TESCOLAND


If travelling in a Mobilhome it is practical to stop at supermarkets so that you can park easily.
By choice we would rather shop in small local outlets and markets. We haven’t found very many of these. Europe seems, even more than Britain, to have become Tescoland. I find this very depressing – frightening even when the news is about future worldwide shortages of food – even mentioned on the Voice of Russia as a problem created by western consumerism! Are we all going to rely on Tesco for rations and we all have to be Tesco card holders? Perhaps we all already are!
Of course it was a relief to park easily – small shops don’t accommodate livingvans but it was a shock as it seemed that Germany most of all had been ‘taken over’. These two pictures though were taken outside Prague. The scale of the Tesco was mind-boggling and as you can see there were no hordes of shoppers.
