    I noticed it on mine at lunchtime.

    Purchased for COS.
    1 Absolut, 2 Happy downs, 1 Gin and tonic to take advantage of the 4 for 3 offer.
    1 Brothers cider.
    Paid £7.80 then £6.80 back from COS.

    Not yet tried the cocktails as I gave away the others we had at Christmas.

    Think the Bros is possibly for tose who havn't had/used it before as It doesn't appear for any of the family or even extended family.

    Still haven't tried it. I have quite a few in the garage, but they're not due to be drunk until at least Sept/Oct possibly as must have at least 200 different ciders to get thru first :D

    Filled up at the pay at kiosk pump as there was no queue. Wondering why there was a queue at the pay at pump.
    I mentioned this to the lady at the kiosk and she said thatas long as people had £1 in their bank account, they could fill their car, so peeps used it to get fuel before payday.

    I do NOT condone this. Just an observation. Of course there would be bank charges if bought more than a couple of days before payday. As debits show on available balance but don't normally come off officially for a couple of days. I suppose it is better than a payday loan. BUT if peeps use this more than once, they should SERIOUSLY look deeper into their finance.

    As I said, i do not make any recommendations, just stating what I was told.
