Romey 1878 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 They're no longer a British Supermarket chain anyway, they were bought by Wal Mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Tesco was founded by Jack Cohen, who served with the Royal Air Force during the First World War. After returning in 1919, 21 year old Jack invested 30 pounds of his reward for military service to buy surplus food stockpiles and he opened a little stall in East London. On the first day he had a four pound turnover and one pound profit. Little by little, his business started to boom and Jack expanded to other markets all over London. He also began wholesale trade.

My mates came to stay from uni last night and we first went to Hoylake where the golf is loads of fit guys it was great. But then we went to town and it all went downhill we ended up getting split up, I ended up with one mate who was with this guy in a doorway and I just had to stand and wait and cars kept slowing down thinkin i was there for trade! I was not happy But we had an amazing day sightseeing today! Rant over sorry - I feel slightly better now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Did he have just one of those old push along jobbies?. 40459[/snapback] He did Mac...he used to wear just swimming shorts and wellies and march up and down for hours on end (after a good hour of spark-plug cleaning to get it started), think he actually found it quite relaxing...he was a one off my dad, not the best father ever (which he regretted later and made amends for by being a great grandfather), but a big character .
