    Went to the tesco cafe for breakfast and when I was leaving around 10 people walked through the main door and the alarm went off, about 10 seconds later I walked though and the security guard swore blind that it was me and me alone that had set it off and called the police.

    I was arrested and shoved in the back of the police car while they searched the car and my backpack and did a check to see if my phone was stolen :eek: after they found nothing it was a body search in the car park in front of everyone! still nothing found (I hadn't even been in the bloody store in the first place) so instead of apologising like any sane person, they banned me from the store for wasting time :eek:

    Almost lost my job too cause it made me 2 hours late for work.

    RazWaz - I hope you put an official complaint in for false arrest both by the store and the police especially as you hadn't been in the store.

    What did they claim you had stolen? A sausage or a piece of bacon?
    If you find you are drinking too much give this number a call. 0845 769 7555

    Complained to the police - got an apology. Complained to tesco, well they are ignoring my letters, don't really know what else to do.

    Switched to Sainsbury's and I couldn't be happier, bills didn't go up by much but the quality of the food sure as hell did.

    I have to say I only drink diet drinks especially coke and pepsi (pepsi max) and I can not stand the taste of non diet fizzy drinks.
  • Finally some like minded folks!
    (My sister thinks my Aspartame ban for my kids is cruel - I do not allow robinsons cordial or Fruit shoots. Evil mother that I am! :p I even had to tick on the latest party invite No thank you for Robinsons juice. )

    Just to let you know most of Aldi's non - diet fizzy pop range contain Aspartame. I was very dissappointed to find that out.

    I wish gum manufacturers would take this stance so I can find a reasonable chewing gum that doesnt leave me rolling round in agonising stomach cramps half an hour after eating.

    Also, I miss Tango. :(

    Full sugar fruit shoots don't have Aspartame...but they still don't get space in my trolley. Its a diluted, expensive bottle of squash...

    Do you mean the My5 range (juice and water mix) ?
    as the original Fruit shoots are all sugar free / low sugar.
