    Don't you think that a normal shopper would leave the size unchanged.With the amount you have it could give an indication that they were all coming from the same person if they were reduced in size.

    My new ones are printing fine. I change them between 50% and 80% reduction for this very reason. Some I cut close to the green lines, others I leave a border........I'm auditioning for MI5:rotfl:

    For your information:
    Asda Price Guarantee comparisons are based on prices correct as of date of delivery (online shoppers) or date of purchase (in store customers).
    Where a product comparison price is N/A, either, a) the independent agencies that collect the price data have not found an equivalent product at the named competitor, based on the comparison criteria (see Terms & Conditions) ; or b) the product is part of a particular promotion which makes it difficult for a fair comparison to be made (see Terms & Conditions).
    Comparisons are limited to a maximum of 10 items per product and 10Kg for items sold by weight.
    All prices displayed in red are net of any multibuys savings or discounts. For example items that are £1.47 each which are part of a "2 for £2.50" promotion will be shown at £1.25 each where the customer buys the required quantity. They may therefore be a different price to that shown on your receipt or delivery note.
    Any items of George clothing or Home and Leisure items are excluded from this comparison.
    Please see Terms & Conditions for a full list of exclusions and further information.

    The rice didn't compare as I thought it would so got PP for only £9.23

    After coupons got it all for under a tenner. I was a mile up the road when I realised that I'd been overcharged on the flowers. I'd bought 2 boxed bouquets normally £20 for £2 each but one had gone through at £8. To be honest I was distracted at the till by the conversation between the 2 SA's who were saying that all the crisps had to come off the shelves as Fred had been stacking from the front and there were loads out of date:o:)

    So went back got £12 DTD back.

    Stir your senses and flavour shot to go through a Quidco and try me free for the Stir your senses:T

    All in all a good shop:T

    Till spit out another £4 off £30 shop:)

  • Any legal eagles about?

    Woke up on the 29th to find water had been pouring in to my kitchen through the extractor fan.

    Phoned the housing association who said it wasn't an emergency and would send someone next week.

    Advised to isolate to the fan electrics.

    Pointed out that the isolation switch was right next to the fan and that the wires behind it would still technically be live.

    Informed her that I could turn the sockets off at the fuse box (extractor fans are on the sockets circuit for some reason) and that I'll be expecting reimbursed from them for all the food in my freezer that would spoil.

    Asked her if she knew what happens when electrics and water mix and got a very disinterested "yeaaaaaah".

    Kicked up a fuss and I had a sparky at my door 20 minutes later, not a plumber, a sparky. His job was to check that the electrics was OK and to see if rain water was being blew through the ducting by the wind - it wasn't.

    Sparky said he would report back to the HA and they would decide the next move.

    Earlier today I had Niagra Falls coming through the fan again.

    Tried called the emergency number for over an hour only to keep getting a "the mobile you are trying to call is switched off."

    Eventually got through to some young girl who sounded like she was still hung over from last night.

    Explained the situation and that I think it's coming from the guttering overflowing due to being blocked.

    Girl advised that she would pass it on to the contractor to come out and sort.

    Girl called back to say the contractors weren't coming as "cherry pickers were too expensive to hire last minute on a Sunday.

    Again, was told to isolate the fan and I informed her of the situation.

    Having spoke to the fire brigade whilst waiting for her call back they advised me to dial 999 as it was in fact a serious matter.

    So I informed the girl that on advice of the fire brigade I would be calling 999 for them to come and isolate it and that would probably shut the electric off to the entire building as the water could be effecting other tenants electrics and not just mine.

    Reminded her that the HA would not only get billed for the fire brigade coming out but they would then have 8 angry tenants as opposed to just one.

    I then went on to say that I had been trying to call the emergency number for over an before she eventually picked up and that she had clearly had the phone off whilst she slept off her hangover and that I'd be making a complaint about this to the HA first thing Tuesday morning.

    The girl hung up.

    Just spoke to the guy next to me and it was pouring in to his flat too earlier.
