It's not as if at least one of these, shall we say, 'detractors' hasn't got 'previous' with regard to deliberately seeking to provoke a response. Aaahh, the joys of being able to check out a person's posting history on here. Like I have intimated before, responding to them only seeks to increase their already over-estimated self-importance. Let 'em talk to themselves, you know it makes sense, people.

that is no way in which to post about leadhead:p

If you check back you will see that I have never alleged any form of theft and have openly stated that the Criminal Law would be an unlikely avenue of resort.

I picked up an open assertion by redfox that this was not a forum for discussion of ethics and so I desisted.

I returned today to see that nothing had changed and the same old arguments were being churned out from, what could be called, both sides. I reposted a quote from redfox and then get told I am constantly goading and baiting!

It is difficult to provide further discussion without it being alleged that I am being deliberately provocative. I would, however, warn all board users, whatever their stance, to be extremely careful of the language they use and of the allegations they make.

Go for it merlin

This appalling w*kfest of self-congratulation needs to be closed.

MSE is a fantastic forum whose whole moral stance is being undermined by these people.

Good to see Martin on TV attacking banks' commercial policies. He'd be ripped to shreds trying to defend the R&R !!!!!!:p

Sorry, but if you read the telegraph article Martin does state that if Tesco had no misprices R&R would be neither here nor there.

I'll quote and provide the link ...

"Until the policy changes, lists of wrongly priced goods will continue to appear on moneysavingexpert.com — a website set up by the money adviser Martin Lewis.

"R&Ring is taking advantage of a Tesco policy and not a loophole in the law," he said. "Tesco is not forced to have that policy — it does this as a way to promote itself.

"If people are doing absolutely nothing illegal but doing a little research to take advantage of the policy then I haven't got a problem with it.

"If thousands of pounds worth of Xboxes walked out the door then it should teach Tesco to be a bit more careful about prices so that customers are not misled."
"

Also, all you TESCO EMPLOYEE types (bluey, cheapy, chicky, TE1, TE2 ... etc) please remember that MARTIN states that R&Ring is NOT ILLEGAL, so please refrain from mentioning the activity as such.

It would appear someone has just got an R&R on a £3800 Sony TV tonight (see the misprice thread!). Surely a record for a single transaction?

above post is regarding this:
Sony 46" KDL46X2000U HD LCD TV
white sel £3,699.97
scans at £3,799.97

bit of a argument but gave in when I pulled out my dictaphone and fake media pass and asked if they wanted to give a statement to the Sun!!

OP -postielatic.

They say Tesco gave in ? to what though R&R, DTD.
If it was an R&R - then WOW, think this could a record

I wonder whatever happened to her? Perhaps she now runs a caravan park somewhere :rotfl:

Wasn't she headhunted by that new Customer Services thing-y started by Mr T a few years back?
Been heading their training programme ever since, from what I hear.
I gather Barclays are after her to handle their Profit Press Releases.

Got a sneaky feeling they will sort this one out sharpish.
