Yes, after you collect accrued ''rewards'' on your points card.... BUT. at the moment there is a price discount war going on here, amongst the big Supermarkets, who sell petrol. As much as 5p a litre. Will keep you posted. Unfortunately, after having some ''spare'' cash around, I last week filled the tank at Morrisons! Don

do you have a link to the details on the tesco site? I'm struggling to find the specific details of lower petrol prices by using tesco rewards... I sometimes get the 5p off per litre of fuel discount coupon with my receipt when I grocery shop, but they are not doing that promotion in our area at the moment.

I'm already in the UK and we often use tesco petrol, so would be useful.

To be honest, although I am accruing points, I shall have to resist going, as my last bill was OTT - due to my impulse buying nature. Having said that, if you register on their web site, they send very frequent updates, via email. That is how I got the info. Special offers, and discounts, are regular features. My Daughter, insists - ''Dad, you must buy for home delivery, and choose their BOGOF'S, to ensure good deals & a lower bill''. Don

Mum saves all her Tesco points till they do the double deal or something where you get a lot more for cashing in your points, then she goes clothes shopping at the massive Tesco next town over, I went with her last time and got some lovely things for me and Dd as well.

cheers

Before you come back to the UK beware of changes to the funding of care for the aged.

All this talk of Tesco is making me post this: over here in the UK, Tesco is regarded as the Walmart of the grocery world. They move into town, and the independent stores go out of business. Here in Frome there is a big move to keep them out of town - we already have a Sainsbury's and a M&S food store, plus a ghastly Iceland. Sooo... before everyone gets all gung ho over Tesco points, they are - knowingly - undercutting everyone else. Every little bit DOES NOT help all the time. If you want any semblance of the England you know and love, don't let the big supermarkets move in and turn us into a poor relation of the US strip malls..

Public service announcement over for tonight

....as most of us here did by moving abroad and leaving our families of origin. After almost 39 years I still smell the city that I love when I arrive and feel at "home" at home if you know what I mean )

No one can stop them. Money talks and they will have there way and then after they get rid of the small guys they can proceed to gouge the public.

You take too negative a stance, my man. Meet me on the Chit Chat site.

Yes, at the age of 73 this is a worry for me, and my house will be on the market in a couple of weeks.

Thank you Rodney,

For the lovely post about your reasons for being in the UK.
I didnt make the decision to move back to the US lightly, it built up over a couple of months, I found myself having anxiety attacks, crying myself to sleep etc. I didnt realize when I came over here just how much I was going to miss the US. I thought I would just move here and carry on my life in a new place no problem. For the first couple of months that happened, and then slowly I started to think more about my friends, my daughter..I would talk to them on the computer, and they would be telling me about what they were up to, and I would find myself feeling sad that I wasnt there.
I was lucky enough to get a job here, and worked with some very nice people, who obviously wanted to know all about Las Vegas when they found out that was where I came from, and the more I told them about it, the more I wanted to go back . Living with my parents was OK at first, but after a couple of months that got a little claustraphobic, and I was starting to resent feeling like a child again, not their fault, just a natural thing for parents to do that have had a 35 year gap in their childs life. The job I had would not allow me to afford my own place anytime soon, and better jobs are just not available here at the moment, so I began to feel trapped..and started to feel the life being sucked out of me. I know everyone talks about how wonderful TV is here, and there are some very good programs I admit, but I find it for the most part very amature, and repetative.
I dont have anything bad to say about the UK really..I just dont think living here is for me..I have met some lovely people, and I have enjoyed for the most part the time with my parents, but its time for me to go home....at least to the place I have lived longer than any other place in my life...Las Vegas..its not the most perfect place in the world, but its all I have known for the past 30 years...
England will always have a place in my heart....
Jackie..

cheers

I have lived most of my life in California and I have been away from it for 11 years and I don't miss it one bit. Don't mind a visit now and again.

As for staying in the UK or making a perminant move there I'll have to try it.

So welcome home Jackie, I knew you would miss me

When is the big day?


Cheers

Mummy in the foothills

Are you back in Vegas already or still in the planning stages?

cheers

I think the answer is in the last paragraph. Jackie is in the UK.

.I just dont think living here is for me..I have met some lovely people, and I have enjoyed for the most part the time with my parents, but its time for me to go home.
