    (I am a professional Morrisons shopper as part of my job is having to get the stock for the petrol station off the shelf. ;))

    You want to take them back for me? :rolleyes:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Just take a deep breath, go in, swap the tins, get out, then go to the pub for a swift one to recover. ;)

    Yeah, just pop in, queue up to get a refund, fight me way round the shop with every other eejit, get the other ones, queue up for another 20 minutes to pay, fight me way out of the car park with every other eejit...:mad:

    You've obviously not been anywhere near my local Morrisons on a Saturday. I'm looking at a minimum of an hour. :(

    Go pick up the tins you want, take them to customer services, slap them on the desk, say I want to swap these for these, get the excess money back, bobs yer uncle, done.

    And no I don't step foot in morrissons at all as they are pathetic and I prob wouldn't be allowed back in anyway :rotfl:
    I live in my own little world, but it's ok as everyone knows me here :)

    I got a little bit annoyed with their policy of not allowing you to buy non tobacco products at the cigerette kiosk. It was empty and I had one item, some baby wipes for an emergency in their restaurant.

    Basket checkouts had queues 10 peeps long, trolley checkouts were worse. I was stressed as it was, got to the kiosk and got told I couldn't pay for it there. I asked why and got told, because you can't.

    That annoyed me more as it wasn't a proper explanation. Baby wipes went flying across the counter and they got told to keep the things with a few expletives added.

    I was a bit stressed that day :o

    I use those cake tins for a basic victoria sponge - you will be fine.

    I love this thread - I cant wait to see what the cake looks like.

    They do look small.:D I hope they are deep enough.:rolleyes:

    You will have to make sure you grease and flour them well to get the cake out.

    Not that you will listen to me anymore.:o

    I prefere a loose bottom tin and a high sided one wouldn't matter.:p
