An enormous pink slug which, on closer inspection, turns out to be Jamie Oliver's severed tongue.

As I recall, there was an ashtray or similar which contained ashes he sprinkled around himself to form the protective circle in the ‘House of Fun’. But that’s working purely from memory… apart from that, I don’t recall anything else being revealed as being inside the bag.
Though I’m ready to be corrected. In fact, I welcome it, as my copies of the Invisibles are elsewhere right now.

Tesco, if I recall correctly, stands for TE Stockwell Company. It was actually named after an employee of the owner, who is the father of Dame Shirley Porter, disgraced Tory grandee. It is currently I believe the UK's most successful superstore.

The cafe does nice sausage and chips but overall it's a bit pricey. They do stock proper Basset's Jelly Babies though, not shitty "store's own" ones like Safeway.

It's a very normal place. Hence, bit of a break from convention. Enlightenment in a plastic Tesco bag.

Every LOL helps.

alolalolol!

Tesco used to be the 'dirtier' of the supermarkets when I wass growing up - people would sing to fleabags at school 'you're going to shop at Tesco, where your mum gets your best clothes' - mainly in honour of a pair of 99p plimsols that they sold that the poor kids used in PE classes. It is now number one, making a pound from every 7 spent in the Uk or something ridiculous. A new one opened near me recently, but it is stale, sterile and a bit unfriendly, so I shop a Sainsbury's - they do proper Jelly Babies as well. And Tunnock wafers.

As much as I'm liking this thread, its ties to this forum are getting ever more tenuous. If we don't get back to comics soon I'm going to request a move to Convo, so as to avoid this kind of mess.

OK, this is rather on topic: In Kill Your Boyfriend (page 7, panel 3 - and yes, I did have to look it up...) if you look closely, there's a man carrying a bag with a Tesco style striped logo, but with the word "Arse" instead.

Always happy to be of service...
