The Ubiquitousness of Tescos

[larians]

I know that a lot of people are uncomfortable with just how much commercial power Tesco have in this country, with figures of 1 in 6 domestic £ spent with this chain. However my experience today shows that other businesses really don't help themselves

I have Tesco insurance on my cats and in both instances that I have had cause to use it (one injury, one lost cat) they have been brilliant.

"On a complete tangent am I the only one that finds it ridiculous that I can't purchase foreign currency on my debit card without photo id, but can take out cash and proceed without it?"

Nope. Not at all.

On the plus side, at least the NatWest chappy was helpful in that he suggested an easy way to get round the $ purchase.

I think the post office is worse, never understood why anyone would want to bank with them lunchtime queues are awful.
For money exchange I check out rates as they vary so much. earlier this year I ended up buying online too (with my credit card & no id), secure next day delivery with no postage fee for the amount I spent. Will definitely use them again next time - Fairfx

Are you going to Australia then?

Alas no, not this year. My sister is and the cash is a birthday present.
