    what can i do
    Nothing.
    You paid the price for a pint of milk.......i seriously doubt the shopkeeper got the money out of your purse himself.
    who do report them too..
    Anyone you like who will listen, but it won't make one iota of difference.

    You offered to pay that amount to him, not the other way around.

    Does this happen a lot then chris_in_the_house? What else have you been overcharged for? £10 for a bag of crisps? £50 for half dozen eggs? £672 for a newspaper?

    Report him to the mirror. Not the newspaper - the looking glass on your wall. Tell the muppet you see in front of you "think about what you are paying... and what you are posting on MSE..."

    Are you being serious? The shop keeper didn't force you to buy it did he!
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!
