Because the profit figure includes one-off items and an adjustment for previous mis-statements. The underlying profit was still enormous at almost £800m.
So they made almost a BILLION in profit - rather early to count them out?
I'm really struggling to picture these hell holes too.
My Local tesco was immaculate, well lit, amazingly well stocked Yeah it wasn't awesome quality but you got what you payed for, like anything.
They had just brought in Self scanning again. It was a very nice retail space.

Me too, I don't ever recall going into any supermarket (including the likes of Aldi and Lidl) and thinking it looked any different to the rest ie. clean and well lit.
Perhaps I just have low standards

£112 million profit is bad? How could that be a crisis?

If you are referring to Meadows then I think it got a lot better, however having an express in half a mile up the road in Blackwater, one in Yateley, less than 5 minutes drive away and also one in Derby Green again less than 5 minutes drive away, with around 2 minutes between the Yateley and Derby Green ones is absolutely ****ing stupid. On top of that they also wanted to put an express in the old Tumble Down Dick in Farnborough a 2 minute walk from Asda/Sainsbury's and overall not that far from another Express 2 minutes drive up the road next the Potters' Arms if you know Farnborough at all.
Except it doesn't or atleast not according to family and friends of my mum who have all been moaning about it lately and gone to other stores instead.
They wouldn't do it if it didn't work.
Remember the 80's.
They used to known as one of the dumps to shop at. I allways remember the naff looking brick and concrete builds of the 60's/70's in every town i ever went in as a child.
Then they started building all those large shops on out of town parks and became the place to be in the 90's. Either way, good value on butternut squash, bigger the better and tesco marking £2 on those trumps the rest of the supers, local markets/shops.

My local one is quite big - 4 levels of parking though they only use 3 currently I think - not been down the lowest level in awhile, 2 levels inside the shop and a huge restaurant area, opticians, etc.
EDIT: Going by google maps the bottom bit is still open.
EDIT2: I seem to remember theres a tesco up around Lewisham area that is spread over ~8 levels as well from my time living up that way.
Doesn't sound like it is working

I always thought Slough was the biggest until at leat recently and that is just one level of parking and one level of Tesco (although some smaller retail outlets underneath). This one sounds like it's in a tower block or something.
Before, it was.
Thats assuming he was talking about it all being level on top of level - my local one is something like this where the lines are parking levels and S the store.

_______Doesn't come out quite right but you get the idea.
