Tesco - appeal refused

I hadn't spotted this, it was Jim who pointed out this story from listening to the radio. Tav has obviously noticed as he's commented on an 'amusing' point.

So the Co-op has lost its appeal against Tesco building on the CoW site, hardly surprising. However it's what happens next that's crucial, remember the Co-op threatened to leave should the Tesco be built. Firstly that would leave a wonking great space at that end of town with both the Co-op and the old Tesco pulling out, and secondly what would happen to the Post Office that was moved onto the Co-op site? Will they remain in the big unused building... heh perhaps they could move the sorting office into it.

One joke is that the Co-op is really a purpose built supermarket site, if they leave because of the new Tesco, in theory Tesco could have bought it and used that. A bigger joke is having Asda/Sainsbury's/Morrisons buying and taking it over, oo and buying the old Tesco site too and turning it into a big car-park. Oh it is to laugh :-)
