Hi, I too was "nosey" and popped in early this morning. No petrol, no furniture, just another Tesco's really! Looked good though. So, why is it called Tesco EXTRA???? My slight concern was I found it a bit "daunting" crossing the roads to get home. I wanted to go back along Paradise Street, so you have to come out of the side doors and walk up slightly, in the direction of The Globe, where there is a newly created zebra crossing. So far so good. Then, upon closer inspection, you notice the pavement "dips" slightly and you then "attempt" to cross the road, but you have to LOOK RIGHT, LOOK LEFT, about 20 times before you DARE dash across. Twice you have to do this! Very odd! I honestly thought they would have put lights/pelican somewhere around the new Tesco.
