Has anyone received their Felix Kitten pack? Thank you Princess Coupon Ive just received mine, will come in useful for my sister's cat.

Mad went down to T's last night just for a few supplies. As per normal I cased the joint before entering. I usually have three or four SA's I can go to. However, last night all the tills were being serviced by trouts:eek:
I therefore meandered between the aisles making a mental note of essentials for today and declined to purchase anything

Wasn't it worth trying the trouts? They sometimes surprise me.

Mad received his Tuesday. There is a moc on the letter (it's folded so you may have missed it) buy one get one free on your next purchase of a felix kitten pouch multipack. I will attach it to the collar of the cat that visits my garden.

They always surprise me :eek: Only had to get a few things and they weren't essential. So, rather than going thru all the rigmarole of entering into a conversation regarding me moc's, decided to save them for today when I know they will be accepted:T:T

I rather like the idea of releasing MOCs into the wild like that.

Several of my favourite checkout operators at Ts have the audacity to be on holiday at the moment, thus I was forced to queue at the till of a grumpy-looking old trout yesterday - but actually she turned out to be very sweet and helpful. It's always such a pleasant surprise when that happens! Made my day.

Hiya PC,
As most of us know, any PDF moc would look 'identical' to any other PDF moc - once you arrive at the moc page itself.

But the £1 Walls moc (which was OK) came from a site where the pages were all adverts and specific voucher offers which were expressly designed to be downloaded and printed in order to use the vouchers (albeit for students' use). That's all that page of the NUS site is about, AFAIK, just vouchers & offers, and the voucher links are set up with a printer icon.

IMHO the £5 Walls moc is different because it just happens to be on a resource booklet which in its paper form, was sent out to Scout Leaders. That resource booklet is only available in PDF form along with all the other Scout booklets, because someone helpful (and clearly not coupon-aware) at the SA has scanned them into the site.

The voucher is not the reason for the Scout website link, the resource booklet is, so printing the coupon from the booklet page is IMHO the same as printing the Glayva coupon from the Metro page a few months ago. It's a screenshot and no more - and worse than that, it's a screenshot of a moc only intended for the originals to be used by a registered charity.

I haven't contacted Walls - as I'm certain in my own mind that no screenshot moc is ever OK, I can't think of a precedent that was. But I would be interested to hear if any trusted regular here has contacted Walls (or the Scout Association) and got an answer. I'd be completely gobsmacked if they say 'yes, any Tom !!!!!! or Harry can print this and use it...'

I know a regular on PTS has said they have just emailed the Scout Association...no reply yet AFAIK.

Personally I hope Tesco wake up to this one quickly and block it - as I'm certain it will be well before the December expiry when the 'sausages hit the fan' re this moc. I shudder to think how many of these copied screenshot fivers are already being passed through the tills - and we all have to just hope they are not being used in our own locals.

But what a shame the effects of a block will be when Scout Leaders try to use their originals from their booklets, in good faith.

Good news the pdf has now been taken off the scouts website :T:T

They are also contacting ebay about the selling of it on there.
