TESCO is moving into HOME REPAIRS - and selling handyman services ranging
from plumbing to pest control.

I shall watch with interest. B&Q had a go for a while & seem to have given
up.

interesting if preducatble quotes from "local tradesmen" - shouldn't
be allowed etc - course if the customers weren't already worried about
who they can trust to do a job and not take the p1ss they wouldn;t
need the perceived clout of Tescos to hold their hand would they?

Closed shop wingeing "tradesmen" everywhere need to pull their fecking
fingers out and rise to the challenge IMHO.

You should certainly "watch with interest". Be afraid, very afraid Meddling
Half-wit - or as Tesco might say to you:

"My name is Tesco, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Lowly, and despair!"

What a bitter, twisted, sad little man you are.

More to the point the "blogger" on the ultimate handyman site seems to
have missed the bit about Tesco basically just acting as a middle man
and passing on the work to local tradesmen who meet their accreditation
requirements.

mmm - symptomatic of the underlying problem methinks ;)
