    LMAO
    For a money saving site you dont half get some odd folk on here.
    Did I say it wasn't a trivial problem? Please show me where I thought it were the end of the world....

    Failing that you could actually bother to read where I have stated several times that....

    I'm not that desperate for it Just slightly irritated to be given something that I can't use

    But dont let the facts get in the way of a good bit of trolling eh?
    ;)

    i can understand being a bit irritated, however driving about the country trying to find a co op store to accept a five pound voucher seems a bit.... strange. how much did you spend on petrol?

    then to come on a website with photo's of your vouchers and your local store seems a bit..... strange

    in your shoes i'm sure i would have chucked the voucher in the bin as it's a trivial problem and not worth the bother. but you, well you drive about the country looking for a co op store that will accept it, then you post on here, then you email the co op. not exactly the actions of someone that considers it trivial.....

    what next if the co op don't respond to your email? letter to the local paper?

    It might be better to phone them - the number is freephone and you can find it on the back of any co-op own brand product. I don't think it will matter that your voucher has expired, because you can explain that you tried to use it on whatever date (maybe you even have a receipt to prove that if you bought something else, although I doubt it will be necessary).

    No surely it needs a higher authority than that..........

    2 stores hardly equates to driving around the country, 2 stores within 2 miles of my home. But nowhere did I state how far I'd driven did I? Another assumption!!

    then to come on a website with photo's of your vouchers and your local store seems a bit..... strange

    Umm no, a photo to illustrate there were no T&C's on the voucher....thats not strange thats common sense. Illustrative proof maybe?
    The photo of the store was to again show that the storefront did not state whether the store was Midland or Northern, but reading the thread rather than trolling that would have told you that.

    Again, you need to actually read. Driving a 2 mile round trip is hardly driving around the country now is it? Whoopie for you chucking it in the bin, I'm so gald for you.

    No, I thought the CIA and MI5 may be interested

    its like you getting an unexpected £5 bonus in your wages and taking this to a shop and being told sorry you cant use that here.

    i would be a bit unhappy, but i wouldn't spend hours trying to remedy the situation.

    i suppose we are all different though - thank god - just imagine how rubbish the world would be if everyone got worked up about the smallest most trivial things!

    LOL! unless you value your leisure time at nothing i bet your quest for justice will have cost more than the voucher is worth.

    Let me know how you get on with CIA and MI5.

    Hours trying to remedy? LMAO Really? Dont judge my typing speed by yours. a 50 second email to customer services and a quick post here hardly equates to hours now does it? Unless you maths is as poor as your reading ability.

    ehhhmmm ok, i thought you said you had driven to a few local stores to try and redeem the vouchers...

    and that voucher didn't take a picture of itself you know...

    or how about the pic of your local store? did that stick itself onto this thread by itself?

    i suppose you must lead a blessed life if you get annoyed by such trivial things.
