    Am I the only one who has no idea what these look like.. Are they these ones? http://www.thegreatbritishdiet.co.uk/Images/Kellogg%27sCeramicBowls_CornFlakes&CrunchyNut%20%282%29.jpg

    If so, then they aren't that bad, I certainly wouldn't be complaining for 1p. :D If only we had a Morrisons store nearby.. :(

    you literally go up to it, press start on the screen and start scanning the bar codes, make sure you put esach item in the bagging area before trying to scan the next item!! good luck!!

    Got brave and took 4 bowls together with just a newspaper through normal check out without any hassle. Mind you, I sussed the SAs out first! They went through ok - with his comment that "these really are a bargain". As it was so easy, I went back for 4 more and went back to him and just handed over 4p! :)

    I bought the last six today of the cockerel ones. Loads of the yellow striped ones. Felt so nervous going through self serve checkout....hehe
    I hate twitches, but I LOVE glitches!!!

    You should have no problem going through a checkout with these - Nobody will be 'alerted' if you go through a self scan till either.

    I had a manager called who looked very flustered and very angrily removed them from my bag at SS TWICE!!!
    Seems to be variable on how they lenient they are!

    I'm suprised by that - There has certainly been no communication from Head Office not to allow the sale of these on their own, Also Morrison's are not losing anything - Kellogs provide the bowls in exchange for retailers running the cereal promotion.

    Not much of a bargain really

    It's a bargain, pure and simple. If you don't like it, that's fair enough but you can't say that a bowl for 1p isn't a bargain! If it was unusable or very fragile perhaps but not because you think it's ugly
