The Evil That Is Sainsbury's (or Tesco)

Hoole is a suburb of Chester which was originally a village, before it was swallowed up by urban sprawl. Nevertheless, it still has a very 'villagey' feel, with its good quality shopping streets where you can buy local produce and bump into the neighbours for a chat. The shopkeepers know and welcome their customers and the food is generally of a high quality. Until now, that is. Against strenuous objections Sainsbury's are being allowed to open one of their 'local' stores, and will be attempting to kill local small traders. I am voting in the only way I can - by refusing to buy anything from Sainsbury's ever again, and by supporting the local shops as much as possible. Tesco's wanted the the same site for the same purposes, so they join the boycott. I don't want to live in a world where the only choices are between competing supermarkets.
