whilst i realise that some of your post may well be tongue in cheek (or it may not be!) i seem to recall that you are by trade a plain clothes store detective.

Bearing that in mind you must realise that people are going to be followed, some may appear suspicious, some not. However people are watched and followed. How would you react if whilst watching someone they acted in the manner that you have described?

You recollection is correct, my full job title is Covert Loss Prevention Investigator.

They usually do act in that manner, that's where I got the idea from. I just find it funny. There's nothing in my job description to say that I can't drop me kecks on me day off though. Would be more than willing to attend an identity parade when I deny they were my buttocks!!

Thanks for your help.

Ironic that in this situation, every little, really does help.

Can someone please tell me the difference between the white and yellow SEL's?

Thanks.

Yellow sels are usually special offers ( with an expiry date)

The white ones are more permanent (although that can be a day with tesco)

The yellow ones date expires but the till updates to the new price so over charges you, isn't that nice

Seems like the white ones on the phones are where they haven't applied the 10% discount that is emblazoned all around the phones. There seem to be four phones where they have made this oversight and it appears to be national.

Motorola L6

Samsung E350N Pink

possibly Sony Ericsson 510i

possibly ericsson js2301

The 10% off PAYG could be this weeks XBOX 360s.

nice, know what to keep my eyes open for now!

I am in work on nights (boohoo) - I am tempted to drive down to check out the phone deals but they seem !!!! hot at my two local tesco's, I have tried on two occasions to get the xbox + game deal and the DS + game deal at both stores, and one had the sel's down, and the other had the offers patched up.. so it's kind of put me off unless I know I can get there quick...

.... ye ... one's white .... one's yellow :rotfl: :rotfl:

.... my understanding us .... white means 'usual' price and yellow means 'promo' .... but in the case of Tesco .... they might as well be pink & blue cos invariably they are wrong :rotfl:

Dont quite understand this - if the yellow sel has expired then surely one would expect to be charged at the pre-'yellow sel' price. So if the till updates how can it be classified as an 'overcharge.

Can someone clarify this

Yellow ticket says £1.99, till says £2.99, customer says overcharge, customer services says NOoooooooo!

Its that simple.
