The ones I saw showed photos and they looked identical to t real ones and the seller was registered as a business seller with 100% positive feedback.

The ones in the photo might be or they may be doing a proper job of it but the one I looked at in my hand was absolutely terrible.

I don't this they will stop issuing MOCs because of a few people overusing them. I can't help thinking that they are aware that these will get overused and all this talk about WW is exactly the advertising they want. The cost will come out of their advertising budget as planned

A few people over using them :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Trouble is they shouldn't be photocopying genuine coupons at all, and the better the quality of the coupons the more likely they are to be accepted. It must be costing the companies millions.

Not so sure. I had a chat with a supervisor in Asda who had spent forty mins on the phone to them. They flat refused to reimburse the store for £60 worth in vouchers as the barcodes on the coupons were identicial.

So imagine the ballache of this on a national level, with forty minutes a week phonecalls per store trying to get their money back. The individual stores losting profit, WW losing face and possibly future orders just by making '3000' coupons.

Edited this bit out
I have plenty of real ones thanks to the wipes, expiry date is 31/03 by the way folks dont last forever.
Ebay should clamp down and kimberley clark should go after the sellers or at least threaten ebay with something so they stop allowing the sale of copies.

Any updates from Ci ki, the lady who's baby is overdue.
Maybe we'll have an elite New year baby.

Hi Auntycaz

Im still here and still overdue.Was having contraction 2 nights ago for 6 hours and then they died :mad::mad: Looks like my xmas baby is turning into a new years baby.

Contractions are coming every 10min but not to severe yet. Only been having these for the past week. Getting fed up now :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Comon baby come out

Was so fed up yesterday that went to Asda and did a £45 shop down to 51p. Some lovely man who was buying clearblue digi pregnancy test handed me over his £5 off voucher yesterday. Hope he got the good news he was hoping for.

Hi all - lurking lately as no shopping for 10 days (bliss)

Sticking my beak into the coupon 'abuse' debate, I do find it a bit surprising what some people on here think is OK regarding coupon use compared to their general 'decent' vibes

Using coupons meant for charity purposes is a bit low really - I'm not a very active member here but have seen that issue flagged many times so hard to miss if you're a couponer

Coupon use , misuse and fraud has been an issue for years and there are certainly far fewer coupons around compared to a few years ago. Its naive to believe that overusing coupons doesn't have an impact. Why do you think so many SAs and supervisors are so wary ? Its not sour grapes most of the time but fear of the forgeries. Anyone remember the Haagen Daaz and Betty Crocker scandal - these 'internet downloads' remind me of those but less sophisticated - these were actual glossy realistic coupons not dodgy printouts

Just switched on the afternoon entertainment on radio 4.

Ive no idea what is going on but apparently some childs Dad has kidnapped her in his ice cream van and they are heading in my direction - quite odd that our local town keeps getting a mention! Possibly en route to Manchester airport - they seem to think its our nearest airport but Liverpool John Lennon is about the same distance depending on the traffic :rotfl:

Then they are on the A592 avoiding a low brdige - I thought that was Cumbria rather than Cheshire ????

Very odd - anyway back on the A51 - my bit of road
