It’s bad enough when Tesco keep referring to their proposed new supermarket in Seaton as an ‘eco-store’, but when the local press repeat the same Tesco propaganda, it’s even more infuriating.
Let’s not be hoodwinked here, Tesco’s new store may, or may not, have a long list of worthy green credentials, but it’s still a supermarket (an unsuitably oversized one) first and foremost.
No amount of solar panels can alter that fact.

Pyscho-analysing
The conclusion of the BBC2 series Pyschoville will leave a huge, half-hour void in my Thursday evenings.
When the series was unveiled a few people sneered, reckoning that, without the talents of Jeremy Dyson and Mark Gatiss, the new venture would fail to achieve the success of The League of Gentlemen (whose third series in particular was the work of genius).
People needn’t have worried, though. Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith created a programme that was, somehow, even better than their previous work. Occasionally poignant, usually hilarious, often warped, it was always brilliantly clever. It made the current crop of television comedies appear even more lazy than usual.
It will be missed.
