Talk about world domination. On the recruitment grapevine it is understood that the world domination freaks led by the diminutive (short person syndrome/bullied at school) Terry Leahy, have appointed a headhunter to recruit 150 non foods marketing specialists. Argos and Dixons are in a panic because their leading people are being lured away with golden hellos and "fill yer trolly" incentives. No one yet knows who the headhunter is, but I wouldnt mind 33% of 150 placemants @£150,000. Where does it end? I for one will not spend a penny of my contractors easily earned margin at one of their boring stores.

We can't where I live anyway - the water company have closed of the road leading to Tesco's for 16 weeks.Originally posted by DodgyAgent -
Argos and Dixons are in a panic because their former customers are all off to Tescos. A bunch of marketing managers can be replaced, pitifully easily in fact, but your entire customer base can't.Originally posted by DodgyAgentHis heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

OK I'll concede to you on that one. However, the point I was trying to make was that they (Argos & Dixons) are going to miss their soon-to-be-ex-customers more than their soon-to-be-ex-marketing bods, ultimately. Fair?Originally posted by DodgyAgentHis heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Fair point Mordy. My point is that the two are linked in other words no top notch marketing bods no customers and vice versaOriginally posted by MordacLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

It certainly seems that Tesco are venturing into waters other than food. My local store is now absolute chaos because they are building an extra floor to accommodate the extra electricals and clothing they are going to sell come the summer.
There have already been some v. good electrical deals instore in the last few months. I suspect, once the new floor is opened, there'll be even more good deals.
Tesco Online is already quite keen with respect to pricing of TVs etc.
I think I might just invest in some of their shares....
Dixons et al can go hang anyway.... in my view they sell tat at highly inflated prices - just like Ratners did (Oooops - showing my age there!)Comment

I will not touch them or their goods with a greased barge pole. They are utterly ruthless and anti competitive, which is perfectly fine except for the fact that they are turning into an overpowerful monopoly. I wont even buy my bog paper from them even though they have just opened one of their mini stores nearby.Originally posted by miss marple
I am not the only one that holds this view and Tesco are very wary of how the Uk consumer is beginning to change its perspective of them. Do not get me wrong I admire them hugely, they have done more for food retail in terms of giving choice and low prices to the proletariat than any govt or arse licking member of the Sainsbury family, but they are just too powerful.
Anyway I dont do business with anyone who excludes my company from their PSLLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
