Make your choice

WHAT is going on in this world?

First people in Ledbury do not want Tesco to build in the town for fear of Tesco affecting the smaller businesses in town. Tesco came to Ledbury and surprise surprise – not only did it not affect any of the businesses but the local people shopped in Tesco.

People parked at Tesco and walked into the town. So there seemed to be a working solution.

Now, Tesco want to build a larger store as, if you shopped in their current store you would see they cannot cope with the number of customers.

But oh no, people are objecting to them having a bigger shop. Why? Here we go again, because it may affect local business.

Yet now people are considering a Sainsbury’s. For goodness sake.

Let Tesco have their larger store. After all, they have been loyal to supporting the Ledbury community and now you’re dumping them.

Now, people are debating about Sainsbury. If it goes on and on they will end up with nothing and serves them right.

The Ledbury people should give something back to Tesco – they have done their part in providing a service and jobs to the local people. Fair is fair.

I supported Sainsbury's and Tesco to start with, but as more information has come out I would no longer support a Tesco application for a number of reasons. Tesco already have the major market share within the town with two stores (The supermarket & One Stop), their ethical methods are certainly something to be questioned and unlike Sainsbury's who use UK suppliers for almost all their ranges, they were also involved in this working for nothing scandel - something they have since withdrawn from, but I would question if they would have if it had not come to the publics attention. This isn't just about having a larger store, its about giving people more choice and enabling them to shop within their own town instead of having to have a round trip of over 20 miles.

I'd suspect alongside that "Danish Bacon" you would find a number of UK varieties as well, its called choice baboo2you, something you seem intent on denying to others.

That's a headline even a statement, choice as in allowing people to make comments, if they dare to say anything that does not not come into your book of happiness they get slated or told to stand on the naughty stair. Any supermarket offers choice as you well know, as any supermarket sells Danish bacon, like any supermarket including Sainsbury sells New Zealand lamb (by the way Tesco is cheapest on mysupermarket.co.uk)
. Not really good when you could get lamb at the local butcher or farm shop if there is one close by all supermarkets are guilty, of this I give up trying to get any point across as I think that this has turned into Ledbury Supports Sainburys Forum, I am not worthy....forgive me for I have sinned oh great Messiah I have not got time to respond to every letter that you seem to deny others the right to express how they feel.

That's an attack, not even thinly veiled, i do like your attempt at reverse psychololgy... Act the victim, when you're the aggressor, very clever... or so you think. Even in high school now we study basic Freudian theory!!! I am the un-educated (apparently) Do you not understand what you are doing with your middle class white supremacist agenda, if you look at a local "high street" that hasn't been allowed to evolve, you'll see Upton upon Severn, have you ever been there outside of your so called messianic tourist trade? It's dead, all the youth have left! I can't believe you're being so short sited, i can't decide if it's ignorance or avarice! I can't think of anyone in my school year who has stayed here apart from the people who will not, have not and shall not succumb to your blatant bullying! I guess the future looks bleak from your ivory towers! Now i feel i must answer all your posts (or people like you)... I saw a comment on the wages at Sainsbury's as being derisory, i'm just wondering how many of the illuminati owned shops in the illustrious high street pay more than a supermarket of any description or offer the pension allowance of even the worst performing supermarket, i guess you don't pay them, but you're going to save Ledbury from the demon that is progress, how are people using the internet? It's the Devils work it be!
