Tesco is like a convenience store model of Wal-Mart. Cities will be fairly saturated with Tescos, which will cut into the sales of Wal-Mart which will cause them all kind of problems. Sort of makes sense, as the most common gripe I hear about our local Wal-Mart is that it's too big, as well as it's difficult to find items.J Ghttp://deadlyblur.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591298.post-91232438953743603772007-01-19T02:51:34.000-07:002007-01-19T02:51:34.000-07:00I'd say Tesco is rather like Wal-mart, only th...I'd say Tesco is rather like Wal-mart, only they focus on food and have a bit of other stuff. They're definitely smaller than Wal-Mart. But then again, once they moved to the States I'm sure they could spread out their stores a bit more. <br /><br />The second Tesco we went to (on Wednesday) had two stories with an escalator that you could push your cart onto. And they had more clothes and other non-groceries than the first one. But still it wasn't really on the scale of a Wal-Mart.Meg Dunnhttp://barefootmeg.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591298.post-50106470648219707242007-01-18T13:35:36.000-07:002007-01-18T13:35:36.000-07:00Yes I know what dialup is like, is what I have.

Something about express convenience versus being swamped with a huge store.

When I'm at Vanessa's I'm limited to dial-up and I've spent several hours just trying to get Monday's pics posted. :-( But I'm almost done with those and then I'll post Tuesday and Wednesday. We're planning on hitting the internet cafe today. (Which may be the last connection I can make before we get back to Colorado with the exception of a bit of dial-up on Friday morning.)Meg Dunnhttp://barefootmeg.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591298.post-85576905024483998562007-01-17T15:27:20.000-07:002007-01-17T15:27:20.000-07:00Where are all the pics of you and ivy?Where are all the pics of you and ivy?Barb Petershttp://scully377.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591298.post-34517666662668740082007-01-17T00:45:35.000-07:002007-01-17T00:45:35.000-07:00i liked abhorsen, but it was a bit too long since ...i liked abhorsen, but it was a bit too long since i've read it before reading the creature in the box (which is a short story that follows the trilogy) so i was a little lost in the short story because i couldn't remember what all had happened.<br /><br />i really like the days of the week series. i've read them all from the library and borrowed thursday from roz.
