there is something else strange going on - i found 2 smashbox gift sets both reduced to £8ish each...but total in my basket was £12....with 24000 points!

I've ordered the same but it is only showing 500 points on checkout page.

Should it not show more?

Very quiet in A this morning. If you are around TM, they had the sprouts on stalks for £1. I think it was a fresh delivery as a few were dated 27th December but most were 2nd January.
I've got minus b00ts points as well. Boo, as mimi would say.

Oh yeeeessss - missed the minus sign . That would bring it down to what it was supposed to be for the normal items ... or rather it wouldn't as it then removes the 500 bonus?

gemmylou1984

yes thats what i thought - £12 for 2 x £19 sets plus £5.50 back in points i can handle...without the crazy extra points
however, the subtraction does appear to forget the bonus points...x

Good morning

I am fuming. I placed an order with tesco wine yesterday, 24 bottles Of Houghton for £66 delivery on 29th December.
Four hours later I received an email saying that they had cancelled and refunded me with no explanation. I phoned to see why, apparently no stock.

The wine is in stock this morning priced at £239.76, so I phone to be told there was a pricing error, [1] (so had been lied to yesterday ) and they coulndn't send it out at the original price paid of £66 as [2] it would be illegal due to some minimum pricing law.

My other order of 24 bottles of Hardy's for £66 has dispatched despite that fact that it still only £2.75 bottle.

[3] Is someone talking alot of B/S

[1] :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[2] I note: when it suits again though:p. They were alright having a pack of strawberries and advertising that at "half price" for however long, even though they were acting illegally on that occasion. So that was okay and they were alright at that time with that, but now apparently there's some "minimum price law". You know what, I suspect they haven't even got their interpretation of law correct and that there is probably no such law preventing any such thing at all. However, I have not looked into it. I just suspect it's an excuse rather than actually the true position. Basically they just don't want to sell to you at £66 and they're not obliged to do so and that's that! Nothing you can do about that.

If it's done by an organisation or company, always when the suits the organisation or company and it's never seen as unacceptable or changed. But, if we behaved in the same way... then, suddenly, no, we'd be penalised!:mad::mad::p

[3] Yes, a lot. Load of B/S. Whatever that may mean:rotfl::rotfl:. I'd go further if I could. Sadly(:(:rotfl:) I'm on a public thread that doesn't let it and not in the comfort of my own home where I've just added a word in front and said it all. I love the very thing that, in other circumstances, causes me such problems by underlying of something else. And obviously, the word in front, to be specific and direct enough as Savvy has to be, was not the word "bloody", as if it was, I would just print that and say it. Notice how that word is allowed. I have a theory for why that is - and I think that's because it is a word acceptable to the current older generation, whose standards are still being applied so as to disapprove of other's language younger than them in society. So, that's why they allow that and not the, I think, far better word. I still have problems though and the older generation does not get off the hook from me: such as 80-year olds who constantly use the word "bloody" in pubs when 2 year olds are present nearby and, yes, I do find their loud and constant use in that context makes a little me uncomfortable (well, maybe). People really don't think do they? Older people like that, so disrespectful(:rotfl: - I'm half-joking).

It doesn't matter - for me, when it's in front of a 2-year-old, it is all of the same strength and, whether it's "bloody" or the word that they won't let onto this forum, it's the same physical effect on me. It is all swearing, of any sort. And all of it - it doesn't matter what word - is unacceptable in front of a 2 year old, who, let's get out the objections that the people who wrongly (in my view) object to it's use, "they might repeat it and imitate in a context in which they didn't know it wasn't acceptable".

It's not acceptable in current society to say "yes", in response to a question "do I look fat in this?". Therefore, we should not use the word "yes" in front of children, as they might imitate that and happen to use that word in a circumstance in which it was inappropriate, namely one in which someone might ask them the question "do I look fat in this?" and the child might not be known to be joking. And we shouldn't use the word "no" in front of them either, as that's certainly wrong for a child to respond in response to some questions that might be asked by his/her parents or carers. It's all about context. And, allegedly, children are unaware of it. Therefore, by same token, neither of the words "yes" or "no" - or lots of any others - should be used in front of children in case they might repeat it, unbeknown to them, in a wrong context. "They pick up things so easily these children, you know":rotfl:. The word "fire" is clearly out - who knows how many children might haphazard and walk into a dark cinema at night and shout it?

Maybe it's just stating how many 'bonus' points are with the order and it's not meant to be a minus?
Like you said it would not be giving the 500pts otherwise.
