    Man drives Rolls-Royce through Tesco window after being refused alcohol

    A man drove a Rolls-Royce through the window of a Tesco supermarket yesterday after staff at the store refused to sell him alcohol.

    Six woman were injured as the glass windows shattered and shelves came crashing down. Two check-out counters were demolished.

    Witnesses said that the man had come into the store in Andover, Hampshire, at around 4.30pm to buy alcohol but had been turned away because he was already drunk.

    Minutes later, he drove at the store front in his luxury silver saloon. Although he failed to break through on his first attempt, he reversed, revved and came back for a second try.

    One Tesco worker described yesterday how the man had reversed a long way back to get a “good, clear run”. She said that she thought a bomb had gone off. “People were running for their lives, scattering in all directions,” she said. “Everyone was screaming. Check-out girls were shocked and crying. It was terrible.”

    Patrick Ford, 49, a store customer, said that it was “like a tidal wave of shelving” coming towards him. “I heard a huge crash and shattering glass and the shelving started collapsing around me,” he added.

    It is believed that the man, thought to run a chauffeur company, remained sitting in his car until police and paramedics arrived.

    Last night, a 50-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and drink-driving.

    ...."no, there are no such signs" was what he replied to me with.

    I disagreed with his assessment. he called security. I got barred.

    there goes the 150 euro I give to SuperValu each week for groceries. Off to Lidl I go.

    so, where have you ever been barred from, AH denziens?

    haven't been barred from a supermarket yet. The manager type fella u came across sounds like a smart arse bollix. Theres 1 of them n every shop or supermarket. I say go to his superiors like that other person said.Like,theres no fcukin way Tsar Supervalu above is a senior manager because wit dat attitude,he'd turn that sh1tty supermarket n2 more of a morgue than it already is. Pity da poor plebs workin alongside or 'under' him

    We were ejected from tesco one lunchtime for sniffing the fabric conditioners to see which one was the nicest. I wouldn't mind but I'm 31 and it was a genuine quest to find one that would leave the clothes smelling nice!!!

    Yeah but you probably should have just sniffed them from the bottles.

    Haven't been barred from one since I was a kid.


    Doing your weekly shop in Super Value was a bit uneconomical anyway?

    Evening all.


    tonight signals a new benchmark for me. I've been barred from a supermarket.

    At 9.40 I entered the supermarket with the intention of buying a few cans to go with my friday night chinese, as I usually do on friday evenings.

    i was greeted with the sight of the Assistant manager pulling the shutters down to the off licence section.

    I asked him why was he closing early, he said it was because the queue was too long. there were 5 people waiting to be served.

    Now, in this Super Valu, they put up signs at the front tills saying alcohol could be paid for there. I reminded the manager of this. he said there were no such signs. I offered to escort him to the front of the shop were said signs existed.

    then he said the queues were as long there. I told him I just pased them and they weren't as long there.

    "no, there are no such signs" was what he replied to me with.

    I disagreed with his assessment. he called security. I got barred.

    there goes the 150 euro I give to SuperValu each week for groceries. Off to Lidl I go.

    so, where have you ever been barred from, AH denziens?

    Have you thought of writing a letter of complaint to the shop and its head office! It might do nothing but you never know!

    I was barred from a Church once, but I'm good with the supermarkets.

    That precisely why they're banned in AH.

    it's easier for me to do nothing and never go in again than it is to start writing letters. And I'm so lazy I'm like a rug on valium.

    Can't say that I have been barred. However, having worked in SuperValu before and after being shunted from shop to shop (so I've had plenty of managers), I can safely say that I'm not one bit surprised at what you had to deal with. Being a jackass seems to be prerequisite for the job of manager in the organisation.:pac:

    Aye, and there goes another €150 out of the country.

    No, a large proportion fo that will go to Paying irish companies such as the ESB, or airtricity, as well as staff ligfing in ireland, VAT towards the government, lots of things. If every cent you spend stays in ireland, good luck to you. I'd be suprised if it did.
