    EMR refusing Scottish money

    But Guernsey, Jersey and IoM coins work in vending machines, do they not, so you can always get rid of them there. I’m sure I’ve found Baliwick Of Jersey 2p’s or IoM 20p’s in my till drawer that one of the colleagues has inadvertently taken in.

    EMR refusing Scottish money

    At my workplace we are told to call the supervisor to check all Scottish notes. One customer kicked off at a colleague, arguing that he was in a hurry and she was wasting time by calling a manager, and in any case she had to accept it because it was legal tender. After some debate with the...

    Supermarkets discussion

    Tesco returning to Sunderland city centre. Last time I was there the old unit inside The Bridges was still empty but the council have approved a planning application and they are opening a new store outside in the Market Square entrance later this year.

    The 2024 London Mayoral Election

    Of course he has, just like how in 2021 he said he had “no plans” to expand ULEZ to outer London…….

    The 2024 London Mayoral Election

    Depends on which news organisations you believe. Apparently there are documents in circulation at TFL which refer to a pay-per-mile scheme called “Project Detroit”. However, Khan has denied all knowledge of such a scheme, yet he is chairman of TFL……would the chairman of an organisation really...

    The 2024 London Mayoral Election

    Today I’ve received in the post the booklet listing all candidates, both for the Mayor and the London Assembley, and explaining how and when to vote, what forms of photo ID are acceptable, etc.

    Generational Smoking Bans

    That is no longer policy at my store, if we have a group of young people who all look under 25 and one of them buys drink, we only have to ID that person unless we have clear evidence of it being a proxy sale.

    Generational Smoking Bans

    So ten years from now are we going to have “Think 30” where we have to ID anyone we think looks under 30 because they might be 25, and five years after that it’ll be “Think 35” and so on? And how on earth , when faced with two people who look a similar age, are we supposed to decide whether to...

    Supermarkets discussion

    Yes but, you know, it’s just, you know, irritating, you know what I mean????….. It’s the same as the one I’ve mentioned before, I can’t abide people in convienience stores who hover right behind the person being served and then plonk their stuff on the counter the second the cashier finishes...

    Supermarkets discussion

    something I’ve often wondered, why do people say “no thanks, you’re alright”, or “ no, you’re fine when the cashier asks if they have a store loyalty card or whether they want a bag or the receipt? What does the customer’s perception of the cashier have to do with whether or not they need a...

    Brighton-Southampton routing dispute.

    Ok, just to clarify matters: 1. The ticket was a super off peak return Brighton to Southampton Central not via London, held as an e-ticket. 2. Using the outward portion, on Friday March 22nd I boarded at East Croydon, travelled to Clapham Junction and then onto Eastleigh. Looking at the BD...

    Brighton-Southampton routing dispute.

    Point noted. I first came across this ticket on these forums over ten years ago when I was asking for advice on splits and/or reducing the cost of my trip, and have used it ever since, as it generally comes up cheaper than buying a Croydon Eastleigh return. I’ve never really had any problems...

    This is a scam, right?

    I’ve done the same with the one I’ve just seen, see if FB do anything about it this time.
