We're only speculating - I'm sure no supermarket chain would knowingly run an illegal checkout scam.


They?re already making huge profits from downsizing products and repackaging them in bigger containers, offering deceptive ?specials? or bogus discounts and many other sleights of hand ? why would they bother with fraud?


A rogue checkout programmer might chance it, though.

I must try that pea scam.


Is it not better to use something that comes in a brown cardboard box, though, so that the stuck-on bit is better camoflaged against the TV box?


No wonder you ended up in Wormwood scrubs.


And Tesco is the place you really have to check your receipt. Multibuy offers show up at the till about 50% of the time, they do really dodgy things like not having the item on the shelf match the price tag underneath and you think you are grabbing a bargain, but you have bought something impreceptibly different to but twice the price of what you wanted.

I got talking to a bloke while I was sitting on a seat on the Rye, he said he got arrested as he left ASDA for stealing. He asked the Security Guard what made him suspicious, he said the label was showing, but what really made him arrest him was he was wearing the white shirt over his Hooddie.

I told him of the person who was put in my room to share while I took that Holiday, as they were getting over booked.

He told me he was a Taxi Driver, who had been arrested for Antisocial Behaviour, I asked him if he minded if I used the lower bunk as I cant climb to the top bunk. He was quite agreeable, but I soon became very uncomfortable with his personal belongings that he insisted in storing under my bunk sticking through the thin mattress into my back, it was getting like a Fakir's bed of nails, I was not sorry when my Free Holiday came to an end.

Free coffee from pret last week, after buying a coffee there every day for a month.


Think they were allowed to make that judgement though :)

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
