Seems a lot of time and trouble to get a store built. They could have bought Holy Cross and built an Amersham sized store. It would have been open by now.

As one of the 93.7% of the local population who voted against Tesco building a store here when the plans were first announced (14 years ago now Angry ) I for one never intend to enter the place and I hope that other residents who feel the same will also boycott the place....
Wouldn't it be ironic if Tesco were to name the building Prescott House

Yes that useless bar steward Prescott, who was only in Blair's govenment to appease the unions, rubber stamped the application on appeal after all local planning authorities had turned it down.

in what way does it look good? just a mess of ash, rubble and machinery. Been like that for years. Good is not a word I would use to describe it.

And I too will not set foot in there.

Tesco's as a company are starting to really get on my nerves, they seem to be on every high street and any spare unit they buy and make yet another Tesco's outpricing and killing the local independant grocer's, butcher's, florists etc. 
 
Personally i now make a conscious effort and try to avoid spending any money in them. 
Too many laws...
Too few examples...

From a construction point of view it is starting to look good.
 
Tesco is a great british success story!  They are the biggest private employer in the county and there is no other shop i can go to to get everything i need in one morning.  Tesco rocks!
