Many thanks to the caring, lovely, polite, and obviously well brought up Squigs and any testers for the Dentistix. My first glitch of the year and Rebecca is very happy. Thanks :beer:

It is a public place so, to some extent, people can expect to be photographed in public places. However, it's not a crowd scene but a photo of a specific individual (and would you expect to be photographed when doing your shopping in a supermarket?) and, whilst their identity is not known to us and, in a sense, we could have seen the same thing if we had been in the store ourselves, the individual is clearly identifiable to people who know him. It doesn't show him in any private activity and doesn't really paint him in a bad light either. If you take photographs, you own those photographs and can do what you like with them. However, the reason why people may not complain is because they are unlikely to see this forum and therefore not even aware of the fact their photo has been published. This covers supermarket staff as well, even if their photos have been posted and without complaint in the past. I think I'd remove it anyway - and, whilst people can, to some extent, do what they like with photos of which they own the copyright, there's also rules about what can be posted on this forum and no-one who posts on here owns this website, so don't have the right to post anything that the website owner doesn't want them to. So, people can do what they like with photographs they've taken - but only to a certain extent.

Not wishing to start a discussion but I don't think a supermarket or shopping centre is a public place, it is private property (some stores have signs up when they are taking photos for events etc seeking implied permission - I.e. You have given your permission by entering and either need to avoid the photographer or make them aware of your objection). Not sure that applies to public taking photos of other members of the public though.

The Quorn glitch izzey has posted has some potential if you are a Quorn lover!
One comparison so far are these.





336G


Quorn 8 Meat Free Sausages(4)

£1.96
Should compare to S. or M. at £1, so after apg the cost for 4 lots will be £1.76

300G


Quorn Southern Fried Bites(7)

£1.99

Should compare to M at £1, so after apg the cost should be £1.64 for 4 lots.:)

What's happened there on the sausages?:think: Looks like you've got £7.20/4 = £1.80 each on the sausages packs - it seems they have not increased their individual price yet in the store when putting them onto their new mbuy. I suspect you were charged the new, more expensive price of 4 for £6 rather than the 2x 2 for £2 'deal' that they were previously on (could be good for a GC if people still have 2 for £2 showing in their stores) - would have been a lot better if we had had a no-show on the 2 for £2 mbuy, rather than them now charging £2 more for four - and currently now £1.60 more for buying 2 than before (looks like that may be set to increase to £1.92 more!).

Savvy, were you not keeping up with the Quorn glitches that was posted early this morning?:D

Thank you to Ops - after some serious freezer Tetris I have managed to get three meals crammed in (damn healthy turkey mince and cheese taking up valuable pizza and ice cream space ).

Also got Dentastix ... and we don't even have a dog :eek:. In my defence Anon Snr and other family members have dogs so they will be welcomed.

They are public places, legally (at least in certain circumstances). Even though they can exclude specific people from entering them, by giving them a notice revoking the implied permission that everyone normally has to enter them. For example, shoplifters can be excluded and, then, if they steal from the stores from which the implied permission has been revoked, that turns their theft into a burglary. There are Pubwatch schemes that operate in a similar way.

Car parks are also public places, when they are not staff car parks but open to the general public to use. It's a matter of degree as well, for example if a car park is open only at certain hours but has a barrier stopping public entry outside those times.

Indeed, sometimes a room in a private company's office can count as a public place for certain circumstances. If two or more people are hearing a recording played on the radio, then apparently it's a 'public performance' according to PRS for Music (or should that be against music?:think: - a pointed barb from me) even if it's in a place to which the general public do not have access - I suppose members of staff are drawn from the "public" - and therefore the business needs a music licence. Really, I think PRS for Music just want to make as much money as possible! Nonetheless, they quote case law, I think from memory from the 1930s, to back up their stance.

You've started the debate:rotfl:.

I wasn't giving my opinion when I suggested a supermarket was a public place. It is, as a matter of fact, in law. I had my own legal knowledge operating in the background when I posted what I did which people would not have been aware of.

If you go into a supermarket and then, say, you and go and verbally abuse and threaten the staff (or a member of the public), then try arguing that you didn't break the Public Order Act! Such an argument would not get very far! However, some parts of that Act also apply to some private places (even some police officers I suspect misunderstand that point and don't realise that they are covered, although maybe they are just being pragmatic in quickly resolving a situation without recourse to strict law) - although, clearly, in the supermarket case, the supermarket would be a public place. Don't argue - I think it is, in law.

"The same rules apply to privately owned properties open to the public such as supermarkets, shopping centres, gyms and banks as apply to council owned property such as public footpaths, parks, libraries and schools."

I would say:

A supermarket is a public building. It is a privately owned building that is open to the general public (during the hours during which it is trading and is, therefore, a public place during those hours - or during the time when the public are still in the building just after closing time but have entered before, until they've left and the doors are locked - obviously devious points of mine such as what if nearly everyone from the public leaves but one or two people don't and get locked in by mistake? but we can ignore those points - I would suggest it was a private place at that time as the shop had closed, even if one or two 'members of the public' were accidentally present although the vast majority had got out - and I wouldn't necessarily say that if someone got locked in they were trespassing - this could start a whole legal moot point:rotfl: - if they were ordered out by the business then obviously...? Which would imply they were actually trespassers although accidentally! But, clearly, if someone breaks in after hours and steals something, that's trespassing and a burglary rather than theft shoplifting).

We were talking about a photo taken in a store during public trading hours so, clearly, the store was a public place at that time.

"Have you had a fall in a supermarket, shop, or other public place?"

That suggests a supermarket, and indeed a shop, is a public place.

"If you have an accident in a public place, be it a supermarket, shop, school, hotel..."

Clearly, from that, a supermarket is a public place. That's from the website of a solicitors firm in this country. So, hands down, I win!:D (Even though it was not a competition, I was never trying to prove a point and was never here to "win" anything:o:o. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks - it's the law. So, it is! Legally, in law, it is - so it doesn't matter how much anyone could try to argue that it was not - it is still factually so, as a matter of law.)
