Supermarkets that have trolleys where you need to put a pound in to release them.

People who use a token instead of a Pound in supermarket trolleys

Where can i get one of those tokens?

Customer service desk. They are free. And normally have a hole in to put on keyring so you always have one for your trolley.

Not sure why using one would annoy someone as you use it, then get it back. No other parties involved.

In the old days it was pound coins only as a deterrent to walk off with the trolley and soon people cheated the system by finding a substitute token.

What's the point of these trolleys at all if you now dish out tokens so folk can go back to nicking them again?

i thought it was just to get you to put your trolly back rather than leaving it half way across the car park where your car was.

but like you say, if they are being handed out for free people wont be bothered about not getting it back and they wont be returned (by some)

Probably a bit of both, tbf. I used to work in Kirkby, Liverpool for three years in the late 80's and that was where I first saw them and a quid was worth a lot more then than it is now, of course.

In Kirkby Co-op, the customers had to leave any bags they had - hand or shopping - with an attendant at the entrance so they couldn't shoplift and booze & fags were all stored behind glass with no customer access - you ordered what you wanted and it was served to you by an employee after you'd paid.
Quite an eyeopener for an outsider and on my initial visit to this delightful grocery emporium in Kirkby, the first thing I saw in the aisle was a local lady smacking her kid around the head and telling him to, "Behave, ya little c*nt."

Happy days!

Sainsburys are the worst for this and it drives me mad

Particularly annoying when you pay with a note so you can get change for parking somewhere later in the day and all you get back is useless coppers

It was Sainsburys. I usually pay by card.

What is wrong with the human race can be shown by the fact that we shouldn't need to have a law banning bestiality and yet we do need one.

Being intrigued by a post on here about the General Election thread, but still refusing to open the thread knowing that it will just wind me up...

Get over there Algarve, I'm commenting on Ed the Duck and I'm speaking proper sense

I 'spose there's a first time for everything mate...

Those irritating geordies (or makems) Steve Cram and Brendan Foster metaphorically sniffing Paula Radcliffe's private parts for two and half hours plus.

Nobody disputes that Paula was a great runner but there is such a thing as overkill!

I'd dispute her as a great, a distinct lack of major championship (Olympic and World) gold medals in her living room cabinet to be considered a great.

No it will not, nothing serious after all

We have to know though...why? What happened?

John Terry's socks. More him really, why does he have pull them up over his knees.
They look more like hold ups than socks.

How John Terry wears his socks is the least of what makes him a c***.

That marathon world record of hers alone makes her a great.

It is true that her Olympic record is poor for an athlete of her stature but she has won the world cross country championships as well as world titles for the half marathon and marathon.

No. One MAJOR Gold Medal and a World Record in an event that is run on totally different courses does not make anyone a "Great". She continually failed to deliver on the track in Olympic and World Championships.

Had a quick count yesterday and we have got approx 45 mugs/cups for tea and coffee. There are three adults in the house - why do women need to keep buying them?

Mugs that dont stack properly - you need to put them on top of eachother to provide space for the 43 other mugs that go in the cupboard.

The odd random mug that should not go in the dishwasher - how am I meant to keep track ?


Mugs - just mugs.
