wombling in tesco - what's safe

SUESMITH_2

i have wombled in the past, don't do it now though but that's only because i can't be bothered to hunt.

our friend doesn't have a cc as he doesn't want Tescos knowing anything about him; he's a taxi driver who goes through lots of petrol and he gives me his receipts for me to put on when i can be bothered. his view is if i can be bothered let me have the points which is an attitude i would imagine quite a few people who just chuck receipts away have.

mr T is far too powerful if you ask me

dear me! Who said get a life?
If you've nowt better to do than moan about people getting a few points added to their clubcards I think YOU'RE the one needing to get a life!

I womble if see one, and after telling my 9 year old son about it he has made it his mission to collect as many receipts as possible! This week he has found an 85 points, 2 x 40 odd points and an assortment of 20 odd ones. I put 2 on each time I go in, and when I'm whizzing down the pepsi max rollercoaster at blackpool pleasure beach (Paid for in deals) I shall care not what anyone thinks and shall raise a toast to the wombles of MSE common.

Besides which, we're helping the environment. People shouldn't leave litter about.
Cheers all
Regards
A saddo with £45 worth of points already this quarter xx

To agree with a few, wombling is illegal and should be the top agenda of the Labour government to stop as this is corrupting our nation. How sad Mr. T will not be making another million from points derived by this sickening and unspeakable crime of picking up tesco points other people do not want.

So we have
awful schools
awful hospitals and rife MRSA
overcrowding and thousands of illegal immigrants
People being shot, mugged, killed and raped.
Pensioners frightened to go out
Kids terrorising neighbourhoods
Teengae pregnancy on the increas
benefit fraud costing us billions.

And the government should make wombling it's top priority??????

The mind boggles!

im sorry, i read title of thread and had visions of you all dressed up as uncle bulgaria :rotfl::rotfl: sorry wrong thread

I did once! :rotfl: 36 years ago in a brownie concert with all proceeds to The Magpie Appeal. (THose of you over 35/40 will remember magpie:D ) My mum made my costume and it was super! e danced round the stage singing "Underground overground wombling free
The wombles of MSE common are we. OK, not quite, but even so.

This thread is hilarious. given me a bit of entertainment on a boring Sunday evening. Why do people get their knickers in a twist over something so trivial? You'd think we were nicking THEIR points for goodness sake!

This womble is off to bed now cos she's tired from all that litter collecting. Night all:p

I have a life thank you and we are all entitled to an opinion, womblers and anti-womblers.

My "life" though does not involve going around Tesco picking up rubbish and then wasting my "life" queing up at Customer Services to get a few points!

It obviously brings a little pleasure to your life though..........

My life doesn't involve going round tesco picking uprubbish and spending ages queuing!
My life involves several holidays a year, lots of days out and TONS of fun, most of which can be done cos I save so much money couponing and accrue so many clubcard points.
I am going to tesco anyway. If I see a receipt on my way, I pick it up. (My son picks loads up, it's a kind of hobby for him while I am shopping. (And yes he does have a life too, top of the league with his football team, 7 holidays a year. days out at various places, lots of walks and quality family time etc etc, before you say) As for queueing, if there's a queue on my way in, I'll put the points on on myw ay out. I've never stood more than 5 mins to put points on.

yes we are all entitled to an opinion whether we agree or not, but some people seem to be likening it to rape and pillage!!! It's a few flippin points!!!! Either join in, or just accept it!

Completely missed the irony in Jinkssick's post. Shame.

Did realise that later on. Itwas late last night and I was half asleep! There are that many people who appear to REALLY feel like that, you never know, do you? LOL
Sorry jinkksick

standingupformyself

I don't put myself out but I do always scan my eyes around for till spits left in trolleys ec.. but am never fortunate.
My sons bedroom is one large litter basket, and I can usually find half a dozen Tesco receipts at any one time, which I most certainly do ask them to put onto my account in my little Tesco Extra....

I don't beleive that anyone could really think that Wombling is morally wrong etc.. Tesco don't like it, we know that. But we all know that it's a chance you take when you have extra points added on at CS. Live and Let Live, it's so easy to criticise when there really is no need.
