Cool Times are hard

A while ago Morries had box 4 eggs for 50p , not their own but now theyve copied the idea.

I think thyre supposed to be 60p , but when i picked them 2 boxes were attached ( giving 8 ) and indeed labelled 60p on each box. On another set of 4 plus 4 somebody had attached a 30p sticker to one box

Well i went for the self serve checkout and try as i might i couldnt get it to register the first lot twice ,

The lass certifiying my age for the tinnies didnt bother to look ,


What can you do !


90pence for 16 eggs
result

I've been driving really carefully and have increased my mpg from 42 mpg to 46.6 mpg. How much difference will that make over a tank?

I ran after someone the other day who had left 15 quid in the self service machine, she snatched the money out of my hand without one word of thanks

Ungrateful mare! Whatever happened to manners? You should have snatched it back and said 'Ha ha, April Fool!'
