The Trough

Here are a few things I’ve found myself collecting about Tesco. Thought it was time they all went into one place.

1. That there are similarities between the architecture of churches and Tesco. Here are two photos by Robert Edwards that give a hint of it.

2. My experience one Sunday morning at 11am when the doors were opened to let in the crowds of people desperate to shop. About 100 people queuing up. Looks like there is a Sunday – church day theme to this…

3. That one side of Tesco sells Cigarettes, sweets and lottery tickets and that the other side sells the drugs to get better. Please excuse the under cover style photography.

4. That they now have a diet website and compare their diet food to their normal food in terms of nutritional value. I picked up this sandwich quite by accident.  Very confusing, does this mean I should buy their diet food to have a healthy diet?

5. An extract from We worhship at St Tesco by Pam Ayres (see the full version here)

“Some ladies still are singing in the choir

Of the Earth they will inherit if they’re meek

But St Tesco have on high the voice of Angels

With all the special offers for the week

But sometimes in the busy supermarket

Above the merry ringing of the till

I fancy I can hear a church bell ringing

From the steeple of St Cuthbert’s on the hill”
