Re: Tesco coming to the US?
When Walmart bought Asda the local Asda didnt become a Walmart, nothing much changed, and I was disappointed. I doubt if all of a sudden we will be eating Tescos own sticky toffee pudding or chicken curries (with the garlic and herb nan bread - gorgeous)

we are lucky to have a newish one that is pretty quiet and fairly clean - still has a 'cheaper' feel to tarjey though!
