Hereis a great list for anyone trying to guess which US based retailer Tesco might be thinking of buying. A quick look reveals that they are ina bit of a mess, Albertsons have put them selfs up for sale and Winn-dixie are in chapter 11. Bit hard to believe that Tesco want to join the fray.

Whilst at the Radio5 blogging event last night at the The Sofa So Bar,515 Fulham Road, London,SW6 1HD. Tammie and her friend offered to do 5minute back rubs and head massages. A very neat idea and well executed except for a couple of niggles.
