Any Other Business – 16/08
■ Sit back and relax. At least that was the message Asda appeared to be sending to journalists at yesterday’s press conference by scattering cushions on every seat. And comfortable they were too. Plumped-up cushions – this time tagged with little brown labels saying “take me” and decorated with retro moustaches – are a favourite giveaway at the supermarket chain’s half-yearly meets. Last time there were cushions adorned with metallic silver pineapples and red parrots. Judging by the number of seats still with cushions yesterday, the moustaches were less of a hit.
