So I've done 3 expresses and found 100's of Lindt eggs, strips of 'em:T:T:T:T:TAll with flipping stickers over the B/C:mad::mad::mad: On a mission now tonight, I will not be defeated;)

Did you check the number though, as I found some with a barcode sticker on, and they still went through at 1p. the sticker bar code ends 7534. The bar code underneath ends 2408 which is what was scanning at a higher price when I was at another express last night.

In one tescos they had even mixed up the balls with the eggs, as the packaging is the same, just different bar code and slightly different shape chocolate!

Hi again all,

Finished work early so's I could pop to Mr T's.

Just to remind all, C*ln£y H*th off the North Cicular in N10.

Seasonal aisle has loads of Mary Berry Xmas cake still left at £1 each; still lots of beer/spirit gift sets (including Guinness with cuff links, yeah :j). Also still loads of wrappings, xmas cards, etc. HTH

Attempted post sale trouting to report, though.

Empty shelf in seasonal aisle had box with clipstrips of mini-eggs sticking out. I grabs 4 (not a big choccy eater). Goes to SS till, puts through some chicken, the Guinness and the mini-eggs, in no particular order, pays (with debit card) and goes to leave...

...then fun starts.

Incidentally, not sure if others are seeing this but SA on SS tills was watching every single move people were making; marching up and down like a sergeant major, she was. Just wondering if it might be because of the high profile SS tills would have got from the AWT story.

Anyhoo, she couldn't get to me in time to stop me paying, as she was helping an old man weigh his bananas (ooo err missus! ), but she stopped me as I was leaving the SS area.

Conversation roughly as follows (sorry, it's a bit long):
Trout: Can I see your receipt, sir?
Me: Sure!
Trout: Didn't you notice the mini-eggs going through at 1p? Didn't you think your shopping total was a bit cheap?
Me: No, I knew some stuff was from the cheap seasonal stuff, but I haven't checked the receipt yet, as you have it.
Trout: I can't let you have the eggs for 1p, they should be much dearer.
Me: Yes you can, I've paid. Transaction complete.
We argue this point back and forth for bit then...
Trout: I need to get a manager.
Me: Please do, I'll tell him the same thing.
Eventually, manager appears.
Her: We can't sell you these for 1p, the price is wrong.
Me: You just did, transaction is complete. Till offers eggs for 1p, I accept offer to treat at 1p a bag, I pay, transaction complete.
Her: We'll give you a refund.
Me: No, we're done, I've paid.
Her: (repeats) we can't sell you these for 1p.
This also gets batted back and forth for a bit until...
Me: Do you want me to explain the Sale of Goods Act to you? Transaction is complete. End of Story.
Her: I know the law. But if you knew the price was going through wrong, it could be seen as stealing. :eek:
Me: I'd advise you to stop there unless you want me to also explain what Slander is.
Her: Sorry, that's not what I meant; I wasn't accusing you. You can keep the eggs.
She then turns to trout, tells her to take the eggs off the shelf (sorry, folks) and walks away.

Will be calling HO tonight to complain.

What do you think about Mark Hughes being appointed new manager ?

Unlike most of the other supporters who are up in arms about Warnock sacking & Hughes appointment, I'm not that bothered, I hate it when we change managers, whoever it is, it means another clear out & a couple of months trying to recognise the team

Heard a rumour about Drogba today, I'd like to see him come to us, also Beckham & Henry on loan were on my wish list

Being a long time QPR supporter I've seen a lot of managers come & go, Ian Holloway will always be a favourite & Paulo Sousa was a lovely man brilliant with kids open day events who got stitched up.

Thanks Fudge & Nikki - I'm actually seeing the only lady Dr we have so the waiting list is 3 months long. The poor Dr once confided to me that it's a pleasure to sometimes get a patient with a problem above the waist :rotfl:
She knows of me & my clots well

After Drs I will be returning, under cover of darkness via the High Street...........past Boots...... :whistle:

Just to add, mum isn't a bad mum (apart from the time she left me outside the shop in my pram, totally forgot about me and went across the road to do some shopping in Kwiksave. It wasn't until 20 minutes later she remembered about me) as it all happened in such a short space of time.

MIL did this to OH when she was a baby. She left her outside Woolies (remember them?) in Govan in Glasgow. She only remebered an hour later :eek: when she was due her feed. She ran like the wind back to shop to find Mrs Oldbear still sleeping like a baby.

Just re-posting, saw it posted over on HUKD about hour ago, and I still haven't been out to get any yet !!!

Right I've penned my letter of appeal and emailed it to the council so will wait and see..... I'm so cross because I'm always really careful where I park.
I've got a blue badge and thought I'd parked in the designated disabled spot as I saw the sign and a long line of parked cars. I had to reverse to get into the space and there were at least two parked cars in front of me.
When I got back to the car....only about 15 minutes later I saw the fixed penalty notice. My front wheels were just over the line in a loading area....but at least 75% of my car was in the disabled parking.
If the other cars in front of me (who had gone by the time I got back....probably knew they were illegally parked and spotted the warden!!) hadn't been there, I'd have realised I was partly in a loading only bay, but as it was I didn't. The worse part about it is that I could have driven a 100 yards further down the road and parked it on double yellows, which would have caused far more of an obstruction than 2 wheels in an empty loading bay!
What do you reckon on my chances of being let off??
