THE LAW IS AN ASS

There's nothing more tedious than queuing at the checkouts in Brigg's Tesco score, as customers and staff wait for the clock to tick round to 10am when the law allows them to start serving. And not a minute sooner!
That's not meant as a criticsm of the way the store operates - it stays within the law. But, as Charles Dickens so famously wrote in Oliver Twist, the law is an ass!
You can buy your Sunday papers from other outlets in Brigg before 10am, but not the same newsprint if you collect it from the shelves in Tesco.
