Advantages: 4 pence bottles of beer says it all Disadvantages: Fighting old women for a Tesco trolley
...a thousand spires had a Tesco worried me. I had come here for the culture but I was now shamefully excited about the fact that I was about to be able to eat Crunchy Nut Cornflakes again. The fact that they were about half the price you'd pay in the UK was also an interesting distraction. I then noticed a special offer of 330ml bottles of beer at 4 pence each and my flabber was well and truly gasted.
