Nellie Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 3 hours ago, IOM said: Heard Martyn Perkins on Mannin Line today saying Tesco will be adding a “ small charge for carriage “ assumingly referring to the ferry costs . Went on to say 5p on a packet of cornflakes is reasonable! Sounds to me like further inflationary pressure coming to the island and Tesco are going to increase their profit margins as currently Lake Road runs the same prices as across and do not include any carriage costs to my knowledge. Perkins is just a retired bloke from Laxey, with, as far as I know, no connection to Tesco, Shoprite, or the retail or logisitics business. My interpretation of his comments was that he was just talking speculatively, perhaps saying what many people think, or expect, but without any authority or insight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way.? Tesco use one carrier, ShopRite another. It's called business. You don't have to suck anything up. You can shop where you want. If I was putting money on it I'd bet that Tesco paid less than ShopRite. Just a hunch I admit but I know how hard they bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a blatant attempt to make himself popular. It didn't with me. Typical low grade politician. Say what they think everyone wants to hear but absolutely no substance in what he was saying. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget the lengths he and Boot went to to top up their gold plated pensions with a £30k plus parachute payment. It wouldn't be quite so bad if either of them had done anything remotely good while in office. Useless greedy parasites! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
