    I agree. We rarely go in the houses as we're mainly interested in the gardens.

      So many mistakes online:

      Amazon - Dry Dog Bag

      Click on the 'Size Chart' link (should I tell Mrs Scrungee they've got them in her size?)

        Do you think their largest size (45cm) will fit me?

            Here's a good moan, one of my biggest moans is people who leave litter in supermarket trolleys, how often do you grab a trolly and find someone else's rubbish in it.
            Often the local kids seem to think it's fun putting other rubbish in them while they are all chained together.
            My other one is, Morrisons, they have a covered area for trolleys, so why does the bloke that collects the things think it's a good idea to pile them up outside the covered area, ensuring that everyone gets a soaking wet trolly when its raining, which it often is at this time of the year.

              I don't mind them leaving their £1 coins, 10p/litre off fuel vouchers, or Morrisons £5 vouchers, etc. in them,

                Yeah but they never do, do they?
                Just old sweet wrappers they have scoffed during the day out with the kids, old till receipts, crisp packets and some stuff that I dont recognise.

                      Yeah, I saw that, good response to the sods.

                      Just waiting for some bleeding heart to say it's against health and safety, and against their human rights.

                          We get at least £50 - 100 p.a. from pound coins left in trollies on fluttering around supermarket car parks.

                          Found 5 x 10p off fuel vouchers during the last promotion and saved approx. £25

                          Not many Morrisons £5 vouchers, but probably about £25 p.a.

                          That's around £150 p.a. for doing nothing except parking in the far corner of supermarket car parks (saving on damage to bodywork by avoiding where 'the herd' parks as close as possible to the entrance and their kids swing their doors into your bodywork), and foraging on the way to the entrance.

                              Well I was under the impression that Morrisons £5 vouchers only worked against the card that you had, so I'm wrong then.:smile:
                              Same regarding the money off fuel.

                              Where do you find trolleys with a pound left in them? That only happens around here with abandoned trolleys on the housing estate.
                              I probably spend far to much time "enjoying" myself.:biggrin:

                                The Tesco we use still have dozens of trollies that haven't been converted to take the new one pound coins and don't need anything to free them, which appears to contribute to customer confusion and they forget to return them and get their £1 pound back. N.B. Those plastic counters used for choosing your charitable cause on the way out work in trollies.


                                They work without even using one of their cards. For a while, there was a delay in them being printed out after redeeming, so loads were left hanging out of the self scans, besides those left fluttering around their car parks.

                                N.B. Everybody who complained got another £5 off, whether they'd used their voucher or not, as they don't have any proper system to record usage.
