Debbie Franklin, 36, from Darlington, spoke about this pivotal moment in her family’s history. “We had a family discussion, over dinner, and we’re all in agreement (apart from Nan, who’d still be keeping coal in the bath if we let her) that the Franklin family is ready to move up to Tesco’s ‘Finest’ range of foodstuffs.
