Yep..........that's the big question isn't it? will it have proper Tesco inventory or all Americanised versions of things
As long as I can ship in my goodies to SC if it's the real deal I welcome it with open arms

Back Bacon try www.britishbacon.com

Here's the story from The Times (3rd Sept)--looks like they are going after the US market...but here's hoping they keep a decent British section.

Well, if they do pander to septic tastes, you can guarantee everything will have 3lbs of sugar in it.

Exactly! I was disappointed after I saw the Times article, as it looks like it will be similar to all the other supermarkets. But, hopefully they'll add enough Tesco touches that we'll see a difference.
