(Bad) joke of the day

Today's FT reports, "Tesco is breaking into the Indian retail market with plans to open cash-and-carry stores." Shurely they mean "cash-and-curry"?

I wonder how long before their protesters campaign against them. I've never known a more unpopular supermarket. However, when my local paper announced that Aldi was opening in the town, people were delighted. Yet in Manningtree last week, the smallest town in the country, local people formed a human chain to complain against yet another Tesco on their doorstep.

Hi Ellee - we'll see if they cause riots in India.

Hi Anon - over what period of time is this 4 degree rise predicted?

Yes, "Cash and curry" has a much better ring to it, and might even tempt me, WW!
