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 :)

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
