Tesco are a Big size dicks to.There was a story how about Tesco paying 50% of a contract and renegotiating other 50% after the delivery’s were made.
Image u come to a counter in Tesco. U have to pay 60£ U pay 30£ then ask for manager to negotiate better deal for you on your other 30£.
That would be nice.
Tesco is a minnow compared to Unilever.

Massive inflation is just what the country needs. The race to the bottom will end then. The housing bubble will burst and the reset button will be pushed. A report on radio 4 this morning said house bricks were worth ove £400 each. Not a bad mark up considering they’re purchased for under 30p each.The housing bubble won’t burst, our housing stock just got discounted by 20% to any foreign investor, the Chinese are grabbing bloomin apartments in Slough by the hundreds for a 20% discount,
If so they must be confident that the pound will recover and the UK economy won’t collapse in the long term.
Really? By buying up everything they can get their hands on for a 20-30% discount they make sure it doesn’t enter the open market and keeps the rental yields over 8%, even if the pound doesn’t recover, they still make more then putting their cash into an ISA.
Overseas Chinese investors can put their money in many things that will give them a decent return, their buying properties in the UK is a problem for those trying to get into the housing market, but it also encourages developers to build.
Of course if they think the risks are high, such as the Country heading into the sort of economic recession we saw in the early 80’s a sudden sell off could cause the price crash predicted so many times, with all the problems that causes.
Although it sounds good for first time buyers, it doesn’t seem to work that way as the economy seems to rely on ever increasing house prices for consumer confidence in what is predominantly a service economy.
We live in interesting times in so many ways, and I’m now beginning to understand why it’s used as a curse.

Tesco Turnover to Feb 16, £54,433m
Unilever €53.3 billion turnover in 2015

I think the public can be fantastically dullard and short memoried. Steered like lemmings by the press, jumping to any old latest tune.Whatever people may think of Unilever Tesco are not a company that have showered themselves in glory. They for not one minute are the consumer “saviours”. They’re are their own “image and profit” saviours. I know of a chap who is a big supplier to Tesco in certain products that originate overseas.Their treatment of small suppliers for example is borderline greed insanity.
+1
Tesco are no angels, been known to exert loads of pressure on suppliers and those that stand in their way of building stores.
This is Unilever trying to exert the same pressure on Tesco’s they exert on their smaller suppliers.

UK vs. worldwide?
wheelnutt:
The pound versus the dollar crashed 20% since the Brexit vote so the material cost of a company like Unilever goes up more than 20%, even domestic commodities have seen a price rise of 20%, wheat before the referendum 115 quid, now it is 135 quid so you want an international company to swallow that cost and not pass it on?
Unilever have been trying to up the prices in Ireland as well by 10-19%, blaming the falling pound as a reason even though Ireland uses the Euro.

You start that the bubble won’t burst then follow it with a classic description of speculators buying into a bubble activity.

You need a pair of balls to do that and you need unity and also you need to have respect for what you do for a living and that way you get it back, and pigs will fly before that happens
Unilever need to say “these are our prices, take it or leave it” and then Tesco need to decide whether to take it or leave it.

Yep, I don’t really understand all the drama either, firms will either buy and stock their products or not. Tosco’s are tossers in general, so I can’t understand the support they are getting. Business is all about negotiation with both parties trying to get the best deal for each of them, and this normally goes on behind closed doors. The fact we now have Brexit and lots of hype and hot air so I guess it’s news, but what a load of fake media bollox…

Welcome to the real world, the reason this has happened is Tesco will have to up it price on its shelves for them products and because the likes of aldi and lidl don’t stock most of them products they will be even cheaper to shop in than before and that’s the only reason Tesco kicked up about it, they are getting the floor wiped with prices from other supermarkets,
Another fact for the top IQ boys common sence
I don’t think I can boycott Cornetto.
This situation is getting real!
