Sounds like sour grapes from the Local Authority who might now be regretting giving Tesco planning permissionOriginally Posted by lastlid
They're a bunch of mugs
"Commissioner Alwyn Collister said: ‘I still think it’s the wrong place. It was never envisaged this would happen. If someone tried to get planning permission for a store like this they would not get it.’
I dont think Tesco applied for planning permission....thats part of the big debate.
Castletown, Isle of Man
Tesco is planning to open a second store in the island. Concerns have been expressed about the impact of the new store on the town’s existing retailers and the scheme has come under fire from the chairman of the town’s commissioners.
"Tesco has confirmed it has signed a 20-year lease to open an Express outlet at the Callow’s Yard development in Castletown. Work is already underway to remove four existing shops at the Malew Street entrance to provide space for the 5,000 square feet convenience store. No planning consent was needed for the interior works which he expected to be completed by mid-December with the shopfitters coming in during January. For further information please see an article in iomtoday, 5th November 2011."

It says this :-
The department’s director of highways, Richard Pearson, confirmed the development has planning permission for retail use.
Might be some sort of outline permission
Yes. I think it was permission for retail stores in general but not specifically Tescos or a Tesco Express.
Big Trouble in Little China
Naturally Tesco will employ some very clever people in their property and legal departments.

Tell you what Dedworth, down to your postings I've spent more time in Aldi this year than at any other time since I came back to UK
Haven't bought much though the best bargains seem to sell out very fast. Better get up earlier next time.
BTW, I spent 2 hours in a queue last Thursday at our local Aldi to try and get hold of a special bottle of Whisky. Didn't get it though. The first person to buy one said only 4 bottles were available. So I went home.
They sold those at a pinch under £50. Bargain of the century.
BTW, the best bargain (imo) for champers is now at Lidl ---Comte de Brismand Champagne at £12.99
Not that I'm an expert, but this is just stunning. Yes I already tried it then went back and bought 10 bottles.
I also bought Saint Emillion Grand Cru AOC 2008 for just £12.99. This is NOT for sharing. Nothing more to say.
No ones mentioned Waitrose
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
I mentioned Waitrose. Maybe you missed my post #56No ones mentioned Waitrose
It was only yesterday afternoon at Waitrose
Tasty seasonal snacks on offer at 3 for the price of 2
Quite a few were reduced to £1.50 from the original price £4.99 (short dated)
I bought 3 which I thought would cost me £4.50
Nooooo
The computer/till took £4.99 off for the free one.
Means waitrose actually paid me 49p to enjoy them. I went back to get some more but none left on reduced price.
They tasted so so good.
I actually like it at Waitrose.
I generally shop there more than anywhere else as it's only 20mins each way from my village. It's OK and they often have some good promos and reductions (short date)
They have plenty of foods I love and can't get anywhere else.
The only shop in our village is Co-Op.
Dedworth has tempted me to drive further afield to our nearest Aldi and Lidl stores and I can only say, what a revelation!!!. Some of the stuff they have is wonderful and at lowest prices ever. Wouldn't do my whole shop there but have found some absolute gems.
I did as you know on another thread in connection with goings on outside their doorNo ones mentioned WaitroseI actually don't mind Waitrose and go there now and again they have some decent special offers and sometimes absolute steals with the running out of date stuff on the pikey shelf.
Their quality is first class and they've always on the pricey side but make no bones about it. They're a pretty ethical outfit and wouldn't get up to the underhand and shafting supplier practices that Tesco thrive on.
Glad I've converted you Terpe and you are spending some of that money you saved on fags getting some cracking dealsThat sounds rather interesting. Must take a look.

I didn't make any attempt to try and buy that old malt as I'm not a spirit drinker - saw some of the 24 year old they were selling 4 or so weeks back. Aldi & Lidl as you rightly say have some seriously good deals on quality alcohol, I think they're my main supplier nowadays
They both have some top spec products (fruit & veg, chilled food, frozen, cleaning stuff etc) at very fair prices unlike the reviled big 4. IMHO anyone who doesn't try spending their money there either has more £'s than sense or is a brand snob (and we know brand snobbery is a fairly common Filipina trait)
Thats why I mentioned it,good enough for Romanians its good enough for us ehI did as you know on another thread in connection with goings on outside their door

Maybe they were pouring pretentious overpriced coffee down their necks at Starbucks. The M'head one often has a large cup from Costa Lot - nice to have a surplus of cash to splash outThats why I mentioned it,good enough for Romanians its good enough for us eh
