Under investigation for price fixing.

In an independent price fixing comparison survey, it was found Tesco had fixed the price on 719 brand name products, not bad. But ASDA had fixed the price on 2,403 brand name products.

Why get conned anywhere else?

The b@stards are alleged to have been fixing tobacco prices. Hanging them by the balls is too good for them if its true.

IMO i think Asda, Tescos, Sainsburys, M&S, and Morrisons are rip offs.......................................

HAPPY SHOPPER FOR THE WIN

Britain's four biggest supermarkets are under investigation by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) for fixing prices of health, beauty and grocery products.

I can get fat, ugly and drunk without there encouragement !

asda serves no worldly purpose whatsoever as the checkout girls at tesco are much better looking. fact.

i prefer mercadona over almerika and mas y mas, but the yoghurts in dia are very good for the price. sorli discount was good but they don't have them in asturias. and i've never seen a fit check out girl in spain, i think they only employ the fattest, spottiest and grumpiest ones that apply.

I was near a Waitrose and decided to pick up a few bits and pieces. I saw a tennis game for PS2 and I don't recall seeing a decent one so I thought what the heck for a tenner. Anyway when I tried it a day or two later it didn't work, I took it straight back that evening and without me being aggressive, didn't even say it was unacceptable just that it didn't work, the woman gave me double me money back! I don't know if that's an official Waitrose policy or what, but ta very much. I'd have settled for me money back, wasn't expecting owt else.

Let's just hope the FA don't show similar generosity to them lids bats-tards

As for the price fixing, if they put all their prices online what do they expect? Make 'em walk round a shop to check their rival's prices and they wouldn't bother. Technology eh, who needs it?
