Getting to the shops

Tesco is said to have been beaten by its rivals in the battle for Christmas sales. Finance Director Laurie McIlwee blamed the weather. The company had spent £15million on keeping stores open, their car parks were clear, but many customers could not, or chose not, to drive anywhere in those icy snowy conditions.

Well yes, but why were not rival supermarkets just as badly affected?

Could it be that even more people than usual recognised the benefit of stores which are easily accessible to those who travel by public transport or on foot.
