I know, and it's quite right that they do that.


I bought my last printer there.


But they don't wait till you've got outside and then accost you in a street crowded with Christmas shoppers, and continue even after being shown the receipt.


It really shakes you up in any case being accused of something you haven't done, let alone in a place where some of the passers by are likely to know you.


I made the point to M&S that it was quite likely that people we didn't know would know who we were, because of our involvement in local music and community events.

I went in B and M on old kent road a couple of years sago

bought some coffee on offer and a bag of sugar,

didnt want to pay for bag, so held goods in my hands.

Decided to look in PC world Currys at their ovens

had a good look round, left store to be chased out accusing me for nicking coffee

they sent a poor junior, probably because i looked /Fearsome

I said to them but you dont sell coffee,

they told me they do, they sell pods not jars

lucky had receipt in pocket for B&M s

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
