If renting DOESN'T make you bitter, what really DOES hack you off?

What hacks me off is people saying "get XYZ from ...." when there are no such stores near me.

That more is spent per year, per person on criminals in our jails than on pensioners who have paid into the system all their lives and need care (in fact on many occasions they have to sell their homes to fund care) :mad:. It's criminal (no pun intended).

Couple of good half-pricers in Sainsburys which I've taken advantage of, both Save 50% was £4.50 now £2.25... They're both extra mature. :cool:

Shopping in Tescos. They change the f**king store around every 6 months I go. There as Sainsburys don't even if I don't shop at their store for a year.

Mate! If you think that's bad, you should visit M+S from time to time.

Now, you might think this flies in the face of my subtle suggestion of public uprising, but bear with me, since we're all middle class these days (I'm still working on my thesis on this idea; which will be the predecessor to my next work on why money is a vacuous abstract concept and why this epic debt is actually a lead-up to the next stage of humanity's evolution).

Ahem, I mean to say that M+S seems to change its store layout around every 6 weeks or so. It is maddening!

I have a theory that it is simply to maximise product surface area to customer looks, and that this in turn increases sales.

I have an additional theory that maybe this is also known to hack off consumers, but an annoyed customer is better than a placated one since they remember their annoyance, ending up talking about it to their friends and colleagues which is free word-of-mouth advertising.

And also that irate people have a greater propensity to buy stuff and keep sales up.

Pesky, pesky supermarkets... We are but insects to be manipulated and occasionally stamped on.

800g for 50p


MSE is not all about house prices & the economy you know.

Hi

tesco currently running two offers on cathedral city mature cheese. One is £3.99 bogof for 400g and the other is 2 blocks for £3.50 for smaller size.

Just purchased two blocks of the 400g today and got both discounts at the end of my till which meant that the two large blocks costs 50p!!!

Think it only works on the mature and not extra mature!

So far has worked in three stores today (stocking up for christmas!! (best before date jan 11)

Yes, but also The Elderly, in FRONT OF cars, shuffling across a busy gyratory system whilst the pedestrian crossing is anything but a green man.

Do you think with this vehicular activity they might be seeking the hurrify their departure from this mortal coil?

Perhaps we should do what Bill Hicks suggested, and put 'em in the movies!

I get annoyed every time I see watchdog.

I wish our government or trading standards would do something that would make it downright hell for people who make a living from ripping off the normal person.
From locksmiths who charge £300 to drill a hole in your door to electricians who are told at interviews to rip off customers as part of the job description.
This rant isn't limited to watch dog it also includes rip off Britain in general that seems to favour high mark-ups and restrictive practices.

This also includes the scum bags who allegedly work for the best interests of the people in this country , for example in the health service and then spend all their energies trying to cover up the mistakes and illegal practices of people paid for by us.

And finally I would like to see in my lifetime ... just one !!!!ing decent politician.

Dear Mr !!!!!!, please don't get me started on the elderly, i could mention how they cause traffic chaos on a weekday morning at 8am getting the latest rag from Sainsburies and picking up last minute shopping that they could clearly do doing the day whilst us grafters are working. However I won't mention anything like that at all.
