Do shoppers want Tesco tamed?

Just four years after Tesco first reported full year profits of £1bn, the sprawling supermarket chain has now managed the same feat in six months, writes city editor Julia Finch.

The retailer is expanding in all directions - from taking on Argos with a new catalogue and online range of big ticket items including furniture, pushchairs and electricals to building a new chain in the US and planning another for India.

While other retailers have tried and failed to expand abroad, Tesco seems to have found a successful formula.
