    Wow £95  (even the Dutchy Organic lettuce is only £2-ish).

    i once paid £40 for a portion of  "chips in gravy" -----> family get together and the elders paid for everyone else's takeaway.

    Good on you for checking and speaking up 👍
    Not sure if serious. 
    1 = See image attached (currently Dutchy Organic Lettuce prices as Waitrose)

    2 = i was with my brother and sister and we agreed to pay for the whole families takeaway and we agreed the "adults" would share the cost  (i only ate "chips in gravy") 

    3 = My comments back to the OP "Good on you for checking and speaking up" 👍    ARE genuine 

    4 = The OP thanked me for my comment

    5 = OP did not question what i wrote 

    6 = i was making a light hearted comparison about the price of lettuce, the other was a personal anecdote and i'm  genuinely backing the OP for checking the bill. 

    7 = i shouldn't have to explain anything

    8 - What was it specifically that you thought was not serious (please justify yourself and explain your comment)

     





    Thanks for the detailed reply, especially #7. 

    I could comment on a few bits but £40 for chips and gravy was priceless. A close 2nd was praising the OP for checking and speaking up after being charged £95 for a lettuce. 


    There you go again. Hand picking bits out and trying to put your own narrative on them, rather than taking the post as a whole.
    I already explained one was a light hearted comparison about the price of lettuce, the other was a personal anecdote but you chose to ignore that. 
    How dare you suggest anything other than my comments to the OP were genuine (especially after they have already thanked me).
    No one else misunderstood what i said nor felt the need to challenge it. 

    Again you have not answered my question, let me repeat:
    What was it specifically that you thought was not serious? 
    You can't because you don't know me, you posted something that was not necessary and now your looking stupid.
    When you wrote "Not sure if serious" What did you base this on?

    Your comment was totally unnecessary and all you had to do was say sorry it was a misunderstanding. But no, that would be too difficult for you! 

    Do you accept your comment was unnecessary? 
    Do you accept it was misplaced?





    That’s really funny. Still unsure whether or not you’re at the wind up. The answer to your last two questions is ‘no’ for both.

    I thought of this thread when we paid for our coffee and lunchtime snack.  Correct price £20.20.
    Somehow a mistake at the till meant they rung the price up as £6.7k.

    Fortunately that, along with the £95 lettuce was sufficiently "out" as to be instantly noticeable and, therefore, simply corrected.
    Well done for noticing the error and challenging it  :D

    Exactly what i thought. 
    You made a unnecessary comment and a fool of yourself and don't even have the courtesy to apologise. 
    Then you try to mock me with "That’s really funny." and  "Well done for noticing the error and challenging it  D"


    You truly have shown your colours! 

    Why did you do it?

    Unbelievable!

    I'm not, YOU made an unnecessary comment on this thread to me which had no basis and you don't even have the decency to apologies. 

    You never explained why you made your comment. You don't believe your comment was unnecessary or misplaced and now your trying to make out i'm the one to blame.  

    Shame on you. I won't be bullied! 

    Perhaps you should think before you start posting next time!

    If you don’t mind, can you please clarify something as I’m trying to picture it?

    Was it as you say chips in gravy, or was it gravy on chips?

    You just accused me of trolling you and now you expect me to answer your question. Are you on medication?
    Don't answer, i don't care.
    You know your comment was ill thought out and unnecessary and you just can't bring yourself to say sorry!
