It never ceases to amaze me just how thick some people are....


I was getting some petrol at T's and when I was paying for it two young dot com drivers came in looking for an orange coloured light bulb for the indicator on their van. The woman serving wasn't much better as she sent them off to the local car parts place.:wall::wall::wall:

Erm, modern ones are different HC. If you see a car with indicators that are way too bright then its because they've put in clear bulbs.

Pork Loin steaks compared successfully with Asda.
Febreze Thai Orhid spray compared with Asda (£2 each in T's less 2x£1 cello coupons?£3 for 2 Asda)
Roaster Chicken compared with Asda.

£10 price match back - actually came to £11 but I only got the Febreze to check if it price matched and, as it cost zilch, I didn't mind losing £1 off the coupo.

Also, sun cream in Boots is working and beer in Sainsbury. Shandy now scanning at half price though.

Do you think it's random stores where only 1 coupon is going through the till ?

does anyone know, has the size of the Price Porkie vouchers increased?
I have printed mine off and the barcode is huge!!!
also very blurred too, there is no way this is going to scan and i can barely make out the numbers underneath the barcode.
I have tried making it smaller using the printer settings but it just gets more blurred...
Any Techno`s in the house with knowlege that can help please.
TIA

Not 1 of mine has scanned properly, they have all had to be input manually. The old ones scanned no problem
