I think I will be requesting a data search after the meeting, just to see exactly what they have on me, have you done this then?

If so, what did you get back? PM me if you prefer!

I made a DPA request with a view to seeking damages for defamation of character and still haven't heard anything - next week the 40 days are up and I'll have to file a complaint with the Information Commissioner as they'll be in breach of the law.

(Big thanks to ampersand, by the way, for the info you sent me about the DPA in a PM a while ago... I forgot to thank you at the time)

ampersand

in America, out there if you get caught overpricing you get charged $100 per item by weights and measures, if you have the equivalent 'if things don't add up policy' they halve that fine to $50.

[QUOTE=Bookworm63
I understand from previous posts on this forum that UK fines on overpricing are substantially higher than in the US (£1K+) but not sure if it is reduced by offering this Price Promice:[/QUOTE]

My highlighting - definitely A Stateside BOGOF.
To be taken up by solicitor and dentists near you, any millenium now.

Managed to get my first X-Box game yesterday, Splinter Cell, so thanks to the OP.

For anyone who is wanting console games for Christmas and hasn't had any luck with R&Rs, Gamestation are doing a BOGOF offer at the moment which might be of interest:

Well done Chris!!

"trays of steak" indeed, as if quantity matters! QUOTE]

Sir Terry doesn't know he sells these. He'll put a stop to it at once.
Then, 'restricted to 6 food items' will be Cutting Edge policy.

Well I dont know that for sure do I?

Anyway, regardless of the facial recognition, tying up the clubcard to the security system in that way ISNT what the clubcard is there for is it?

I'm sure most people signing up for clubcard are not aware that it can be used to alert security guards at other stores as to if you have had a refund in another store!

And for that matter, why are security guards allowed to review what I've bought on my clubcard??[/QUOTE]

This is particularly alarming and cannot be right. No input from constantine and spa2k is on ouzo break.
Could either of you comment please?

nope no uniform cos i used my privilege card on the purchase so got it for £251 but am told by my boss that "that 10% discount is our privilege for working for them and doesnt count towards the price promise and that they definetly owe me a refund just like any normal paying customer" they also tried saying that cos i work for them that i had inside information i told them "no i am a member of a consumer website and had been told through there" i had purchased the xbox on 3rd and had no idea about the wrong price at the time[/QUOTE

its probably already been said as I have two pages to read yet... so someone just nudge me and raise your eyebrows... but why on earth would someone who knew it was a given that it would be a R & R use a staff discount card anyway?

honestly had no clue about the r&r when i bought it i was actually looking to buy 1 and thought that the pro evo deal for £251 then sell pro evo on ebay for £30 making it £221 was the best i'd seen so snapped it up twas only when i heard about pro evo 6 being a EPW that my light bulb clicked and i found you guys:beer:

thelurch

EPW??? whats that mean?

sponger2

Emergency Product Withdrawl . oh and by the way wasnt till monday 5th late evening that this was sent to all tesco's demanding them to take all the pro evo games and consoles off the shelves so me buying my console on the 3rd with no clue definetly made me ask the question why? i thought i had a faulty game/console

It was always a bit tenous it staying on Grabit. My guess is some Mod got itchy fingers and used us to practise their thread moving skills

I think the mods had been discussing this for a while, and were sick of the off topic discussions, and the word was that they decided as soon as Constantine posted that "he had Pm'ed someone", they would move it.............big lol
