like you said theyre taking over :lol: we only have 1 asda in this area and iver never seen another one on my travels anywhere, that must be why asda are so cheap - they dont waste theyre money on more new staff and ever more stores.

we have 1 big tesco's extra, and another big one being built on the previous site of B&Q (we now have a NEW B&Q which has recently opened - the biggest BnQ in britain :) ) and we have a tescos extra petrol station/mini store pretty much every half mile from end to end on the top of the town and the bottom lol you cant get away from them!

Ilkley has an older large store and a recently opened Express + petrol station. There are plans afoot for Tescos to build a new superstore and close the older one but there has been a lot of protest over it. There are even demonstration videos on youtube!
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

probably about 20, there are loads of new houses being built in Swindon, and all these new estates get a mini Tesco as their local shop.

North Swindon's ASDA is the biggest supermarket in the UK though - we've got all the best tourist attractions! :lol:

on the subject of b&q, is there a petition for a bus service from one end of the store to the other? Certainly feels like that at the Gloucester store :lol:
