Thankfully, scum types are in a minority but they are out there.

And will probably get a £75 fine (less than a 3 point speeding ticket) and a 6 month "suspended" sentence !

Be wary and advise those who may not be totally on the ball as to these......

My daily walk for a paper was to Tesco and back, total 3 miles. I pass a Spar shop 100 yards from my house but have always done the longer trip.

With the queues at Tesco round the block, and the price growth there, I have for the last three weeks used the Spar. When all this is over, I will continue with the Spar and find another block to walk around.

What a lovely family-run shop, just as it should be. Big bonus - no stupid lottery queues, no more trundling behind people who can't even stand up and use the trolley as a war chariot. I get bright smiles and polite greetings.

In Tesco I was lucky if the cashier looked up from the screen and I had to ask for a receipt. Yes even for a paper. I never leave there without a receipt for everything. I used to meet Jack Cohen regularly (the founder) many years ago when I was working for them. He would have been apoplectic at the customer service today. Not all of them, but one bad apple...



In case anybody asks, the subject is price growth scam in Supermarkets and the ensuing solution.

I won't need to worry about texts of that nature Fred, as I have absolutely no intention whatsoever of downloading any tracking app onto my phone, so if I receive anything of that nature, it will be deleted and the sender added to the blocked contacts list



Once again, a poorly thought through exercise, that when poorly executed, will be exploited by cunning scumbags who play on people's fear and insecurity.

Marvellous use of technology............not

As discussed the scum are out there, with at least one elderly person submitting to a moron purporting to be from NHS who injected a fake vaccination. Be suspicious, be wary, be thoughtful about others.
