    Tesco Direct and Safari

    Just wondering if it's me, or my setup or what?!

    Virtually everytime I go to the Tesco Direct website, it really slows down the macbook. After browsing around, everytime a page is loaded, it seems to sit waiting for about a minute or two, whilst the beachball spinner just sits there spinning. Finally it will stop, and I can access the site again.

    Just wondered whether it was my macbook pro, or whether it's some script or something running on the site?! I do get the beachballs now and again, but this seems to constantly bring them up...

    Cheers guys

    Will give it a try on the ipod touch the missus is getting for christmas, and see what happens then. But will be in 19 days or so ). But, if anyone is using snow leopard 10.6.5, the it might be a system thing, or just a full safari (as I imagine the iphone version is a cut down version?!)

    I did a search for it last time I looked on their site as it was infuriatingly slow! Turns out that it's a problem known by both, but not being resolved by either! I sent Tesco an email reporting it, but never heard anything back!

    A link to the discussion:

    Bad play on both parts in my opinion.

    Funny I saw this of the only 2 threads in this section, because me and a friend were just discussing this the other day! LOL

    No one at Tesco uses a Mac apparently!

    Safari ain't to great in my opinion. I use Google Chrome which seems great.
