Do you pinch from self service counters?

What if it's any supermarket and you don't have a loyalty card?

I imagine in that instance you should print the receipt.

Those alarms they put on packs of razor blases are a fecker.

But if you look all nonchalant about it they’re fine with you…shrug your shoulders n that and you’ll be fine.

There's been loads of times where something that's cheaper on a Clubcard or Nectar offer doesn't go through for the correct price on the self service machine, charging me the full price. So as a matter of fairness I'll nick something of equivalent value next time I'm in there. The circle of life

Whenever I use a self service till, I don't print the receipt. The reason is, you have proof of purchase on your nectar card and I'm doing my bit for the environment. Sainsbury's is also a winner as it reduces their overheads with customers using less till roll etc.

As I left the store last week (having paid for my big shop), the steak I had bought triggered the alarms. I was then met by an abrupt shop worker who aggressively told me to print receipts in the future. Tell me this then, why have a f*cking option to not print a receipt on the machines then? Just alter the self service till so they print receipts regardless.

My local Sainsburys is the only shop in my town where I do actually get a receipt for my shopping, it’s the only shop that regularly sees me and the guards etc decide to follow me around, obviously wearing hiking/dog walking gear makes you more liable to steal, it would seem, as I never get followed when I’m dressed smartly or in my normal clothes, weirdos.

Crystal Palace League Cup Quarter Final. In the coach that George Carr (bless his soul) had organised from The Parkside. Stopped at services on way back and one if the lads decided to help himself and the coach to the complete hot plate replete with food. Police pulled the coach over 5 miles later and took one look at the coach occupants and decided not to do a search.
George agreed a fee with one of the dibble and after about an hour or more of high stakes negotiations we carried on home. Got back at 5am absolutely knackered; fucked off we’d lost the game but full of lovely bacon and sausage.

And eight shillings would have got yer TWENTY FOUR PORTIONS of chips at any chip shop!

Three pints in 1975 when I bought my first beer, a pint of Oldham Brewery Mild in the Con club where my best mate lived, 13p in “new money”, 8 shillings in real money.

The conversion from LSD (yes really) to Decimal was a strange time and of course business erred on the side of rounding up to their advantage. My Granny was around mid 70’s on D day couldn’t get her head around a shilling becoming 5 “new” pence.

Half penny, penny, threepenny bit, sixpence, shilling, florin, half crown, brown 10 bob note, very green 1 pound note and the blue fiver, we rarely got to see any of the higher denomination notes, 240 pennies in the pound, and the guinea, £1 and 1 shilling, the extra “Bob” being the auctioneers commission on transactions.

13p was 2 and 7

Is that the game we lost 4-1 (I think) and Steve Lomas broke his leg? If it was that’s a similar tale to ours, our driver insisted we have a break at a pub in London, he then stopped at three service stations and like you we got back home (Ashton) at 5am. My mate was being picked up at 7 for work.

I got home and put the Cricket on TV and opened my last can of cider, Mrs H came down the stairs to go to work and just shook her head, happy days.
