Has anyone found the Mountain Dew anywhere please? I'm taking drinks to a charity thing on Friday and it would be a good addition!

Very hard to find but the small bottles I've been getting them from Mr !!!!!! on the shelves (not the sandwich fridge)

The Volvic star wars bottles that have been on Q are 65p in Sada in the sandwich fridges but often run out so Ive still got one to collect from my Q

The Touch of Fruit bottles that are/were free on shopimum I found in the sandwich fridges in a bigger Sada

Most of my bottles also go into the food bank but I keep the water bottles for a while just incase a random offspring shows up

I can't work out if that is good for us or bad for us...

I must admit I havn't had a price query in either of the 2 T i use for quite some time.....but give T their dues once I do point it out to them and remind them of dtd they always oblige....and after this is highlighted nationally I suspect they will be less able to come up with excuses not to offer the dtd
It's still a better policy than the other supermarkets as from my understanding everyone else just makes a standard refund of the overcharge.

What did seem apparent this morning when it was being discussed was that T were appearing to be more customer focused and happy to accept that human error does occur....and thats always been the thing that in the past they have been happy to use that excuse with me in order to wriggle out of dtd.

There seems to be a new customer focus manager being implemented shortly who aims I understand to put the customer much more in the forefront.

A couple of weeks ago I made a complaint to T regarding a member of staff and the way I was spoken to and treated simply because I had reduced food in my basket...this translated into a GC for £50 and whilst I should never have been put in the situation to feel the need to go to HO to complain....I certainly felt that they understood the basis of it and were more than happy to compensate.

Thanks for info re Mountain Dew etc. Will keep looking.

Not good news about the O2 meal deals.

Viking won't count gift cards towards my £30 spend! Grrrr.

No sign of any Mountain Dew here. Probably as well as I would just drink it.

Onwards and upwards as you say LEJC. Sometimes your energy amazes me

HG and all elite....something else worth doing is checking your state pension forecast. It will tell you what pension you will receive based on your current NIC's. You may think that you have sufficient working years to get the full pension but this might not be the case if you were contracted out for some of your working life. Again, this has been discussed on the pension forum, and they will be able to offer lots of advice, about buying extra years, how much it costs, against how much extra pension you will get each week. Its really interesting once you get your head around it all, and an opportunity to get your pensions in order prior to retirement.
