Tesco has become bored with simply taking in every pound we earn, and has decided to own the houses we live in too.
Soon there will be Tesco mini-villages, as the supermarket chain has announced it will be building four small communities, each complete with its own Tesco store. There could be more Tesco towns in the future.
The four villages already on the drawing board are in the South East. They will be in Streatham, South London; Bromley-by-Bow, East London; Woolwich, south-east London and Dartford, Kent.
The Streatham scheme will include 200 homes, a bus depot and an ice rink. So native Streathamite Naomi Campbell (pictured) will no longer have to travel across London for her grocery and ice-rink needs.
There will be a few "mixed-use living and leisure" built in the North East and Ipswich.
