Isopatch... I do have my reservations about Tesco:

1) it's trading at 3x book
2) market cap is 3x bigger than sales
3) the news coming out of Venezuela is of another coup - an OPEC unfriendly coup - which will have them pumping beyond what's allowed to cover budget short falls.

I'd have my finger on the trigger...
