  1. About 1968/69 my brother in law worked at Tesco's on Mansfield Rd. The store was opposite Forum HI-FI ish.
  2. Well they just went 1 up !!
  3. Always, always, check till reciept. The times Tesco have got it wrong you're talking a lot of money. Most problems seem to happen with special offers, buy one get one free etc, but they don't get recognised at the checkout. went to customer services a couple of weeks ago and got £7.50 back off them. Check what "Tarriff" your energy company have you on. They don't always tell you if there is a cheaper plan which would suit you. Why is it that garages always charge more for non fuel items ? ie. 10p + on a bar of chocolate at least 30p on a packet of fags. Don't support the RIP OFF shops, vo

  11. Welcome. Thought it was "owdyertite" !
  12. I well remember the "Nit Nurse" visiting our school. At the end of the school day lettere were given out in the class to whoever had nits. It wouldn't surprise me if this was done to purposely shame the kids. Yes I got plenty of those letters.
  13. The best I've found recently is "George's Tradition" @ West Brigeford, Long Eaton & other branches around Notts & Derbys. A bit expensive BUT superb Fish & Chips.
