    I went into a charity shop in Harborne Birmingham last week . A little old lady went in after me with one of those trollys on wheels to give the charity shop some bric a brac and they refused it . :o I bet she struggled down the high street with that trolly thinking she was doing a good deed by giving to charity only to be turned away . Poor things.

    I wind my 5 yr old son up when he tells me he hates me . I just say "I love you too" . It confuses him and he forgets what he hates me for ;D

    If shop staff don't say please or thank you I sometimes say at the end of transaction

    " A please or thank you wouldn't have been nice"
