    Good morning, what a horrible night, raining cats and dogs.






    this is just soooo funny, we watched it when it started, then I was telling my mum at the weekend, and had to re watch on iplayer, omg, we couldnt stop laughing at the dogging bits. The children came in and couldnt understand why we were laughing so much, they thought it meant just what she thought :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I am not changing his mind just yet, he is only 12:):)

    Long while since I've laughed that much!! It is very good, very well done! Poor Ted, should not have tried pushing so many trollies :(

    Anyone that likes this and has not seen Phoenix Nights, it is worth a watch, very much the same sort of humour :D Not sure if it is on Iplayer, it is a few years since it was on, but if you can find it try it out :)

    Might be a good idea to encourage him not to use the term though or someone else may enlighten him :rotfl:

    For SFSB... I hope you dont mind :)

    I went into my sada today and collared the manager asked if i can speak with him in his office. He was really nice and said of course. I briefly explained that a friend of mine that lives up north has been banned from using apgs in his store.. the manager was shocked . I said my friend sometimes shops every day with 3 4 5 or 6 transactions he asked wheres the problem in that ? I said my friend was told that hes abusing the apg system..he said thats ridiculous if hes shopping for family members / friends which im presuming he may be each person can have apgs up to £100 a month each. I went on to say the manager told my friend he had been onto asda house and they agreed my friend should be banned from using apgs..my manager said.........no way on earth would asda house say anything like that because its classed as turning customers away..I'll call asda house now and keep the phone on loud speaker which he did and the lady confirmed everything he had told me I suggest you ask your friend to call asda house himself and explain whats happened he may well be posted a gift card as an apology too...
    The manager said to me I know you use apgs on a daily basis have any of my staff given you any problems ? I said only if the apg is over a tenner then they call a supervisor but thats it.. He said we all know the apg system has many flaws mainly when it does not pick up multi buys..and I know if I was a customer and saw multis not being picked up I would go back again and again thats only human nature.
    So SFSB please ring asda house yourself cant hurt to queery this :)

    Morning all.

    Sorry to hear about your traumatic visit SFSB. How awful. Thanks so much for letting us know of all the glitches you find though as you have been super helpful. I rarely take part in these simply because the staff in my store are complete mooses. I do an APG shop once every 2 months but they feel it's OK for them to all gang up and watch me like hawks when I am putting my shopping through. It's quite unnerving when you have a crew of them glaring at you even when it's just a normal shop, no APG or glitch in sight. For instance, how wrong would it be if I was a lady and had bought a few boxes of Tampons or downstairs freshener if I had a smelly cat with all of them ganging up and glaring at me like I had done something wrong! And sometimes they follow me around in a store to see if I am doing anything wrong! I try and stay away from Sada now unless I really have to go. I don't like having a fan club of Sada staff.

    Anyway, hope everyone is OK.

    Talking of glitches, is there anything happening at the moment? I know there has been a lot of mention about Radox and Olay but I am full of flu and my head is all over the place.

    That's lovely of you to do that on behalf of SFSB, I'm sure he will be touched, I know I would be if I were in his shoes :) I hope the staff at my Asda are so understanding as your Asda manager I am dreading going with this big APG and really wishing now that I'd not got so carried away yesterday :o
