    Tesco's have obviously made a business decision that they will
    a) accept coupons without you buying the product because they sell SO many of them that they can redeem them, however limiting this to 1 each and 10% closes the system to too much abuse
    b) accept rival supermarkets total spend coupons because taking a 16% hit (total spend coupons are rarely more than £5 in £30) is worth getting the rest of your shopping and you aren't going to have that many total spend coupons and you might be tempted to staying with Tesco's for your shopping.

    However, internet coupons and for instance, these TU vouchers, circumvent both of these reasonings and I can see that they don't make business sense for them.

    LOL so I'm not the only one that yearns to dress up in black with a mask on at night and rampage through the town correcting apostrophes on all our shop signs.

    "Franks Fruit n Veg" - argh!!
    "Get you'r fresh beef roll's here" - I have to walk down the other side of the street to this one and not look that way!

    I was in a pub last week and there was a sign stating that 'drinks must not be carrried upstairs'. Before we left I just had to rub off one of the three r's in carrried. A bloke saw me and asked me what I was doing. I told him and he burst out laughing. It turns out his mum had written the sign! lol Potato and tomato are often mis-spelt on signs (potatoe, tomatoe)
