hiya, im from cornwall :j

there are scanners in tesco extra in pool and yes you're right they dont work :mad:

there is one in redruth tesco in the canned food aisle, as well as some in truro tesco, but not sure of where they are in the store.

hth

p.s u had many R&Rs? I dont seem to be able to find many, been to most tescos in cornwall and have only had one in tesco extra pool

Hi ICQ,maybe I'll have a look in Redruth & Truro then,don't know why they don't work, do you know if they ever did?

If you look at my last few posts you'll see I'm new to this & never managed an R&R (not for lack of trying though), maybe our stores are too much on the ball if you're struggling to get any as well?

I know that there's someone who posts on here from our area who gets lots of them though, so don't know what they're doing different?

If I do get anything I'll let you know:D

Whats the 20 minute rule, does that mean you mustn't have the goods in your possession for 20 mins before return?

Also, any MSE'rs in Cornwall, are there any self scanners in the county? I only know of 2 in the tesco extra at Pool, Redruth and they never work.

Helston has a scanner in the middle of the aisle next to the tomato ketchup. (I've just come back from my hols.)

But just to let you know, I tried 4 stores when on holiday and did not find a single misprice, even though I have been doing R&R for ages and usually get at leat £100 per week elsewhere.

The main problem in Cornwall is that the stores are too small so there is less for the staff to check. The big extra stores are far better. Is Pool an extra? If so, keep a check on the misprice thread for games and books because you can nearly always find something in these sections.

I know for 10! you'd think the tightwads would have stretched to goose or maybe even venison at least turkey for gods sake.

Ok, I understand that, remain civil, on-topic and polite.

It would be a shame to lose a very useful thread due to the actions of a few but I'm afraid that is what will happen if it doesn't remain on topic, with people being polite and civil to each other.

Thanks

Yep, I understand that one as well, polite and civil. Easy enough for me to understand.

i'll promise to be nice to Mcgonad too :-)

Oh, he understands too!! Apart from that he is still being derogatory by calling me Mcgonad. I'll let him have that as he puts a smiley at the end.

Oh no, he going off on one again!!!

Originally posted by bleugh.Yesterday, 6:08 PM. heh, McDonald can't take a joke ;-)

Can't believe that he is still trying it on, calling me McDonald now!!! One more straw on the camel's back. Does this guy not understand English. He is supposed to be being nice!!?

ben500, are you a tesco employee?, i know you're a welshie and have a strange aversion to western avenue store, but, are you tescos or not, i'm not quite certain?, either way, a pat on the back is deserved for being a jolly god chap, unlike that unpleasant Mc donnelDouglas enTITy

Right that's it!!!

After persistant warnings from the MSE Forum Team Leader and Redfox and a post by yourself stating that you are going to nice to me, you continue to remain unpleasant, uncivil and unpolite. Exactly what is your problem?

I am going to have to report you for persistant goading and winding people up. With a bit of luck you will be banned from this site never mind just this thread as you do it on other threads to other people too.

Some people never learn.

It's a mystery to me why he wasn't banned a long time ago. He's nothing but trouble on this forum.

McDonag and Bleugh - couldn't you guys just meet up somewhere, get out your R&Rs and invent a game like Yu-Gi-Oh where you compete to see who has the best cards (or money backs in this case)?
That's what my children would do - it's more civilised and at about the right level.

That is garbage.

Bleugh has been posting on this forum for a long time - before you (and me) even joined MSE - and has posted MANY very useful tips / misprices.

If there are to be bans then surely it should be anyone who has joined a rival group such as the one run by Mcdonag.

I believe you are a member of this group!

Get your facts right pal. It is not a rival group and taxiphil is not a member. The group I run is not affiliated in any way to MSE. It is a chat site, pure and simple.

Even it were and he was, it is not a valid reason for getting banned from this forum.

I have been a member of this forum for many years before you and bleugh and am one of the original R&Rers, I used a different name to the one I had then as I have had to, many times before, purely because of jealousy from posters like yourself and bleugh. I post to help people to get R&R's from Tesco, not to get abused all the time from people who have a problem with my successes.

Next time I would prefer it if you would keep your nose out of my business and get your assumptions right before you embarrass yourself anymore.

Cant see this thread surviving, unfortunatly, so I'll say good night now before it is permanently locked.

Its been a pleasure talking with most of you.

If the thread is history by morning and I can help in any way, feel free to PM. I'll still be around.

My point exactly. Thanks for agreeing.

Exactly what is your point?
