Netto / Asda POIs

Daggers · Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 4:08 pm Post subject: Netto / Asda POIs

Can I suggest another two POI categories to merge? Netto was recently bought by Asda.

According to Wikipedia (and other sources): "In May 2010, Netto UK was bought by Asda for £778m to increase its smaller store portfolio. The rebranding of 147 former UK Netto stores under the Asda name was complete by the end of the summer of 2011. Competition laws required Asda to sell the remaining 47 stores to other companies such as Morrisons, new convenience store UGO, and other retailers"

Therefore about 75% of Netto stores became Asda, while the other 25% were sold off. PGPSW currently has 112 Nettos in the database, which are clearly all currently incorrect, as Netto no longer exists.

I did have an email from a User who was preparing to work through the list. I haven't heard any more since then. Rolling Eyes

The one in Tong Street in Bradford has already been corrected to 'UGO' - so I can't help much...

I changed the one in South Harrow a while back.
Shame, used to bulk buy lots of stuff from them for the tea club etc, including excellent offers on the wines and single malts (OK it was Jura most of the time). Not to mention frozen food, paper towels/toilet rolls etc.

I won't go on Smile

I can't see any objection to the OP, some will still be wrong, but not any more wrong than they are now, and most will be correct. I've submitted changes for some ones I knew, so they're already corrected.

As there seems to be little appetite for merging these two categories en masse, I'll volunteer to work through as many as I can individually. My original thought was that it would be easier for all concerned if the whole lot were changed at once.

Now that I've finished a lot of work on Alliance & Leicester sites, I should be able to fit it in. (OT: There are still a handful of A&L ATMs left on the database, but I can't work out what these have changed to).

Thanks for this, Richard. I've identified and submitted a few that have definitely changed to Morrisons, but am leaving the Asda ones to be chenged automatically (unless there is a name change also required).

It must be a never-ending job keeping on top of POI submissions, so thanks for all the work that you do.

Richard... Take heart in the knowledge that you do a better job than the whole of TomTom/Teleatlas put together!

I am afraid that when I tried to merge the Nettos into Adsa today I made a big mistake and managed to transfer Tescos to Asda instead. I do have a backup of the pre-merge data but that is at home and I will not get back until Saturday.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
