The BBC reports:
Sainsbury's has confirmed plans to merge with Asda, which is currently owned by US supermarket giant Walmart.
The supermarkets said that grocery prices would fall in both chains as a result of the merger.
Sainsbury's chief executive Mike Coupe said the deal would lead to no store closures and no job losses in stores.
Aye, well.  Believe if you like.  I don't ...

[Disclosure:  I have owned a few shares in Sainsbury over the past year or two.  And a fat lot of good it's done me.]
