The information the supermarkets can lever off a woman's loyalty card is astonishing. They know when your period is, they know when you're pregnant and when you've given birth. Then the meter is really running - you need baby clothes, food, school stuff, insurance for your bigger car and house, and so on.
The previous government actually approached Tesco for access to information the supermarket had on people. Tesco quite rightly refused to divulge details but the mere fact that the government were interested is a little scary. What did they want to know exactly...how much alcohol we drank? How much processed food we ate?
