Um, I'm not so sure. We may assume it's ready meals, but - part of my point was maybe it could be much wider and how do we know if we're not testing other meats - perhaps it's also fresh meat. Although there is the 'taboo' against horsemeat in this country and I detect that some or many people would be aghast and have objections to having found out they've been consuming horse, also perhaps there is, in some quarters, less concern now than would have been so, say, 10 years ago (given that many people are travelling abroad and may have encountered these things and wondered why there is such a problem here). In the U.S., my perception is, it's even greater a taboo.

Horses do look 'friendly' creatures and I would have been aghast to consume horse twenty or so years ago - indeed would never knowingly have done so, then or (probably) now. However, as regards being concerned, it's arguably only a real concern if things such as the painkiller bute manage to cause danger to people consuming the meat, or cases of unregulated antibiotics etc. possibly being used in an illegal trade situation.

Eating horse and donkey was quite common in this country within living memory. Admittedly some of this was in times of necessity as was the case in the great depression and during wartime. I could be wrong here but I thought that in parts of Yorkshire and Lancashire it was eaten most recently.

Thank you very much.

I collect vodka and Whisky. I've done the shops in Inverness and there wasn't much there. I can get most Whisky that I want, it's my vodka collection that I'm looking to expand.

If anyone lives near any good shops that sells miniatures keep me in mind.

My currant vodka collection...

My P and M swent to the Soviet Union in the 80s and told me there were dozens of versions of vodka there.
Apparently you would buy it pre-mixed with other drinks and flavours.
If you wanted vodka with cola you had to buy vodka pre-mixed with pepsi as it was during the cola wars (as welll as the cold war) when in the eastern bloc the only cola you could get was pepsi (communist china had coke)

They brought back something called pepper vodka but I can't remember the flavour as it was always drunk as shots so you didn't get to appreciate it.

I had two x 2ltr bottles coke on the same receipt-I put a dot beside the two of them before scanning......they have taken both into account and given me 70p for that one receipt.

That's good as I've got a womble here waiting to be processed with 2 x 2L bottles of Coke Zero:)

Has anyone managed to upload a self service petrol receipt yet? I have put mine in through the laptop (about 6pm) twice and no sign of it tracking yet.
Inversneckie carpark was clean as a whistle today, no litter pickings anywhere. : (

I scanned one today from sada (ours is self service) and it was through within a couple of hours:)
