Alright Nonu, who is this Enid Jones? grin Has she totally pissed off Tescos? (I like her if she has)

found her

I'm definitely on her side. Hope she doesn't get her house compulsively purchased! #Onwards Enid!

I love feisty old birds , they the best .

Reminds me a bit of the chap in Scotland who opposed Donald over the golf course .

All power to their respective elbows .

I have a horrible feeling Tesco will win the day - although wouldn't it be great if they had to build around her!

Sunseeker , somewhere in the mists of time I seem to think that , or something similar happened

Many years ago, when they were building the M62, a farmer refused to be bought out, and they had to route the motorway around his farmhouse, and he has tunnels for bringing his sheep in from the hills, but hey, he won against officialdom! Good luck to Enid!

Bit like the film 'Up' that had me in tears. Go Enid.

Bravo Edith Jones. Most of the supermarkets are unprincipled but I think Tesco's is the worst of the lot with its bullying and/or bribing tactics.

Sorry - ENID Jones.
