Frequently, used to have to use two trains and two tubes to get to see OH before we were married. Never did work out how I managed to get throught he tube, most of the time had no recollection of the journey at all :rotfl::rotfl:

Happens all the time to me. You know you must have stopped at junctions and checked for traffic signalsIn fact when soon-to be mrs Zag lived overseas and I went to visit. I must have driven on the other side of the road, But I've no recollection of it whatsoever. I'd have had to conetrate on it and give it my full attention but I've somehow managed to blank it out from my mind completely!

I said I would look at the Wine Aisle but not be tempted

But we found Store Manager & Asst Manager in the aisle in their going home clothes & had their trollies brimming with Hardy's.

They were really nice & pushing the deal :T
Even to go out the back & great a fresh box for us
Practically forcing us to buy it
Our Ts is wonderful - they love to share

Basic principle is that they don't HAVE to accept any mocs.

I know what you are saying about rules and transparency, and at times it can be so very frustrating, especially if you have a whole shop planned that depends on certain mocs being accepted . But I think on the whole the lack of staff training and understanding of the "rules" works hugely in our favour, so if I am refused one or a concoction of mocs, I will walk away quietly to fight another day or, as you say, walk with my feet and take my custom elsewhere.

Yes you speak words of wisdom but when Mrs Jaggy has a que behind her tutting & glaring it aint too pretty when she comes home :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:& as you say, i think we are in agreement, better to walk away ie (as i said earlier) stay under radar! Thank you for your input

Aww I remember that one...Didn't get it though
I did get some in January, but I have no idea of where it's gone and I've only got a wee flat. It's amazing how things disappear in here!
