Re: Tesco for ossy?

Have noticed lots of complaints about the service offered by the Co-ops in both Ossy and Gt.Harwood ,and how both stores may close if a new store comes into each town , has anyone made a complaint to the management about these places and what has been the response ?

I don't go to the Co-op much either.

I have said before that my reason I am against Tesco for Ossy is that I think it will be detrimental to small businesses in the town.

I like to get my meat from the butcher, newspapers from the newsagent and if I buy a sandwich I go to a baker's shop.

It is the survival of these shops that I am worried about.

I think the one advantage they will gain over local shops is that they will be open until 11 o'clock at night ... unlike local traders, and the Co-op (well, think Co-op was 9 p.m. not sure if still this ?)

This was always a disadvantage, 'til I retired in January, to buying from my local butcher in Clayton.

i aint sure it will be detrimental Lilly? i live in accy but i go up to the butchers up ossy fer all me meat, lidl n asda are virtually on me doorstep.supermarket meat is "Cat" in comparison, the big Tesco in burnley don't seem to have affected trade much. a first class local will always be ok i reckon.

About 20 men in suits with clipboards measuring up the Ossy site today. I went over to talk to them and I think they expected an argument, I bet they get that a lot, but I was just being nosy!

Re: Tesco for ossy?

Lets hope the ban the Murry's

Dear Mrs. Murray,

While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.



Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras:



1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in house wares..... and watched what happened.

5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.

7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

8. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.

9. November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the House wares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.

10.. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the Mission Impossible' theme.

11. December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'Madonna look' using different size funnels.

12. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled 'PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!'

13. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.'

And; last, but not least:

14. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no
toilet paper in here.'
