Got some today, thanks to the OP.

To people who struggle with moose like SA's, try my trick. Smile and say WOW YOUR HAIR LOOKS REALLY NICE. HAVE YOU HAD IT DONE RECENTLY? SA thinks she looks like a movie star or something and gives you the whole low down by which time she has scanned everything and hasn't noticed the glitch. Works a treat for me, all the time. Woohoo.

blokes are always on our checkouts...........:rotfl:

when i went to may local store during the weekend the SA was hesitant to out it through for me but i told her 'its the same with the other store as well thats why im here. my friend told me about it'

Am I missing something here? Please enlighten me as why one needs three pairs of flight socks when you can get them for free on long haul flights?

Are these special ones to prevent DVT or something?

Thanks in advance!

Men can have nice hair too you know, or nice glasses, or skin. And don't forget to smile.

They are anti DVT socks, normally £12.99 a pair. Knee high, nothing like the free socks.

3 of us going transatlantic = 6 pairs, one pair each way

It still works!!

Tried at lunchtime today in Burnley Boots - three packs for £2.01 - assistant in Boots too busy talking with another assistant to notice - forgot to use by Boots card though - but really pleased. I'm getting to that age when my feet swell up (only when I get home though) so will give them a go.

Has anyone used them & do they work?

Thanks very much for info on this glitch, had to stand my ground in Barrow-in-Furness Boots but Manager finally agreed, then the shop assistant and the manager said they were both going to get some! Also worked in a smaller branch in Barrow! Excellent glitch!

In case anyone has tried the condom offer as well................. well dont! It doesnt work on both the 2 for 10 and the 3 for £15. Had a rather embarassing experience today, didnt realise in the queue was my elder brother nor the old lady from our road - and in hand was 3 selection boxes of condoms. And my daughter had a huge smile on her face when she realised before me... shes 19 by the way.

Got the flight socks the other day so not all was lost.
