Tesco
After popping out for a sandwich and getting a turkey one called "union jack"...i started thinking about our lovely food back home....i looked up tescos with the slim hope they might come to the us....I nearly fell of my chair when I saw they were...was ready to tell you all and then saw you had all discussed this way back in feb and quite a few times or so it seems?!?! 
...anyway thought i would bring it up again to annoy all the old timers but please all the newbies like me......yippppeee tescos...however us east coast lot may have to wait a while...maybe we could bribe some of the west coast crowd to start a shipping service

All we have is bloody HEB here. If there was a Tesco's or Sainsbury's they would blow them out of the water. Christ, I could even live with an Asda.
