Tesco's will be open tomorrow until 7pm and as the sign outside shows, also on New Year's Day but the car park was full and there were queues both to get into the store and to get away from it. The population seems to have adopted a siege mentality and appears to be stocking up for a long time. Maybe the impending VAT rise could be having an impact too but when the trading figures are released stores will have made ONLY umpteen millions and profits will be down. A profit is a profit so why all the talk of doom and gloom? David Cameron complains of the opposition talking the country down but that is precisely what he did when on the other side of the house. Pot? Kettle? Black?
