Snap looks fantastic.
I suppose I could travel past Artha and photograph the steelworks not quite the same though. Although saying that if you could get in there sure there would be plenty of opportunities.

28dayslater.co.uk have some very impressive pics of steelworks (abandoned ones always look fab in pictures)

Im sulking :-( Did my main shop in Tesco today, and at the front of the store there is a promotional chiller fridge. On the top shelf it had the little Mattesons Fridge Raiders. There were 2 or 3 flavours there and one label on the far left corner that said 50p. I glanced and it said Mattesons on the label but I didnt read it closely as someone was in the way. I thought for 50p why not and took 6 packs of the roast chicken flavour (one for each of my kids as a treat for their lunch box tomorrow). It wasnt til I got home that I saw I had been charged £1.19 each packet. I went back and was eventually refunded £4.14 difference but was told I didnt qualify for double the difference as the SEL didnt specify the flavour I bought. I was made to feel very small for even mentioning double the difference at first and then told it was only for when items have been double scanned! Head office just confirmed that I didnt qualify for double the difference and told me I was lucky the duty manager honoured the 50p price as he didnt have to if it didnt have my flavour on it. I told HO that I wondered if the products and label had been left like that to intentionally overcharge. He assured me that wouldnt happen. I just didnt like the way I was meant to feel like I was trying to rob them! I felt robbed! Wish I had just returned the things now and got my money back but the kids were looking forward to having them tomorrow

Sorry for the moan! But had to talk to those who would understand lol!!
Hope all is well with everyone, life is slowly returning back to normal here so hopefully I will be able to try and keep up with the thread! xx

If you believed that their intention was to mislead then you could report this to trading standards, and by putting an ambigious label on a product and then saying it didn't cover that flavour I would call that at the least misleading, and possible deliberate mis pricing which carrys a large fine.

Yeh, as Izzey65 has pointed out, I would ring customer service again and quote the above, telling them you have thought about their misleading mis-pricing and think that Trading Standards would take a very dim view of it - plus if you phone again, you will more than likely speak to someone more clued up
