Tesco hires weathermen

By Cara Sulieman

SUPERMARKET giants Tesco have hired a team of weathermen to make sure that they are stocking the right things – and hopefully boost sales.

Six experts have been brought in the hope that they can stop shops from running out of popular goods and cut waste by having less unwanted food.

If the country is set for a sunny spell, then more burgers and sausages will go on the shelves – but if cold weather is predicted then comfort food like puddings and soup will be wheeled out.

The weather has a profound effect on the nation’s buying habits, with the smallest change in temperature changing sales dramatically.
