There's some good news for supermarket shoppers in Peterborough because the frustration of being at a self-service checkout and hearing that dreaded phrase "unexpected items in the bagging area" is about to be a thing of the past.

Tesco is revamping all its machines and rolling out a new voice that's "friendlier, more helpful and less talkative."

It's now being trialled in Peterborough, but will be in all stores by the end of October.
