Default Tesco's shut

Just seen a news report that Tesco's all over the place has been closed today.


People have actually sent in photographs to news agencies of this 'phenomenon'. Pictures of Tesco's actually shut.


Sorry but I'm pi$$ing myself with laughter here!!

Ah..................mystery solved!

We were at Midland Superbikes in Market Harborough yesterday getting my back protector and heard all the sirens. When we came through the town centre on the way home a little while later there were police cars everywhere and an area cordoned off with tape. We thought the local building society must have been raided, never considered the Tesco's opposite it was the reason

Thats nice to hear that when a shop closes, no one is injured.
Nothing to see here, move along.

Question Re: Tesco's shut

Quote:> "If Cheese is fattening, how come you don't see Fat Mice Around"

Cos mice don't actually like cheese dude! They usually eat seeds, nuts and some insects for extra protein but cheese is alien to them and they will only eat it if they are very hungry and can't find an alternative mostly in winter. Probably why mouse traps are more effective in winter even though there are many more mice around in summer.
Better to put an unsalted peanut on a trap or better still use a humane one (one that doesn't kill or harm them) after all what harm do they do in a modern home?

My imagination had me thinking along the lines of "WOW!! Tesco's is shut!! Quick - get a picture and tell everyone!! What are we going to do? Where will we shop? etc etc etc..."


Perhaps it's just a me thing...altho' Richie and G2D found something humorous in it...so maybe it's just you then!!

Not sure what this has to do with Tesco's but each to his own...
