Tesco demands refund after paying nearly £1m for six bikes Guardian 25 Nov 2009



Tesco is taking a subsidiary of Mike Ashley?s Sports Direct to court in a bizarre case involving half a dozen bicycles and almost £1m.



Britain?s biggest retailer has launched a legal action against Universal Cycles amid claims that a member of the supermarket chain?s finance team mistakenly paid £984,000 for six bicycles.

So the oh-so-perfect (or maybe the store that everyone now loves to hate



- having shopped there) Tesco has slipped up. Apart from the boring legal spat (that will only enrich the legal profession), I wonder if the Tesco employee who failed to notice the zero in the wrong place will be getting a zero on their next payslip...
