Oh for heavens sake - this is ridiculous now! It is possible to feel irate without displaying this fact, I do it all the time with my in- laws! Yes I'm new and obviously want people to be nice when I'm a complete forum newbie - I had done nothing wrong to warrant negative comments but if you choose to post comments which are derogatory then you obviously are an idiot. Being a forum expert doesn't give you the right to be obnoxious. Lastly, I did not leave the house with just £10. This was my last port of call before heading home and my cash had been well budgeted for up to this point. I can't afford to take extra cash out with me for any unexpected eventualities - I just don't have this luxury.

OK, let's start again.

Welcome to MSE.

I really do think (and said so in my post #8) that all you really wanted was an answer to these 2 questions:

My main points are, just what rights did I have, and could the store legally expect me to leave without my own money and not have to give it back to me for 2 whole days?!

And I think you'll get more people reading your posts if you use paragraphs and line spacing as a long wodge of text often puts posters off from reading to the end.

I'm pretty sure the OP is aware she's pregnant since she told us that herself.

My point being, when someone doesn't get the answer they want but get the answer they are actually moving towards - they always bring in something from their life which has no regards to the current complaint in hopes of making everyone more empathetic to their situation.

No, I think op just got people on a bad day. Some of the responses here were patronising at best.

Was not nice to read really.

My point above (post #42) and in all my posts on this thread is that all the extraneous things the OP posted are irrelevant.

The OP asked questions about her consumer rights on the Consumer Rights board.

The answer will be the same for her (regardless of her current pregnancy, earlier sad problems, the fact that she had a 8 mile bus journey home, that it was her last £10, that she didn't have her bank card etc etc) as it would be to anyone else.

Pregnancy doesn't give her any better consumer rights than anyone else and that was why I asked (admittedly maybe a little sarcastically - and I have apologised to the OP) what the relevance in revealing that fact was.

There are other boards that have a more "There, There, dear. What an awful experience" style of reaction - but on here, there's usually a black or white answer - because we're talking about the law.

There was no need for the nastiness or patronising tone, which ever way you look at it. It was out of order.
