    Speaking as someone who was so forgetful and preoccupied one morning I drew out £20 from a cash point and LEFT IT THERE, only to be chased by a man returning it to me....if it's notes I'd hand it in/attempt to find the owner. And if you can't, give it to a worthwhile charity.

    I also (I'm not really scatty honest) left my iphone in a hostel loo in New Zealand last year...realised when I was in town and ran back only to find it gone. Went to reception in tears just in time to catch a guy handing it in. Little things like that restore my faith in humanity.

    I agree.....lovely place to browse but defo not MSE....I always come home empty handed :rotfl:

    Last time I went, I didn't spend lots, but more than I normally would :o
    There is a big sada nearby but if you're after afew bargains forget it :rotfl:

    the rates are extremely high so don't think any of the stores do cut price. If they did I would go more often :p

    As for the Christmas market - its mahoosive. Think its the biggest one outside Europe. Its fantastic and its only few minutes walk from the train stations. But hope you're leaving cars at home - parking is dreadful :eek:
    unless you park away from city centre and get the tram in

    How far away is the Arndale Centre and Lowry outlet place?

    when i went through self scan this afternoon there was a £10 note in the receptacle




    .............should i have handed it in to customer service ??


    Having worked on self service an awful lot (this weekend I have, tbh most weekend I do) I would say hand it in. :)

    You never know how desperate that individual is for cash and tbh £10 is a decent amount of cash IMO.

    Someone left £10 yesterday, I print out a till receipt. (Shows till number and time) and hand it in to my manager.

    That way when/if that individual phones up. We can ask him what till it was (using his receipt number plus the time) :) and 9/10 times they do get the money back :)


    If coins are left I actually just stick it in the charity box. As 99% of the time no one will come back for pennies worth!

    :hello: So I guess it's 'glitch receipt' first then:D (as regards APG) - Avs W it was, with the 10pack Veg Fingers as an attempt trigger (no Belvita chocolate sadly so not a double-go) and, oh yes, I got the wrong apple as well:mad::rotfl:.

    If only it was allowable to punch the lights out of everyone shopping in the store today:eek:. It would have been so much of a stress relief for me - but instead I was just :mad::mad: inside as they were all in the way and going round the store so slowly and blocking every aisle up. Grrr!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: "Move, out of the way" I kept thinking to myself! Get outta the way...!! So, after an annoying afternoon instore and thankfully no punches involved, up to me to check how badly I did on the PG.
