Tesco still manage bizarre substitutions though. But basically people are still better at that sort of job, the Ocado approach was just too buggy and capital-intensive. And Tesco has moved to using dedicated warehouses rather than existing stores.

isn't it originally because Tesco rolled it out just after them using min-wage people picking stuff from local stores rather than an automated supermagic massively-expensive warehouse?

Basically, no one in journalism now know how to do it. They follow the Beeb's approach to 'balance'. Two talking heads on a see-saw.
It's cheaper than having well-funded newsrooms and proper researchers.

There's something evil at the heart of the Home Office, which either attracts viscious bigots to the HS job or turns politicians into vicious bigots when they get there.
The last truly progressive HS I can remember was Roy Jenkins.

Some supermarkets here in the UK still have counters/departments for 'provisions'. I don't think most customers know the difference, but many in the trade will. The term 'provision merchant' now exists only in ghost signs....
