	Just doing a bit of trawling (in between making my Tesco order online) and found this interesting site: www(.)eastlondonhistory(.)com for those of you whose ancestors (poor sods) lived in the east end. Lots of brilliant stuff.

	Hi, EVERY time I mention Tescos to my dad (Im currently having them deliver groceries to him as he is 91! and wont have any homehelp at all) he goes into all the ins and outs of how Tescos started - so yes I did know!!!! It is an interesting site though, hours of fun looking at that when I get a chance.
