Tesco
Winners in the Credit Crunch
Books, it’s often said, sell better in a recession – I imagine because reading is about the most cost-effective, convenient way to entertain yourself. £8 worth of paperback should always last several times longer than £8 worth of movie, with the best pictures in the book-reader’s head. As a writer who lives on royalties, I hope the maxim holds true this time round. But the most obvious winner currently emerging is the sale of condoms, up some 10%, with ‘sexual enhancers’ up 25%. Less predictably, Ocado, the home delivery service for Waitrose, have seen sales up by 60%. Food & sex, always reassuring in troubled times.
Hypocrisy in the High Street
Hypocrisy from any quarter deserves to be exposed, and especially when it comes from the largest retailer in Britain who will do anything to increase the footfall through their stores.
Tesco have consistently vowed that they will support government in not encouraging young people to drink by offering very discounted booze.
Not so.
