I am only interested in current figures and could not give a toss about what happened 5 or 10 years ago. You hate it that this has turned the corner and you did not invest at the bottom of the market - so bad luck your on the outside and this is a firm winner for those invested here - Divi, profitable, increased market shate etc-------------------- suck it up buddy because this is just the beginning - but not for you !!!

You know nothing and nobody cares what you think either, your predictions and doomongering have all turned out to be false, you own no shares here and are not invested and you are simply trying anything you can to try to persuade others to sell so that you can get in at a lower price. Dont need rose tinted glasses just normal eyesight to be able to understand the remarkable turnaround that beats everyone else in the sector - bye bye Troll !!

Dear Bruce I am sure the Tesco BOD are shivering in there boots at that news - LOL !! Seriously mate have a real good look at the opportunity following the RNS because IMO this is going only one way and that is up DYOR etc.

Inccorect in the case of Tesco it is not a race to the bottom especially as its latest figures show an increase in all aspects including market share, turnover, profitability, reduction of debt, reduction of pension liability, increases in footfall, popularity and most of all it has widened the gap between its competitors as the UK’s number one grocer. Put that in your pipe and smoke it - tat ta!!

You have nothing of interest to post here after the Stella performance the new BOD have put into turning this company around and the copious quantities of egg you will have on your face if and when the Booker deal is done will add further to our amusement. There is no better time for investors to come in IMO and experience large upsides with the leading company in its field with profits souring and the promise of increasing dividends to come. If people want to go to the discount shoppers so be it but they will never get the range of products and will always end up shopping with the likes of Tesco. All of your comments are If's and But's whereas mine are based on hard hard facts supported by a superb RNS which you still cant come to grips with. Your inference that this first rate BOD have possibly entered into skulduggery to somehow fix the pension valuations or figures is an appalling inference and beneath contempt. You are proving to be a vile de ramper desperately trying to get in at low levels by inferring facts and twisting many aspects of the BOD's successes which are superb. You have shown to be wrong on just about every aspect of your dialog here and cannot find it in your twisted opinions to acknowledge that you are wrong and that the performance of the company and the BOD has proved you wrong.

Wrong again matey Tesco made �165m towards profits from property sales 14% increase on fresh produce is an across the board figure and covers the industry as a whole - Tesco wins in this sector because of its initiatives with farmers and producers and is heading the area of fresh products through local sourcing and agreement s - again read the RNS The turnaround is successful in about all departments you care to mention. Most buyers cannot get there entire shop from Aldi or or Lidl and therefor have to shop twice - whatever you say you have dodged the main points relating to the great results Tesco has and will continue to deliver, and most of all they have blown apart your argument on profitability, and your stupid claims relating to the pension which I note you have stopped mentioning!!!!!!!

Oh and in case you forgot 24.9% on Group Profits so everyone from the supplier to the customer seems to be very happy indeed including the Shareholders !!

Taken from the RNS Chairmans statement: In October, we shared our plans to create long-term value for stakeholders, and in November, Dave Lewis and the management team invited investors, supplier partners and analysts to Tesco�s offices in Welwyn Garden City to hear more about the six strategic drivers at the heart of those plans. Does not sound to me as though they are screwing the supplier, far from it they are working with them for the benefit of all. And the CEO says: Supplier partners Strong partnerships with our suppliers mean we can serve our customers better, invest in innovation and grow our businesses together for the long term. This year we have relaunched our online Supplier Network, which now has over 5,000 members. Reflecting the strength of our partnerships, for the first time we topped the independent supplier survey run by Advantage in October, and our own internal Supplier Viewpoint survey shows that 77% of suppliers are positive about their relationship with us. We were also pleased to be recognised by supply chain body GS1 UK, for leading the industry in supporting small British suppliers.

Try looking at the RNS you will see that Tesco increased its market share which indicates that contrary with your assertion that customers are put off by Tesco and its buying policy. They obviously could not give a jot and indeed there is no assertion or proof that Tesco is doing anything other than getting it right - The customers are happy and the suppliers it would appear are more than happy to supply, and there is no proof to the contrary - only that they are winning more share of the market, increasing profits, reducing the pension liabilities and paying dividends Back under the bridge Troll !!

Whats Up WWT - see you have run out of steam since the RNS LOL now how much did they manage to pay off the pension and still pay a dividend?? As for the relationship with our suppliers that was old news and the BOD are fully aware of the old BOD methods which admittedly led to poor relationships with Tesco. I believe that our relationship with all suppliers is fine and have seen no news of suppliers not wishing to deal with Tesco nor indeed anything that states a squeeze on suppliers. Frankly ALL supermarkets try to get the best margins they can especially to discount type stores so your comments are foolish and flawed. I think on your school report you are used to the teachers term of "Could do better" when desperately trying to deramp and short here

Albert - well your first target of under 180 within days failed lets see how your second target of under 170 within weeks - turning out like your 150 prediction in June - perhaps you should plug in your Chrystal ball maybe it might work a bit better then ????

Will try again - what is the current stance on the unions pension offer to the BOD

Poor reasoning on tha poor IS part of your job is to make money so you can enjoy salaries and pensions - wake up evolve or find other jobs to do because as it is your demands are unsustainable

On Xmas everything has changed as it is the busiest time for the UK and also RM so as I said the blackmail card went out the window

When was the unions offer or proposal made as I have not seen it - was it made public if so would you be kind enough to point out the article showing details - many thanks Jonjo

Newspapers, coal industry, energy and many other sectors have had to change and whilst technology has been introduced there will need to be much more change to make the RM competitive in the days when emails and Skype and texts rule the written communications market. The parcels sector will become equally competitive with new companies squeezing the sector and margins becoming squeezed. The simple recognising that this sector and the competition either innovate or die is there for all to see. unfortunately that those unions and workers that fail to embrace this will ultimately be responsible themselves for there own jobs dissapering. The pension scheme as it stand is unaffordable so it has to be renegotiated to allow change to take place as has salaries which need to be changed in line with a bonus orientated package and scheme - not pleasant but that is the way of the world and there are plenty that will readily embrace it. The court ruling on the strike is yesterday another example of how out of touch the unions are and how little they understand current legislation and employment practice and the I'm all right Jack" era of one out everyone out strike does not work. I feel that the management and BOD need to smarten up there act especially the pay element which itself needs to be more success orientated as shareholders like me will hold them to account and need to work with the workforce not just bulldoze changes through which is what true mediation is all about. It is a shame that it has come to this but regardless what many posters have said here they were playing the blackmail card as they were fully aware that his would cause the greatest damage over Xmas period and that has failed to much embarrassment of an out of touch union group of bullies and an equally few militant individuals. Let us hope that matters are now resolved in a fair and meaningful manner not just for the deserving workforce but also the investors who have put in hard earned cash to see a return on monies risked from what is the best service in the UK.

Hahaha go have a beer IS now you have lost your Xmas blackmail card Have a nice weekend

Could not run a bath let alone a company !

Well as for your union bring in charge of the ship it would appear it has hit the rocks - typical 70’s style union problem too busy to get out on strike than work out what the rules are lol

Some one has to lead the market and that would be Tesco - you know the company that is number one and makes over one billion check out the last RNS
