Oh don't get me started. Tesco were THE discount store when I was growing up. Mind you I also remember Fine Fare, Gateway and Vivo...nothing to do with Morecambe of course or indeed transfer rumours but fun to remember. I see your Fine Fare, Gateway and Vivo and raise you with Safeway, Bejam and Rainbow! Not forgetting specialist meat and food shops - Dewhurst and MacFisheries! I’m going to have to raise you again, with Shoppers Paradise (a truly budget supermarket) and the International Stores

I’m going to have to raise you again, with Shoppers Paradise (a truly budget supermarket) and the International Stores The ‘International’ chain ….wow, you have just taken me back in time about 40 years ….never thought a match thread about a postponed game against Morecambe could be so interesting.

Raise you again with W J Adkins on perne road corner. That may well win. That Corner is now known as "Adkins Corner" rather than "Perne Rd Corner". What a legacy.
