Travelaters!

Some interesting things we learned yesterday The “trollies” (shopping carts) are locked, to take one you put a one Pound coin in the lock to release it. When you’re thru and put the trolley back in the rack you get the coin back. The “Tesco” store is somewhat like our Walmart’s. It has food on the main floor and clothing etc. on the second floor. Between the levels is a trolley escalator, the "travelater". When you roll onto the escalator, magnets in the wheels lock so it can’t roll.  I took a video and will try to post it. Most everything is sold in small packages. Two small romain lettuce in a package, the iceberg lettuce is about the size of a grapefruit. They only had Coke and Pepsi in regular and diet and none of their other stuff. Everything else was local brands, but they do have several aisles of booze. Most of the meat is sold vacuum packed but they have a first class meat counter that’s very impressive. Tesco is special because they don’t charge to park like most others do. The parking spaces are tiny as are most of the cars.
