Oh dear!

How to alienate almost all of your customer base in one fell swoop. :cool2:

Piss the Catholics off by hiring the flute band and then upset the Protestants by telling them to sling their hook. :faf:

I read this earlier today.

Major blunder by whomever employed the band and potentially destroy the store before it's off the ground.

Sad that we live in a country where this ***** goes on.

Take it there will be opening offers on oranges?

they then dug themselves a deeper hole by saying it was only cancelled because of health and safety, no mention about them being a sectarian bigoted flute band :bitchy: i think whoever organised this will be collecting the trolley's for a long time(no offence to trolley collectors btw) :greengrin

A female Tesco representative later claimed the band had been cancelled because of fears over health and safety and swelling crowd numbers at the store.
