garage, every little bit helps.

... their profits.

Inactive · Dec 11, 2008, 10:02:50

Indeed, greedy sod's.

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:05:13

They can't help it, In, it's in their nature.

I don't like Tesco much, I would have been far happier if they had gone bust instead of Woolies.

They bought out one of my local supermarkets a few years back, I can't recall the name of it now, but it was Scottish owned, the place went downhill from there on.

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:10:28

I take it they used to sell smoked Salmond.

Inactive · Dec 11, 2008, 10:14:11

They used to sell some fantastic Scotch Beef.. unlike the dross that Tesco flog.

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:17:30

The only beef to buy, imo, In. I'm on a steakwich for lunch, as it happens...

Not sure Seb, I only buy beef from the village butcher these days.

Sebby · Dec 11, 2008, 14:18:57

Impressive.

Irish, with added dioxins.

That's the pork Rik.

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 15:06:11

I've got no beef with Aldi.

(Just had a Donald Russell rib-eye minute steak for lunch though.
