Bought 2 Magners 1 litre cider bottles ?3-75 each or 2 for a fiver as I approached the till I knew I was going to get ripped off and was watching the till like a hawk. Sure as anything they didn't register the discount armed with info from this board I asked to see the manager. I told him a lot of people are commenting on this and he said he wished they would approach him directly. He was very apologetic and immediately got the cashier to correct this - I asked the cashier if this happened a lot and she said it did. Starting to think that this is more than incompetence.

I gave up on the incompetence theory some time ago.


Edited to add: But it's not just Somerfield.


I bought three bottles of wine for a tenner in Iceland recently and got charged for four.


The cashier expressed no surprise when I pointed this out (I've now started checking all my receipts in supermarkets, sad though it may be).


Nor did the person in charge seem surprised when they refunded me my money.


Another customer said "Good thing you checked your bill." Yeh.

It's happened to me on more than one beer promotion and has been corrected by the long-suffering till jockey.

I've been advised by the staff member on more than one occasion to complain to the manager.

But I never have.

I reckon beer's making me apathetic when at source and all full of feist-ivity when at keyboard.

I tend to type a good fight.

Whooooa big cold bottles of cold Peroni.

I've a bladder full of urine and the desire to commit a minor act of liquid-based criminal damage to the lower left hand corner of their shutters tonight.

Who's with me?

Depending on who's on Question Time of course. And I've still got the extras to watch on series two of Saxondale.

Twelveish perhaps?

Wingdings DD, great idea.

Interesting you used the word 'quail' in your post, it's a little known fact that Roger Daltrey's trout farm was a haven for quail. How many times did he put a loaded shotgun in my hand and tell me to "take lunch from the sky"?

Oh, Christ.

He looked from the Peroni to the Saxondale series 2 cover and back again and saw he had become one and the same.

Glad you're with me Snorky, though of course it won't be so much smashing as potentially introducing rust into their shutters.

Unless of course they're galvanised, probably by a half-starved minimum-wage 'earning' immigrant capitalist plaything whose lungs will end up looking like lace curtains because of the galvanisation process he's been forced to endure.

Mind if he's been working for the likes of capitalist oppressors like Somerfield, maybe he deserves all he gets.

Sell out.


I'll let you know about the Saxondale extras. Cheers.

I do. It came from them changing over the '0' and the '8'. It's called something. Juxtaposition?

No it's not that, but a bit like it and the word doesn't have an 'x' in it.

For some reason transvetite is giggling around my mind.

Did Eddie Izzard ever play a skit around mayonnaise?


?2.08 you say? For Hellmans? Not bad.

Just went to the check out with 2 bottles of softner advertised on the shelf 2 for ?2.

Thanks to this thread I was very suspicious of what I would be charged.....

?2.89.

I was almost pleased.

I told the cashier, who then went off to check the shelf and see if I was telling the truth and I waited (a little bit excited at this point) for her to come back.

She came back with the sign saying it was out of date, but there was no fuss in giving me the offer.

Me: This happens a lot in here doesn't it? (with smug look on my face)

cashier lady: yes - the manager can't do his job properly. sorry about that.

I'm confused now Sonners, what's Irvine Welsh got to do with it?

I went shopping today and bought crisps and dips both of which had offers on them. When i went to check out I remembered this thread so asked whether they had put through the offers. The assistant asked what they were and I told him the two items and guestimated the amounts and instead of checking these costs he went straight into the till and gave me change to the amounts that I told him, didn't even check that I was correct or anything and didn't give me a new receipt. Couldn't quite believe it. No surprise and no apology.

Apology for what? He took your word those goods were on special offer.

You could have been tucking him up like a kipper.

Mmm, kippers, are they on offer?

      How do dispose of sharps bins

      By elloriac · Posted

      You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed.  They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can.

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By Rockets · Posted

      Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.

      ULEZ expansion ruled lawful by High Court

      By Rockets · Posted

      But Spartacus didn't mention the significant amounts of land being used for car storage - that was most definitely you.   And I am afraid when you apply your same measure to other transport uses (like cycleways and cycle lanes - Malumbu is your stat on the 360 kms of cycle network cycleways or cycle lanes?) then it most definitely is relevant for the debate.   Should we assume then that if all this ULEZ money and government bailout money is being poured into TFL then the system is, financially at least, broken or is it a case that the money is being mis-spent (like the DV junction project)?
