    I loved the way they said, "And then there was the war with Denmark." It was fantastically out of left field, said in such a deliciously matter of fact way.

    Nice to see both Tesco stores in Carlisle being highlighted in this video. I never trusted those pesky stores. Who knew that that would be where it all began?

    the danske supermarket *fotex, netto, bilka, salling) is not owned by normal people either. It is owned by maerske who also happen to be the largest shareholders in the Danske Bank.
    I'm not sure if you misunderstood my first post saying I think Tesco coming Denmark would be a good thing

  • @bu11monkey
    @bu11monkey 15 лет назад

    actually tesco coming to denmark might not be such a bad thing. the danske supermarket owns the 3 biggest players and it might inject some competition into the market. i am kinda fed up with looking through the reklamer every week to see whether coke is 25 dkk or 9 for example. bilka, netto and fotex run a monopoly and it is not good for the people.
    I'm english and have lived in denmark for 4 years, so i have a reasonable idea.

  • @SystemFailure404
    @SystemFailure404 15 лет назад

    Well, I myself think its great, that theres some competition between the supermarkets, its all just business. Also, its great that the prices on fast food and other fat foods, are high, so more people would buy healthy food, plus the prices on vegetables is low. We are also more about liberalism than socialism, but mainly we are in for social-liberalism...

    dont got me wrong,i dont hate Denmark,i actually pretty much love it but nowadays totally changed a lot.i know cause im spending my second year here.during two years i noticed two things,first:the fact that Denmark is kinda "sinking" is because of the too much foreigner.Denmark not able to take that many people.the other,because of the "strangers" danish people is getting closed.when i`m arrived everyone were really friendly.maybe this is the third problem. Denmark is too tolerant.

    In what world is "ko-bem-hah-oon" correct? Technically it's probably alright to pronounce it in the German way as in this video, but all the Copenhageners I know prefer the not-German version.
    Of course, the native pronounciation would be even better.

      This is a common feature of British English, adding a possessive clitic to the names of businesses with retail premises. You could understand it as meaning something like "the shop belonging to the business called Tesco" or a rough equivalent of French "chez Tesco".

    I had the misfortune of going to a Tesco near Watford the other day and it was more like an airport than a shop: soulless, full of zombies who've watched too much ITV, and shitty products that nobody really needs. The car park was big enough to see from space, and must've covered enough green space to endanger several species.
    Strangely, the staff were friendlier than the other customers.
    I hate Tesco.

  • @inthesilence

    (cont) Tesco employed 250,000 peopel as well and is THE MOST GREEN of the big supermarkets. cut the compnay some slack - after all thank them for your cheaper food prices - because you don't think Asda has cut prices because it wants to do you???? Best of luck Tesco - keep delivering the goods!!!
