Blackberries and Tesco

People justify their use of Tesco by saying they are near the bread line and have to shop as cheaply as possible.

If people are so strapped for cash - why are there so many blackberries in the hedgerows of highly frequented places? (Just returned from Chittery Lane, one of the main routes up Hoad)

This reinforces my provocative view that people who shop at Tesco are hypocrites. Nothing wrong with that - we're all hypocrites in one way or another - but Tesco shoppers won't like to admit it! They aren't that short of cash - they just go for the unthinking option when if they must buy their blackberries, there is the Coop down the road.

Maybe people don't have the time to go and pick blackberries

Yes I thought about that and wondered if i was write to criticise, but sure many will have time to watch tele.

I was just shocked that so few free fruit were being picked.

If people are really hard up then 'free' would have a high rating.

Many have little money because they are unemployed - then surely there's no excuse . . . . is there ?
