She was right next to us on Queen Victoria in December 2012, she didn't even make a short thank you speech when she unveiled her portrait which we thought was a bit rude

My vouchers weren't accepted today in T either.
Good news really.
I was only trying to buy 3. SA couldn't input them at the till so I went to customer service desk who said they were on the banned list. I didn't engage in any further chat as I don't want to raise my profile. I just asked for a refund on the pizzas which I was given without a problem
Buying them enabled me to reach a £50 spend. This saved 24% on my shopping bill using conditional spend vouchers. I retained the PP on the 3 pizzas and I have faith in Dr O that we will either be sent replacement vouchers to use or T will accept them after instruction from Dr O.
Happy days:)
So you are going via the normal route, hurt and upset email to Tesco HQ and similar to Dr O HQ
I also don't kick up a fuss either now, I would rather keep a low profile and bide my time.
I had a print off MOC refused in Sada a few weeks back but I didn't argue my case, when I got home I just sent an email to Sada big boss and I got £2 gift card in the post :T“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

What was she doing? Wombling in the car park? :rotfl:
Evidently not enough tax-payers money to go around for CPB
No she was in front of me going up the vegetable aisle. I had to overtake her so I could look back and double check it was her.
She was wearing a light coloured mac
I think it was definitely her
Oh who do I thank for the biscuits?
Sometimes it's teamwork and there's not only one OP who finds it.
Any ideas anyone?
Oh what a tangled web we weave

Oh thanks for highlighting this. I wasn't aware of it. I think this is similar to how Very used to operate? Although I don't think they do anymore. I seem to remember reading about it somewhere0 -

If you buy some appliances at Boots Electrical you get £60 off at Naked Wines (minimum spend £99.99). Alternatively, if you don't want to buy anything at Boots, you can get £20 off a minimum spend of £40 if you sign up here: www.nakedwines/terms
Thanks Nenen, sorry I'm not too keen on some of the naked wines I got when I signed up last year when O2 had offer you could get box for £4.99.
I have a bit of a reputation for getting cheap wine with some of the Elite
, few of us have a bench mark of £3 bottle or less and we always manage it somehow.

I just give them the card when I order and ask if I can use the points to pay. I have a couple
of cards and never have any trouble. Enjoy!
I used to be able to get some coffee cards for Neros which was great, sadly all gone now. I've been to Neros all over the country.
I have not been to Costa very much but our local one is fantastic , I could spend the day in there easily
