Went to a mobile bash last night, which was very interesting. Had a talk with people who made Tesco iPhone App, was surprising the ways in which the app was used, which was never predicted. Certain things like people scanning items in Sainsburys to compare prices was expected, but not this:
They found that with the addition of a bar code reader on the app (which some said bit gimmicky) - They had considerable amount of customers who would enter a Tesco store, scan certain items with the phone app, then leave 
Turns out older generation were using the app to do their "shopping" picking what they want, then leave and press go to order online, so its delivered, save having to carry heavy items.
Of course the real reason I went was the free open bar & domino's pizza's - Looked an interesting company to work for, the open bar was there every day 
- people just helped themselves after work! Filled with decent beer too Peroni, Corona, Leff, Magners and so on.
Apparently this company had a profit per employee of over 1million, so they could easily afford it.
Finished the evening by going here: http://www.madisonlondon.net/
As MrsT organised an event there, more free beer & food 
I always see it as a challenge to drink as much free booze as possible 
Why waste money on driving to Tesco, just go online and click on the items you want.....
