    Got to local store at 7am with only a couple of people in queue. After waiting 45 mins at 7:45 the manager appeared and told everyone one in queue that all tickets were given out at 5am! Everyone who had got a ticket at 5am had just gone back home to bed and guess what when they appeared again with their tickets just before 8 they were all mostly staff!!!

    The manager was nearly lynched and had to be protected by a security guard, the press were there and eveything! People had printouts from website clearly stating bags were available at 8am only with no early reservations. Manager just shrugged his shoulders and said he hadn't been told that!

    I'm pretty disgusted with sainsburys, as most seemed to have gone to staff who were tipped off when the tickets were to be handed out.

    Just phoned Chafford Hundred, there were people queuing at midnight and the bags went immediately, oh well apparently according to another website there will be plenty available later in the year so I shall await until then, or hopefully ebay will be flooded and I shall get a bargain (well I live in hope)
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    I saw plenty of people who were told tickets had all gone rushing back to their cars so i think they would have been going to the surrounding stores.
    All was very fair at Castle Boulevard,nice que,no pushing to get tickets & most that got there early enough managed to get one.:T

    I'm hopeful that this get's me out of cooking Christmas dinner!

    Baby Ruby arrived after 55 hours of labour & an emergency c section on Christmas Day at 14.41 weighing 6lb 6oz...And yes I did get out of cooking Christmas dinner!!:rotfl:

    To everyone who didn't get one please don't panic! As per my last post, they will be available in a couple of months from https://www.wearewhatwedo.org

    Keep looking at the site to pre-register, and also check out Anya Hindmarch's official site as some may be available there. However - wearewhatwedo are your best bet.

    I just got bk and managed to get one for me and i love it!
    I qued from 6am & was the 7th person in the q, my store had 75 bags
    Our store handed tickets out in the order you arrived & if you left the q you lost your place!
    Only thing was staff said they wouldnt give any tickets to children so some young girls were crying because they werent allowed one which i think was very unfair!
    All the woman just kept yelling was its at the mangers discression who we give tickets to!
