I don't remember any of the other lottery numbers I saw - I just noted the 10 and 11 when they had those two but none of the other four main numbers.



:rotfl:
Have we all got just 10 and 11?:(
I have rewound BBC ONE on the I-Player for everyone and the numbers for the main Lotto draw are: 10, 11, 15, 50, 51, 56 and bonus 23.

Gosh!:eek: Those are high numbers towards the end of the main 6 - they've added more beyond 49 and made it even worse than before:(. Worse when the

Shame I can't 'rewind' BBC ONE forward by a few hours!

even if you only have 2 numbers on a ticket, dont throw it as you handit back for a free lucky dip for the week after on either the sat or following wed.
hth sorry have read back and am preaching to the converted.

yes, done that initially...no joy, thanks anyway

You keep on turning it half a turn one way or the other and you will hear a little hiss. But Mr TS says it does not run fast because it is only a tiny tap.

I don't run fast either. :rotfl:

That reminds me of a great tip I heard once if you are hosting a lot of males - put a ping pong ball in your loo and you won't get any splashing as they can't resist aiming at it. Although I heard it in the context of birthday parties for small boys I think it would apply just as well to bigger ones

Chauffeur duties, DD3 has finally been on night out to town only second time since turning 18. I remember well my nights out on Poole Quay.

That's hardly surprising if they are sharing a keg :rotfl:

I think, indeed, it would not have done - and it may be relevant for anyone outside Northern Ireland because, depending on the rest of what they bought - if they didn't buy much at T that came out cheaper than M and thus lost what would have been the difference - they may have paid more. However, how likely is it that normal shoppers would buy the Activia Intenselys with T's full price showing on the shelving? It's possible, though, if someone thought the 2 for £4 was good.

It always has be checked and chased up I'm afraid - they certainly won't/can't give you the price you should have paid if you don't - as we can never have confidence that their systems will pick up pricing correctly and it seems we can't believe when they claim they we won't ever "pay more". The thing is that that reassures most people and they don't bother checking and, I reckon, don't ever discover that they paid more. It is a nuisance - but, if it's a nuisance, that's part of your complaint - to be added to it - and it deserves extra compensation for that inconvenience. Indeed, we/you should not be having to check and chase them when they assert that we'll never pay more for our branded shops.

Everything nowadays is merely a claim, an assertion or an allegation rather than an absolute truth. They ought to be able to keep their word and we ought to believe it is true. I can never believe anyone when they allege that we won't pay more and therefore completely do not trust anything anyone ever asserts and do not expect it to turn to be true until it is proven to be so.

As for your shop, it seems you did pay more. And, even if they give compensation or any GC or any refund or anything else, it will remain the case that you had paid more on that shop and that truth can now never be rectified. Even if you get compensated - and I hope you do and I hope you pursue this as it's unacceptable for you to have paid more on that branded shop when they claim that you will never do so - it will always remain the case that you paid more on that shop. They may give you a GC. But you still paid more on the shop and then they gave you a GC. That doesn't alter the fact that, in what is now the past, you paid more - and, therefore, in respect of your shop, it seems to me that the claim that "you'll never pay more" was untruthful and will always remain untruthful (in respect of that shop now in the past). You paid more (it seems). They can refund the entire shopping. You still paid more. That happening in the past will always have occurred and cannot be erased from having happened. You paid more (it appears). "You'll never pay more". You did pay more: it's untrue in respect of your shop (if the circumstances are indeed as you have reported them to be on here). Whether or not consumers' shops generally result in them paying more or not and that's what would be looked at in the light of whether the claim is generally true rather than an individual case it which it turned out, it is to be supposed, not to be true.

This is absolutely the best post I have ever read.

Savvy, you should be a barrister.

Thank you for shining your light on this.
