Unfortunately not a police officer, but do work for them so don't get discounts at Pizza Hut. Not sure if they still do it but used to get discount at Nandos if member of emergency services, including police officers.

It is Dominoes Pizza I think not Pizza hut

Hi Jassi_9, has your mum and dad put in for Working Tax Credits ? If your mum is working 30 hrs per week or more they would be eligible. also if they are responsible for any children aged 16 and under your mum would only have to be working 16 hrs or more. They would be eligible for Child Tax Credit as well if there's any children involved.:)

If you work for an Local Authority (LEA) in any capacity you can register here to get discounts. I think they're the same discounts as the NHS site and Teachers discounts, but they seem to have expanded their offers (ie: 7% off at the entertainer etc):D

My son works p/time in somerfields and his a student do you just show your 10% card at peacocks or what do you do

What discounts can my son get as his a student at the moment he doesnt get any

NHS staff get really good discounts at most Leeds City Centre gyms, even better if you are joining as a 'couple'. Just ask when you enrol, it pays to have a bit of cheek.
