ActionAid claims that Tesco is threatening producers, namely farmers in order to buy their produce at low prices. Tesco says no. I see a slip here. Do you?
ActionAid state that they have received a complaint from a South African fruit farmer. The farmer suggests that Tesco uses de-listing as a negotiating tactic, by claiming that we could buy apples from another supermarket cheaper than the farmer’s prices.
Firstly either ActionAid has misquoted the farmer, or there is a misunderstanding since we do not buy apples from other supermarkets as he seems to suggest. It is difficult for us to investigate such a claim without the full details. We suggest ActionAid makes more details available to us, at which point we would be happy to investigate the circumstances.
To me, ActionAid says that the farmer says that Tesco says that they could buy apples from another supermarket cheaper than the farmer's prices. Not that they did. Tesco's defensive reply definitely raises an eyebrow.
Shame on thee, Tesco!! Not that I have anything against Sarah Hughe's husband, who is the CEO of Tesco Malaysia or something. I'm sure he's doing a wonderful job. It's the whole anti-establishment and eyebrow slant today.

No magic or super powers, just needs loads of cash, a plane, some blood, and a pinch of luck.
I'm actually a really sweet person. No, really. I dig Tim Tam's, except when I have a sore throat.
I also swear by rambutans and white wine being the ultimate after-dinner combination of bitter and sweet.
Love to hang out, but don't do it enough. Detests clubs for their funny smell and awful base-banging.
Is thinking I am generally untalented, but has the attitude to make up for it.

On your first date, never, ever, say 'smurf penis'.
Even though that blue horn on the wall looks like one.

you count down ten to one because when on zero you can smile
Because desire is full of endless distances
