 * One headline has "The town that's telling Tesco to BOGOF: Residents oppose supermarket giant's planning proposal"; I don't know what the means.

 * I have removed the third sense, but kept the quotation in the entry to prominently display the possible metaphorical use / extension of meaning. - -sche (discuss) 06:09, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
