    If thet were found to abuse this though, could be a disciplinary?

    Depends. Given the way the general public are hammering this, unless staff were really going to town they'd risk getting hit for discrimination if Tesco treated them differently. Lets face it, all the info they need to win their case is all here in black and white.

    Tesco are just miffed big time at Asda and as I understand it from what I was told today, its actually got personal between a few of the company bigwigs and has become something of a matter of egos getting in the way of common sense.

    Long may the egos continue at loggerheads is my opinion! :D

    Hello - just got pointed to this thread by a kind soul BUT - how on earth can one keep up here? Nearly 150 pages in few days?

    You don't: you pick a random post number, read that, and hope it was representative.

    ARM AND HAMMER WHITENING COMMING BACK AS N/F
    For me today!!!

    Gutted, I brought 2 of these this evening, and to make it worse - I was only supposed to buy one :( I'll be sticking to aquafresh in future!


    I think I am actually addicted to DTDing and I'm not even joking! Rushed out at about 9.30 for my 3rd DTD shop today (only ever done 2 a day before) and actually had quite a buzz leaving the shop - I imagine it was the same sort of feeling that kleptomaniacs get when they steal :/

    I'll be having a break from my local tescos for the next 3 days - I have to travel for work so will stop at 3 other tescos along the way, each day! Feeling quite self conscious going in there everyday, so hopefully they will forget about me over the next few days and re-stock the thorntons eggs and dove body washes ready for when I go in on sunday!

    That would be awesome!!! :eek:
    Although I don't know that they'd be accepted - not sure at what point it stops counting as groceries? Definitely worth a try though - anyone up for it? Edit: certainly looks like they would doesn't it, I mean they come up in the groceries section of both sites and other toothbrushes have worked iirc

    Also, corrected link to asda one as yours didn't work for me: http://groceries.asda.com/asda-estore/catalog/sectionpagecontainer.jsp?skuId=9791416&departmentid=1214921923791&aisleid=1214921924334&startValue=

    Toothpaste was on the DTD and these are on the normal aisles.
    I wont be going tomorrow, but next time I am in a big shop, I may buy one with cash on its own receipt. If it dosnt work it wont break and terms to return the item.

    ;)I thought it was just the taste, so looked it up :rotfl:

    http://www.ehow.com/facts_5541317_red-salmon-vs-pink-salmon.html

    If you want to be mega geeky, google astaxanthin.

    The reason behind pink organisms that feed of micro algae containing said substance.

    Some evidence of free radical properties and, as such, is now being marketed as a health supplement.

    It can be artificially produced, and is one of the more expensive components of farmed salmon production.

    Anybody (still awake, that is) wants to know more - I can email you a paper I had to research and review on it last year. :rotfl:

    If nothing else, it eases you into sleep very effectively!:o

    As interesting as your paper may be (and actually I expect it really would be) the thought of getting paid £6 to buy a toothbrush is too much excitement for me already!
