    I once wrote a snotty letter to Tesco's having bought a 9 pack of toilet rolls which were on BOGOF (hmm, no pun intended), so bought two and was charged for two.

    Tesco store manager sent me a package back, containing no, not the missing toilet rolls, but a folded up enormous special offer sign saying that they were 3 for the price of two.

    Did I feel a dope!?

    Not quite sure how relevant to this threat it is - but customers make mistakes as well!

    You mean to say you didn't jump on the defensive and accuse them of changing the posters after your letter :p:D

    Damn and blast.

    I KNEW there was something fishy about it.

    It was only about 20 years ago, do you think I am too late to go back?:(

    Or maybe I should involve the police, both for fraud and perverting the course of justice by altering the evidence.

    Not sure I could retrieve the original toilet roll though, would that evidence be required?

    Troll or not, I'll give you 1 pound compensation.

    Pm me your mailing address and I will get this sent out as soon as possible.

    This is under the explicit instructions that you never post such a thread ever again. You agree to pay me the pound (plus postage costs incurred) if you post any future thread (on any forum) about a claim for an amount which is below 1 pound and a penny (1.01)

    Sounds like they still owe you the free pack, then!
