Even more so towards the point of the UK investigation. Only if you are a monopoly can you "seize" on certain openings, which you yourself can also help open.

This could also help explain some of the press events in the UK, since any connections between the supermarkets and papers are unknown. In the UK, it is indeed still unknown why certain papers printed certain headline stories which were completely incorrect. These were attributed to environmentalist groups, but how do we really know if there weren't any other connections? I can cite several examples, if you'd like...a few of them are already posted in this discussion group.

By the way, I've been to France. Love the baguettes and desserts, but everything else is pretty bad.

(you said)
Or perhaps a subplot with the supermarkets sensing an opening which they seized? As an aside it would seem from the article that French food is only 9% more expensive than here. If so, I would rate it better value.
