Also which bit of "et al" are you having trouble with?

Nothing at all, you were using Tesco as a generic British supermarket,
so was I. If that is a difficult concept for you that is not my problem.

I was talking about all of them as was quite bloody clear in my initial
post which I just cut and pasted for you and it was this initial comment
that I continued to refer to.

I was also talking about all of them, hence the word 'generic'. I will
explain it in simple terms:

You were claiming that British farmers could set up a cartel and cause
the supermarkets, such as Tesco, to panic about their suppies. I merely
pointed out that given the world wide supply chains that supermarkets,
such as Tesco, have already set up, then said supermarkets, such as
Tesco, were unlikely to be that worried.

You then introduced the standard right-wing bogie man of the EU which
has nothing to do with the issue.

As for your obsession with mung beans, do British farmers actually
produce such things on any great scale?
