Re the Cathedral cheese (glitch)?? In my local store the white £5. label has now been removed and new £2.75 label has been put in its place. I personally know the ast manager in this store and I asked him about this (glitch) and the answer he gave me (whether you believe it or not) is that tescos had tonnes of this product they wanted to shift and the glitch was purposly arranged and imputted on to web sites like ours and HUKD

I would say this is frequently the case with 'glitches' such as these. They know we will probably buy some extra bits and pieces while we're there so overall its not a complete loss for them

cheers Rooted but it's about a 40 mile journey to our local Sada's .

I'm really lucky with supermarkets - I have 3 T extra's, one massive S and a huge A hypermarket all within a ten mins drive. The beauty of living in a huge sprawled out new town with barely any traffic lights and lots of roundabouts! No rush hour here :j

theres a glut of cheese everywhere so it's just not T's .

the cOOp are doing b1g2f .

I think it's about time they gave away the European butter/cheese mountain again (as they did in the mid 1980's) to those who qualify for it .

I had about 25lb of cheese and the same for butter . Bloomin' tasty as well .

time to go and do something or I'll be quoting myself .

Have a good time folks .

Thought I had found some of these this morning as they have been reported as RTC at £2.75

http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-value-135w-13-sheet-sander-k3130c/100-0228.prd?skuId=100-0228&pageLevel=sku&_requestid=858846

They were in the Seasonal Aisle of my local extra which currently has been taken over by 'Clearance' items (Is this national & a sign of poor sales that they have so much stock to clear?)

However the SEL was £13.97 which is what they scanned at, oddly round by the tool aisle their is a SEL for £2.75 RTC same product but the barcodes are different. Potential DTD profit of £8 for someone, but didn't want to raise my profile in my local.

Not disputing what you were told;)but I find that a bit hard to believe. When things like this happen quite a few of my T's totally withdraw the product(My T's that are really on the ball always do this) some never put the white label up and some do (So surely they would all be doing the same thing:cool:)If it's the case of them wanting to get rid rid of something why not reduce it properly?then it would sell far quicker and they would have no need to play games and leak it on the internet;)

Scanner in one of the stores I frequent is broken. Is there any way to request it be fixed beyond actually enquiring about it in person, does anyone know?

I send HO a message when my local has broken scanners - actually I did it again this morning:

I have done this in the past and within a few days it was working again. Could be a coincidence but it can't hurt to complain.

I have been on the lookout for cheap tights.

This morning I got:

F&F 1 pair fashion tights - scarlet red - £2 reduced to £1 but scanning at 4p. AW-10, b/c 0279

F&F 1 pair fashion tights - purple - £2 reduced to £1 but scanning at 4p. AW-10, b/c 2209

I tried other colours - pewter, black, navy and brown - but they were still scanning at £2.

Has anyone had any luck with other styles or colours? I'm really going to stand out in the crowd in the winter with bright red or purple legs every day if I can't get hold of something a bit more 'normal'!

Or perhaps I should now become the old woman my daughter fears I will one day be:

Warning by Jenny Joseph

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
