Excuse me, it doesn't say anything about having to purchase 50, it says free example. And don't call me a dumb Brit, I was just posting a freebie for the masses. What kind of company sends you one free example as an incentive to make you buy thier stuff AFTER you have ordered 50+, yeah a real bonus aint it?
Maybe I was being polite, maybe I should have added: Just another dumb know it all MSE poster who doesn't understand FREE

Well when I looked it didn't make it clear that you could just ask for 1 sample. Maybe I am being a bit dumb but when I clicked on quantity the minimum was 50 for the USB pen drives and the free sample was of the design which I pointed out - not to be rude just to make any other posters aware before thinking they had a link to a free USB pen.

Desperate Mum- i dont think any of the above messages were aimed at you, it was chuckles1066's messages that people were reacting to .
i think it was good of you to let people know that it appeared to you that you had to order 50 and you did so in such a polite manner. so don't worry i dont think anyone here thinks you were being rude in the slightest-just merely stating your observations.

Whether the OP was mistaken or not, chuckles, your comment is unnecessary and offensive to him/her. Choose your words more carefully next time and be polite to ALL MSEers.

Furthermore, I think you should apologise the the OP.

It is your kind of reaction that puts the more timid MSEers off posting ... then we all lose out on freebies.

Whilst I disagree that what I said was "unnecessary" (today's namby-pamby society unfortunately has a lot less moral backbone than mine), I'll withdraw my comments and offer my apologies to the OP.

In my defence (and this is something all MSEers should be aware of before posting "bargains"), posts to this site get propogated onto other sites (http://www.bargainspy.co.uk being one of many examples).

It damages the reputation of this website if someone on an external website links to a "bargain" posted here only to find it's actually quite the opposite.

Just my 2 euros worth.

Well I maintain that, generally speaking, Brits are dumb, you maintain that they arent; shall we agree to disagree and draw this thread to a nice, peaceful end?

[QUOTE=DesperateMum
The OP originally stated it was a free USB pen not 'probably'.[/QUOTE]

Title of the post was

Free sample USB pen drive (Probably)

Enough said surely?

Surely you mean "aren't" or "are not" !!

Please keep the bad attitude, rudeness and failure to appreciate others for the CSA's at Tescos, which they seem to prefer as their standard method of attack to RnR. (That is, some of them).

Don't take it out on each other. Respect is what I offer everybody and appreciate in return.

The vast majority of us "dumb Brits" can at least reassure ourselves that we have a higher IQ than the usa president!
