ATM mini slips!!!!!!


I don't mind the slips themselves it's the way people have to actually choose between:


Cash only

Cash with receipt


They choose WITH receipt and then just leave it without looking - I'll deal with that after you pal shall I??


And then people wonder why the state becomes more nannyish... freedom means responsibility for your actions people!


Phew - glad I got that off my chest

Gum bugs me. It is one of my grumpy old man complaints. It fouls up the pavements all over this city. At least fag butts can be swept away.


Oh and all the Irish people I know aren't actually green. Despite what it says on wikipedia and in the high school text books. They are a kind of pinky colour and change to letterbox red when they go on holiday in Africa.

This.


This is what I think everytime some some nay-sayer is interviewed on TV about Olympics, Smoking Bans, Plastic Bag taxes or in fact ANYTHINGTHATMIGHTMAKETHEWORLDABETTERPLACE...


You would think from the portrait of impending aramageddon some people are so quick to paint that these things had never been done anywhere in the world and that Britain was ONCE AGAIN the whipping boy for the rest of Europe..

Where does the money go? Is it used for the environment. The answer to all our problems is not taxing it.


Not that I have an answer. Perhaps, they should continue to make the bags thinner and thinner, until we get to a point that they will carry nothing. Then perhaps we'll come up with some other solution.


As somebody who always walks to the supermarket, surely it is the car drivers whose shopping habits cause much more damage to our eco system.

if people still did their shopping on the high street, there would be no need to drive to out of town supermarkets. and possibly more food would be local, though that's not guaranteed, but probably not flown in from Kenya or Peru.


surely it's not very hard to walk to the supermarket AND take your own bag? that's what I do on the occasions the fabulous retailers of ED are unable to furnish me with my comestibles. and the cupboard under my sink no longer spews forth screwed up carrier bags when I'm looking for the brasso

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
