[Eulanna]

All I can say is, good luck, Tesco's!

If we end up getting more varieties of digestive biscuits over here it'll be worth it.

Decent British food?

[Tench]

Well I reckon they are going to end up doing the same as Marks and Sainsburys, but good luck to them...maybe they will single handedly get America into healthier food... :roll:

Only true cornish pasties suffice, Ginsters and the like from supermarkets just don't cut it. I wasn't a huge fan of pasties before living in cornwall, but I've been converted :P
