Hi Ed, I totally agree with you but what are we going to do about it. There is a Tesco store here in Galway, I have not used the site myself yet but might need it in the future.

You're right of course Audrey that this kind of way of doing things with on-line sales, especially with a company the size of Tesko, which really should be able to afford to pay for a proper reconstruction including accessibility in the design. With 50 million disabled citizens in the EU, and probably a lot more who aren't defined as such, particuliarly with the vip population who tend to skew to the older age group, which might both want its shopping delivered anyway, plus not defining itself as "disabled", just not being able to see as well as they used to, you would think the company would realise that this is a good marketing device.

It is about time, Tesco integrated the "accessible" site into the main site, and made all accessible instead of having two "fairly dodgy" sites! This could be an ongoing dilemma if we as a group in society don't put pressure on the powers that be so as to realise change! p.s. Has anyone had a difficulty in finding Fig-rolls and other biscuits on the access site? we never seem to be able to find certain items that we should have in the various categories?

Such is the way with some of the Amazon sites arund the place. If you pprefer, turn off Forms Mode with Insert+z before doing this. (I have no Tesco store, locally.) ----- Original Message ----- From: Sandberg, Robert To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 10:46 AM Subject: [vicsireland] FW: tesco website Hi Maria! Yes, I experienced exactly the same. I'd say it's Tesco's fault. They've recently made some changes and since then I've had this problem. In my case it did work after several attempts though. Just to make sure I'll forward this to VICS. It is conceivable that we need to change our browser settings to correspond with what ever they've done to the site. But I doubt it.

Februar 2007 16:28 To: ireland vip news Subject: [IRELANDVIPNEWS] tesco website Hi folks. Last night I did my Tesco shopping on line as usual. This time however I've had some very annoying problems with tesco access site. First off, almost every time I'd press the add selected products to basket button or the update your basket button, I'd get this message telling me that such page was not found on tesco.ie web site, therefore I ended up going back to the previous page and pressing the button again. It usually worked when I did it the second time round. When I got to checkout however and pressed the confirm my order button, I got that stupid message again no matter how many times I went back and tried again! At the end I had to do my ordering via the main tesco site and that was some very big pain in the neck! I nearly had an apoplectic shock by the time I finally managed to put my order through. What I'd like to know is this: had anybody else experienced the same problem with the tesco access site lately or is it just me? The reason I need to know is because if someone else experienced this, then we've got a problem with the site once again and we'd need to bring it to the attention of the site developers. If however it's just me, then there must be something wrong with my own internet settings and there would be no need to disturb anyone at tesco if that is the case. I'd be very grateful if someone could either let me know if they'd had problems lately or if indeed someone wouldn't mind logging into the tesco access site and adding a few items to their basket and then removing some items and pressing the update basket button in order to see if the problem is with the site. Thanks a million in advance, Maria. _______________________________________________ IRELANDVIPNEWS mailing list IRELANDVIPNEWS@xxxxxxxx http://lists.ie/mailman/listinfo/irelandvipnews __________ NOD32 2045 (20070208) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
