In effect tesco blackmail and bully suppliers, including local farmers etc. I would like to see the OFT getting involved rather than boycotting.

Tesco are not the only ones to do this there was a big stink lately in one of the trade mags about several chains that are putting suppliers under an incredible pressure demanding lower prices or in the case of Matalan refusing to pay on the agreed date so they could launch a TV advertising campaign. Quite frankly I find this a disgusting practice and it does put me off shopping with them.
