Chesterfield is a small town - so to have two pubs (Crispin & Somerset House) that Tesco want to convert - minimal cost I suppose to Tesco. But think countrywide, and I bet they have their eyes on thousands of pubs!!
Now that Tesco's new Boss has called the Fraud Squad in over their £250Million shortfall in profit projection, and suspended 8 top management, I guess they have some major problems to deal with internally, and in the meantime stop spending funds which they apparently no longer have. Makes you wonder where the missing money has gone - if indeed it is missing, or been misappropriated in any.
Make your own mind up on that one.
