    No, I agree totally with Katie about swappers. In fact it was my mother who brought up the subject t'other night. I think there'd been a news article about it. She's 80 and says she'd rather live next door to a gang of drug dealers or a serial killer than have to put up with time stampers. She sees it as one of the biggest threats facing society today.

    Apparently she was round the local shops on Tuesday and a gang of codies, balaclavas, scissors and tupperware boxes, were accosting OAPs and emptying their Hobnobs. A rival gang operating nearby were supposedly heard shouting 'Come on, Yer Chocolate Caramels or your life'.

    Decent folk can't walk the streets after dark. Muggers and car theives have had to move into safer neighbourhoods. Seriously, if Gordon Brown doesn't get a handle on swapping ASAP I can see the country descending into anarchy.

    So yes, we're right to take it seriously on this board. I think there should be a minimum sentence of seven years incarceration for anyone caught buying a packet of biscuits and sharing the info' with mates. It's undermining everything that this made this country great, slavery, invasion of other countries, children up chimneys ........... we need to get back to those values and stop trying to help each other.

    Well said Katie, I feel infested with cheats. Now where did I leave those 35 packets of Rich Tea.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


    You've given me an idea actually, my old gran lives in a home, think i'll go visit her and see what biccies the staff are serving. I bet they go through a few packs a day :o

    Does anyone want to try my codes? If you do let me know if you'd like about 8 or 16 or however many.


    And for all the time i've spent in here you'd have thought i'd have pocketed a fair bit by now, well, I've still to win a biggy so if anyone would like to send me some...


    No more codes for me for now please. Thank you very much :D
  • Oh and btw, when I was in tesco, a lot of the penguin packets had no time code on them, I ended up rooting through a load and found 3 packs with different times on, but just make sure you check before you buy! x


    I got 2 for £2 at somerfield but didnt realise they had the same code and time code until i got home :(!!!!

    Hi I am sure you have had to explain this all again and again but there are more that 200 pages to read to find the info. I have my first packet of biscuits sat waiting patiently downstairs, what do I do with them now??? Thanks
