# I think technically you were correct if it was pointlessly abbreviating
"Tesco's playing b3ta" as in "Tesco is playing b3ta"
But now I'm trying to work out if Tesco is an is or an are

# Debatable, it can be seen as either a single entity or a collective depending on your point of view/who's paying you.

# "Tesco is" was my original intention
but taters comment made me confused and sleepy, so I changed it.

# Sainsbury's and Butlin's are correct as in
belonging to Mr Sainsbury or old Billy.

# I couldn't get a real Tesco Value greeting card for my brother, so I made one.
Inside it had tick boxes for Happy: Christmas / Easter / Birthday / Wedding / Funeral.

Though I quite like the gag about a Valentine's one that says 'You are the only one for me' and 'part of a multipack: not to be sold separately'.

# hahahah
I wish someone would go to so much trouble for a greetings card for me sometime! There is even a website now where you can print off mock Tesco Value cards for various occasions but I so want this Mother's Day one to be real...

I did a powerpoint presentation about branding some months ago and mocked up this for one of the slides. I'm not sure but I think the Asda one may even have been real at one time.

# It is real
Am still debating with myself whether to give this to my wife from my 3 year old son
