    thought it was you that did the licking, I asked Ruthha and she told me so ;)

    You're obviously right then, especially if ruthha told you.
    Pass on my regards to ruttha and when she takes Rover for a walk, tell her to "Watch Dog". Hate to see Rover get lost. ;)

    If the OP genuinely believes the staff have been instructed to sell to fat customers, it makes you picture the signs they must have up in their staffrooms. Would it be something like this ?

    Chocolate Bars: Always offer it to the really fat gits who look like they stuff their faces every night while watching Eastenders

    Chocolate Oranges: Offer this to the most obese ones in the afternoons, as they will probably be late shopping as they they spend all morning watching Jeremy Kyle.

    Werthers: Offer these to the doddery old sods to remind them about the tv adverts about the good old days.

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    I think not.

    I was in Gosforth branch with my mate on Tuesday - we're both *cough* larger ladies and neither of us was offered chocolate when we purchased our respective newspapers.
    Neither was I offered it on Wednesday when I bought my papers and magazine in the Central Station branch. Maybe Im just not fat enough then - dam :rotfl:

    I bought a copy of Health and Fitness magazine from W H Smiths, and waited for them to ask if I wanted chocolate. I had my scathing reply ready.

    The person before me was asked. The person after me was asked. But they didn't ask me!

    Anyone else think WH Smith has lost the plot though?
    Instead of trying to flog their manky half price nearly out of date choccies,their staff could be using their sales skills to sell something that might make them a decent profit.

    Anyway,why do they have all this out of date chocolate,is there an eu chocolate orange mountain at head office warehouse.

    I was in one of their shops a few weeks ago,and there was a demonstrator near the door trying to sell me mineral makeup.Make your mind up smiths,are you a stationers,or a cosmetics shop ,er..are you saying I am fat and spotty,how very dare you..
