    Anyone know what the Preston homeplus game incident is ?

    Something happened at the above store to do with 1p games, someone said it on a 1p thread on hukd but they didn't go in to details.

    I don't know or haven't seen anything about it. All I can say is that if anyone got out of there with a 1p item......they have my total respect!!
    the place is dead and the staff follow you around like you're in a carpet shop......no scanners either.

  • Morning All,
    Travelodging in the North West this weekend. DM birthday visit to Liverpool yesterday and dS2 has BMX training session in Manchester today. Trying to be MSE but tricky! Had to spend £24 to see Lego Movie last night, but enjoyed it!
    I have a new voucher wallet. Martha Stewart expanding file bought in a weak moment while in Staples. I love it!
    Looking for school shoes for DS2 while in Manchester waiting for training session. Will be hunting down 02 freebies too.
    Hugs to all who need them.
