I assume a message about some processed ham product in a tin has been deleted?
Pity I fancied fritters for tea tonight.

My wife's friend needs to get a life.

He was no better ; he used to work stacking shelves, and would drop cans / trifles then take them to the area for damaged goods - and buy them for half price.
He did get his comeuppance. On a business trip he asked at the check-in desk if there was any chance of an upgrade from Economy. The lady gave him a conspiratorial nod and said that could probably be arranged. She keyed in a few commands and said, "Yes that's all sorted. Just four hundred and fifty pounds to pay".

How quickly life can change, one day he's stacking shelves, next day he's on a business trip.

Goes to show with hard work you can make it!

Why are you bothering reading it anyway?
It was posted over 2-and-a-half years ago.
The OP logged off half an hour after posting and hasn't been back since.
Didn't you read post #71?

Do you really need punctuation to read the English language.. the words are the same , just less spaces....

But it’s really not too difficult to read a wall of text if you put your mind to it..

I have inserted some spaces but otherwise not made any changes.....

]hi i would just like a bit of advice please i will try to make a long story shortish going back to either two years could be a bit less.

i was with my husband in tesco shopping when he thought he would do something clever not as well as food essentials he decided he would put reduced stickers over the already reduced items he had picked up i decided to go sit in the car while he paid after a long while a supervisor who i know came out and said he was in the office

i stayed in the car naturally he had been caught

well police called ordered to pay 70 pound fine and banned well he said his fault

what i am getting to is i kept going into tesco shopping over the months either on my own or with any of my three boys we hadnt told them about what had happened everything was fine until monday gone my 12 yr old wanted a dvd so my husband parked in carpark while we went in

my 18 yr old was with us i had told him what had happened but not to mention anything

well we were in tesco with shopping basket picking up couple of bits son got dvd but i noticed it was two pounds dearer than it should be

we walked towards the manager who was a few feet away when i asked him to chech price , but then he said i want a word with you he said i have just been told you have been banned for over 12 months

I told him no

he said i could pay for my goods and i told him to go look it up he said ok but he could not have had time to look

my son went outside upset because he knew nothing about it

i went up to the woman who had told the manager i was banned and asked her why

say that she told me my husband was told both of us were banned

first i heard but i have been going in for months walking past these people and all of a sudden this happens in front of customers and staff some of who were grinning can they do this to me without notice

Personally, I find a wall of text off-putting.
it's a common complaint on the fora I post on.

It seems pointless disagreeing about posting styles on a thread that is 2 1/2 years old and where the OP never returned .

But he paid for the 3 year argument.

Simby

That is a very valid point soolin, and very true, it is unlikely to make any difference to the op now...

I guess I was just getting a tad upset by the amount of threads where the op needs help but due to grammar, punctuation etc.. the responses are to correct grammar and ridicule the op rather then look past the text wall and help.
