Tescos etc using strong arm methods to put local shops out of business.

Local people put local shops out of business when they stop using them.

Local shops provide excellent service for single/retire people and
families doing in-between shops. Taking travelling cost into account,
they are not that much more expensive (if used with caution).

On the sorts of things I buy the local shop is 20-30% more expensive than
Tesco.
