Does anyone know of discount for people who work for charities? I've never heard of any but you never know there might be a discount for us out there somewhere.

For those in thr Forces you get a 15% discount in any vauxhall main dealer when buying a new car.

Also if you use burger king on production of your ID card you recieve a discount of about 15%

Any moto service station and the burger king/coffee ritazza/shop all give discounts too. :rotfl:

This also applies to registered childminders.

As a customs officer the benefits of my job include being shouted at on a regular basis by travellers & putting up with as much hassle as your senior officer can dish out

Seriously though because I have a BAA pass, I get BOGOF on millies cookies along with cheap drinks, I get too shop tax free because I work airside and a discount facility I happened upon at the weekend the vast majority of shops at Freeport Braintree (designer outlet type place) offer 10% off of anything on production of a BAA pass.

All the Best

West Mids Police get free drinks in McDonalds when in uniform.

Some staff in Hilton and Holiday Inn also give free drinks to officers in uniform.

Can use Tesco staff restaurants, v.cheap meals. My BF often goes in for a full english breakfast for about 70p when he's on nights.

I work within the NHS and managed to get Microsoft office professional version under the Home Users Program for less than £18 including P&P. Speak to your IT Dept see if you are eligible.

Thought they may have been something for people who work for charities

I'm a policeman in Lincolnshire and our local Fed.office gave us a Mcdonalds card that entitled you to buy a medium sized meal for £1.99.
Additionally, in relation to free travel, I showed my warrant card when in London and was told only MetPol get free travel.
