    My cream crackers needed authorisation on self serve before Christmas!

    Actually with that, I had a quick shop (couple of cookery items) today and it was wet so the ink on my vouchers had started to run. Fortunately not much on the big BC area. But, as I pulled one out of my bag, it was so wet the whole thing tore into two:eek::(, but it still scanned even when I held the two pieces of the BC together:T. So, fortunately, no problem with SS or any need for authorisation today.:D It was a different SS machine too, as I failed to stand far enough away whilst waiting for my one to become available and the SA beckoned me to the other one. But it still worked:T.

    (Sorry to brag:o:o.)

    I know - I don't keep my vouchers in my bag or pocket properly so they get wet:o:o:o. (I think that is a bit of an Asperger's thing - and clumsiness, bumping into things.)

    Zippy self-censored it, yet (interestingly, to me) it was still considered wrong. I think your version, which has been censored by the forum, is even worse! I don't get Zippy's original word from it, but even worse! You're right, about the greedy ****s, though.

    I don't think it is acceptable to go up to people and call them "greedy [whatevers]" and I certainly would not, and do not, behave in that way - depends on whether they are okay with it and anyone else around - I would assume that other people, whom I didn't know would not be okay with it and therefore wouldn't think it acceptable to do - then again people do with me and I'm okay?:huh:

    However, it's all grey as, even if people are okay with it themselves, or at least didn't think about it at the time, other people might think it wrong and it would be - such as that lad in the toilet block. That was not consenting adults. That now - it would be a huge police investigation and furore. Even though no-one was "harmed". But back then...

    Also it may not be always acceptable to go up to stranger and call them a "twit" either. So it's not about "swearing". The issue of "respect" cuts deeper.

    But, anyway, I take a lot of glitches from you:o:o - albeit simply because I don't get time to find any myself these days:o (sorry for that) - and, if you think I am a greedy anything because of that, then I'm not bothered by it. I don't think you called me a greedy anything anyway.

    !!!!!! & !!!!! was what zippy said you was rite had check since I. Quoted his offence post.
    Neither are ok .
    I'm shocked people speak to you that way & think it's ok savvy I know u said u are ok with it,if it's banter among friends a joke but other wise no it's deffo not ok.
    Ignore reality.There's nothing you can do about it.
    I have done reading too!

    Evening all :)

    Been looking at cars today but find it all a bit stressful , why can't car sales people just be straight with you instead of saying one thing and then coming back with numbers and figures that are so different.
    It's also hard buying a car that you don't want, I need it practically but don't want it arghhhhh :mad: sorry I know it's not really important in the grand scheme of things but just find it frustrating

    If we have any knowledgeable car people on here please can I ask some advice ?! :)

    Go to voucher wallet

    Click the top right icon that looks like a wallet

    That page will show you your total earnings and the amount ready for withdrawal.

    Click the top right icon that looks like a credit card and enter either your BACS or paypal details on the next screen

    Then click "redeem funds"

    Thanks - I would have never have thought to press there! Also took me more time than it should have to realise I needed to press 'done' on my keyboard when entering bank details for it to accept them! Cashback now requested :)

    I'm shocked people speak to you that way & think it's ok savvy I know u said u are ok with it,if it's banter among friends a joke but other wise [1] no it's deffo not ok.

    I know what Zippy said (or didn't in one case since he didn't say the word but used the letter F and some asterisks). I didn't say it was okay on here. [1] I know - people generally (seem to) think that things are not okay, for no logical or rational reason for it and are quite emphatic in their views about that. As you have demonstrated now. You'll telling me something isn't okay?

    (I'm, perhaps, inappropriately detached about my views in this post:o:o.)

    I'm not shocked at all. To some extent, I like people that profess to be "shocked" by you (although I hope that that is in no severe emotional sense for you). Maybe it's a sad indictment of human society or human behaviour that I am not shocked. However, I take no view on it. Being the completely detached, totally objective and impartial person that I am. Perhaps seeming to be inappropriately so sometimes. I think because, when it comes to societal standards, you (that is "everyone in general") cannot not have a view on something.

    You know what, I didn't think that song was okay, even with the alteration made to it. In the place in which it was in. And it did give me some negative physical effects as a result of it. Actually, I get quite emphatic about things sometimes - and what that does is I feel very angry indeed inside and then start having heart racing for absolute hours on end (sometimes days) - the more unacceptable I think something is - fortunately the heart racing thing (from me feeling inside quite uncontrollably angry - I never express it on the outside) hasn't happened very recently.

    Thing is, even if I consider things "acceptable" or - even if I don't consider them acceptable because I neither consider them acceptable nor unacceptable but have no view on the matter (being impartial) - that does not affect that other people have a say and usually their opinions about unacceptability are given automatic acceptance and trump the matter. Except when I myself think something is wrong or unacceptable and then apparently it's okay:huh::(. (:rotfl: - got to laugh I think.)
