COULD this work in England rather than NI please?
TIA :beer:

Yes but in NI they get the pp at the till so we would know if you will get anything back.
It's still a decent deal at £5

You have to laugh at some of the old sayings. When my mum was annoyed with someone she used to say "You can axe the parliament side of my a**e. It has always made me laugh but I don't understand it :rotfl::rotfl:x

Afternoon,

Done a muller shop this morning, also a good deed for the day, an elderly couple were looking at the mullers and moaning about the price of yogurts, so I explained the glitch and gave them my list and off they went and filled a basket up with 10 yogurts, they were well pleased. I will be if still works today.

Got to take DS to a cross country race after school, and wait around in the cold until its finished, oh the joys.
