Industry research has found that supermarket giant Tesco actively discriminates against English people. The stores are guilty of charging English people more in order to give Scots cheaper shopping bills. Examples of this blatant racism include: Cotton-wool pads that cost £1.03 in London on sale at a Tesco Extra branch in Corstorphine, Edinburgh, for just 29p Filippo Berio olive oil was 13 per cent more expensive in the Tesco Extra in Beckton, East London Youngâs Original Ocean Pie cost £2 there compared with £1.50 in Edinburgh. A spokesman blamed IT.
I'll check that on the way home and if you're lying ps Things are more expensive in London than they are anywhere else so it isn't an "English" thing is it?
If you had bothered to read the article you would be aware that Tesco have now made the prices equal in all stores...or so they claim...
Well that's unfair as people in London get London Weighting so they are in fact getting a better deal. Typical London favouritism...
this Many moons ago, I worked for a company who paid workers in Birmingham more than workers in Glasgow. The cost of living in Glasgow was shown to be higher but the disparity was justified using an annual earnings survey - basically market forces. People in some part of the country earn more on average so they need to pay them more to recruit them. If you accept this, then complaining about food pricing being cheaper in Scotland is infantile in the extreme (hence the Daily Mail article).
English isn't a race. David Cameron, Lenny Henry and Gok Wan are all English, but no one would argue that they're the same race.
