Note: for those outside the UK that don't know, Tesco's is a huge supermarket chain which was at one time "famous" for selling cheap imported clothing of dubious quality. As an aside, I always understood that the company had been named after the founders wife - Tess Cohen, but from another source (Michael Oliver) I learn it was in fact created from a combination of TES (from T.E. Stockwell, Cohen's partner) and CO (from CO-hen)). You live and learn!
