For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Wow - two degrees in bio chemistry and:
- You ask a nonsensical question
- You think we are becoming a monoeconomy when you also imply that 75% of groceries are not purchased from Tescos
- You don't seem to understand the difference between "your" and "you're"
And who said that educational standards are dropping?
ok I blame Tesco for giving me goods at great prices milk at 35p a pint cheeper than the milkman
tesco might tell a company it wants to sell kettles at a fiver but it can only sell them at that, if a company finds a way of making them at less than that and not at a loss
its not like you can pile kettels up like sugar ? and sell at a loss is it ?
Buddy - bloomin glad I read your apology post as I'd jumped on my high horse straight away. It very much feels that you don't even like me when I agree with you. Hopefully this will be an initial phase, and you will stop disliking me soon.
I was being pedantic for a reason - I didn't know if the post was addressed directly to me or as a general comment. I wanted to be sure.
Do I presume one of these degrees is a masters samz90? Otherwise it seems a little pointless to do two. If it helps, my masters is in Law and Economics, so I've studied economics to a high level. Not understanding economics does not make a person thick, it simply means they haven't studied economics. Please could you provide a link or a sourced quote explaining mono-economy as compared with monopoly, and also could you tell me why and how Tesco is a mono-economy. I'm interested to know. Thanks.
Maybe there was a cross-posting type problem. Also, would like to sort the clique business out, but posted in another thread about that, as it's not relevant here. I genuinely did really agree with what you've posted on this Tesco thread... and still do.
I'm also still looking forward to a decent answer on the 'other side' of the debate. :-)
I am glad that my 'stupid' question has gained so much interest!
january_bug: I cannot find a link on mono economy (can't be bothered). Anyway we are all different. You have a Economics degree, I have Biochemistry degrees. Period.
If I asked you Which of these is a transferase enzyme?
Cytochrome oxidase
Glutamate-pyruvate transaminase
Ptyalin
All of these
Would you know the answer?
Samz90..
Whats biochemistry got to do with economics....just because you have two degrees in that field doesn't mean that you'd know toffee about economics :)
I don't think that janbug was insulting your inteligence just pointing out a possible error (as that sounds like their particular area of knowledge).
Its not tescos fault. They sell because we buy.
I've got a degree in blah didi blah blah blah. So what?
Firstly, January you will know that - at 25 per cent market share - tesco's is approaching a Monopoly position.
Secondly, It is true that large supermarkets offer convenience and low prices. Choice is another matter. Supermarkets are the epitome of the trend towards large, out of town, homogenous retailing. Less choice not more.
Supermarkets are really big in order to limit competition. They do this by driving down costs. Their massive scale allows them to source in bulk from the cheapest suppliers around the world. Cheapest often means worst conditions for workers (or chickens, or pigs). It also means that many goods which could be sourced locally travel thousands of miles at great cost to the environment
Furthermore, they locate their stores out of town which means people have to drive to them (more petrol). This also makes it hard for the elderly and poor people to get to them, and stops us all from stretching our legs.
One of the reason that pubs have taken over our town centres is because of Tescos and the like moving retailing out of town.

Tesco is indeed approaching monopoly position, precisely why I suggested that the word samz90 was meaning was monopoly. I actually hadn't realised their share was that big. In theory supermarkets represent a near perfect competition scenario, but I suppose now, in practice, they don't.
As for the "Who wants to be a millionaire" question....
The answer is B. GPT levels are tested to check for liver damage. The enyzyme is also known as Alanine transaminase. This is the only enzyme you listed that appears in the transferases category of enzymes.
Now for my questions....
What's your point?
Are you only showing off about your biochem degrees because you can't come up with a decent arguement about Tesco?
