No eggs of any description.....but I did get something today



A Bl00dy Parking Ticket :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I should have stayed at home...it's been one of those days

Not sure about the in and outs cause you havent specified, but, i gota ticket at asda afew months back. I didnt buy one because i was new to area and didnt realise it was pay and display, lots of signs i simly didnt see. Anyhow, after a bit of investigating, i realised that the tickets were the sort you pop on your dashboard, not the sticky ones, so i wrote a letter of complaint stating that i had brought a ticket only to realise after seeing parking notice stuck to wndow that it had blown off when i shut my door and was now wedged down the air vent. Low and behold, they cancelled the ticket after requesting my receipt from asda!

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.

OB

Well done OB for telling them how it is :T Can i just ask was this in a Glasgow store?

oh i can beat that, i left my new born son on the bus.:eek: i hadnt adjusted to being a mum, and was so tired, that i forgot he was mine. when i got off the bus the driver shouted, "ohhh love , you forgot something"

Theres a parent at our school that comes to collect her child, and regularly forgets her toddler. She usually realises a few hundred yards down the road when she gets to the point where she crosses the road and then strolls back to school. By this time, usually a parent or teacher has noticed the poor little toddler and shes looked after by a teacher till the parent walks back:eek::eek:

I was told about this, but didnt believe it until I saw it happen myself, she came strolling back, and didnt even thank the teacher!!

How onearth she can get so far from school (walking along a main road) without missing the child (should she not be holding her hand?!)

I agree its worth challenging, but you'll need some legal issue to argue with as I wouldnt depend on the goodness of their heart. were you wheels over the edge? Its fine if the car was over as it is the wheels that count? as the OP has said, was it clearly signed as a loading area? I read somewhere that there is a very high level of success with appeals, mainly becuase concils arent well organised enough to provide the necessary evidence and so they get thrown out. Lots of forums about it

Yes, my wheels were over...just!! If the other cars hadn't been parked in front of me though I would have realised I was at the end of the disabled parking...as it was I thought I was in the middle!!. I very rarely go into town but I'll just stick it on double yellows from now on!!

Just been to buy some more sf chicken, only to find the offer coming off as multibuy* - 2.00. On my phone but will catch up later when I get home. No dtd for me today.

A big thank you to the OP for the Lindt Egg glitch. Got myself some today at an express. No Cadburys ones. Do you think, in light of the Telegraph blurting it out, that it will be fixed by now/the morning?
