Does anyone know where in Hope Street and Renfrew Street in Glasgow they are situated - thanks for any help

The Hope Street one is easy to find. Its just across the road from the main Hope Street exit to Central Station (close to Gordon Street)

No one was paying a blind bit of notice to it today. I got 6 which will make me very popular at this mornings tea break as i'm giving them all away to colleagues

FYI its on a timer to dispense one every minute. You just have to wait until the circle of lights is fully lit and then push the button

I suspect it will become better known very quickly once word gets out. Today was the only day i was going to be in town during the promo so i'm glad i got some before it took off

Morrisons in Morecambe have a promotion outside and are handing out free individualy wrapped cakes. People were actually walking past and refusing them as well!

Probably not every store but worth looking out for anyway.

Waste of packaging.

People in this country (not on this board obv ) seem to be unsure about coupons and freebies in general. If it was America every one of those cakes would have been gone in 15 seconds. People'd be putting on wigs and coming back for more!

I'm sorry, but why would you post this now? This promo campaign started days ago and there have been several posts since it began

Actually, i think the cake dispenser side of the promotion has finished already. The two cake dispensers in Glasgow at least were removed on Sunday but I'm not sure if that is the same up and down the country.

Where abouts is the one on Eden Street in Kingston? As in by which shop...

I've only just read this thread, did these all actually happen? I walk the full length of King Street in Manchester every day and haven't seen the one that's meant to be there. I'm worried there's something wrong with my brain if I'm somehow walking past free cake and not noticing!

Same...but in Glasgow, not Manchester. Sad to have missed free cake.:(
