As an ex retail manager I came across this plenty of times . We had packs with % free, that then went on offer. Unless the product is short coded you take the % product off sale and add them to your back stock. You then sell the normal bottles at the offer price . When the offer ends , you put your % product back on sale. That way your OSH customer gets the perception that you've always got offers on his favourite tipple , which creates a bit of loyalty and you stop this sort of nonsense happening over a couple of quid. The manager of this store is clearly an idiot or doesn't know enough about his stock and offers

Anybody who thinks that Cameron could have got away with not endorsing a vote is clearly deluded. Once the Nats won a majority a vote was inevitable , no matter which party was in government . Cameron must take some of the blame for a wishy washy pigs ear of a campaign, but then again he's the worst sort of Tory , a soaking wet modern day Ted Heath. Labour and the lib/dumbs have been woeful , where is John Reid , Charlie Kennedy , why have the no campaign concentrated on trying to frighten people and now trying to bribe them. I so hope the clowns in Westminster run the eu referendum the same way when that comes . If I was running the no campaign I'd send Michael Gove ( a sweaty i believe ) up there everyday, send Boris as he's bound to foul it up, send Cleggy up to Edinburgh to talk to students , roger Helmer would play a role and id get The duke of Edinburugh to attend a few hustings. As a " I hope they bugger off " non voter , I guess my " plan" is a bit far fetched , but we've had the next beat thing , a load of elitest plums and champagne socialists lecturing and trying to bully the voters . If anything sums up the political pygmies that run Westminster it's this No campaign. The funny thing is the thing that's going to defeat the yes people is the very thing they hate the most. The Tories . Poll after poll shows the 17% of Tory voters in Scotland soiled in their support, where as labour are struggling to hold up their vote.

Although there are fixed term parliaments , the Tory leader ( which I doubt will be Cameron) will have to be able to command a majority .I would imagine the lib/dumbs will pull out of any formal coalition and just prop up a minority government on a supply and confidence basis limping on to May '15 , when the fun really begins.

This is what Yasmin Alibhai-Brown , a well known Muslim leftie said in the independent "I partly blame the families and communities. Too many Asian mothers spoil their boys , undervalue their girls and demean their daughter in laws. Within some Asian British circles the west is immoral and it is OK to take their girls and ruin them further". She went on to say some of her fiercest arguments are with Asians that hold this " disgusting" view.

God , I do hope the opinion polls are right and they bugger off . I'm sick to death of Jocks banging on about getting the "Government they didn't elect" , well you've got more chance of going to the moon in a shoe box than electing a labour MP round here, but we still ended up with Broon and Tony ( two jocks btw) . I can't work out whether they are ignorant of the electrol system in the uk or just enjoy complaining , maybe a mixture of both . I would also love to see this Socialist caring utopia they are going to build , although I suspect they'll be back cap in hand within a decade. Not the Celtic tiger, more like a pussy. At the end of the day , the unionists have made a complete and utter Horlicks of the campaign . Salmond's basic model is flawed in the extreme , yet the political pygmies charged with protecting the union are clueless chumps . And these clowns are running our lives? I think they'll pull back from the edge , as they've got Devo Max. Therefore , all us English have to look forward to is the wonderful thought of their faces when the rest of the uk votes to leave the EU. Perhaps they can have another go and we'll end up rid of the EUSSR and the whining jocks, now that's a lovely thought. All we'll need then is to get rid of the German family in Buck House and we'll be a great democracy

Salmond needs to learn the definition of independence , because what he's proposing sure as hell ain't it. What on earth will Scotland have control of if they follow his model. You can't keep the pound and have control of your fiscal policy, their borders will be controlled by the EU. Their head of state will be an unelected toff from a German family. Their Vat will be subject to EU limits, a large % of their laws decided in Brussells and I would I imagine that for all the Nats protestation , NATO will pretty much run their defence policy. What on earth is the difference between Devo max and their version of "independence " , because I'm struggling to see any . The only difference I can see is they'll not have us paying for their unaffordable nhs and public service freebies

Amazing , seems pretty conclusive to me.

To be a top flight footballer you have to have absolute belief in your own ability. He won't be thinking " I'm not really good enough for Man City" , he will think he is , and will believe that he can get better and certainly be ahead of Dzeko and Jovetic.

I don't know the exact law on this , but having once been in retail management, I'm surprised tesco took this line. They were always pretty good and were held up as an example to follow around doing what's right for the customer. However, that was a number of years ago, so maybe they've changed. I would be amazed if there wasn't some sort of duty manager there, I'm pretty sure their own policy will be there must be a certain level of management on the premises during trading. He/she were probably in the office doing **** all, which does happen a lot in retail. It all depends how far you want to take it. If you write to the store and cc in head office ( although the best bet is the regional manager, if you can get that detail) and I'm pretty sure they'll send you a good will gesture , maybe a £10 or £5. Particularly if you go big on the staff being disinterested and the pricing being misleading. Make a big song and dance about being embarrassed in front of other customers . It really depends on whether you want to be srsed to spend time doing it.

So pap , what is the best way to store these photos? If they're behind some lock and hide app on a phone or tablet and not uploaded to any cloud is that safe? I'd hate the thought of Mrs duck plastered all over the internet, particularly if blokes were eating their breakfast at the time of stumbling across the pictures.

I lived and worked in FLA 25 years ago and there were plenty of " Americans" that got it and understood it. Most were second generation immigrants or illegals , but the local league was competitive and the state cup an extremely high standard ( we reached the semi final twice). It was starting to take off amongst the middle class whites , one reason being parents feeling it was safer than gridiron. If it ever took off within the poor and African American communities, then they really could be world beaters . I guess , basketball is just as simple and cheap to play so I doubt it ever will.

I must be getting old because I don't know who any of these chicks are. I read somewhere that the bird from Cory was involved but no pictures have appeared yet, which is a shame. I know who she is , so that could be interesting.

Let's hope there's no send back clause .

No he didn't , I was there and I'm struggling to think of anything he did that made the slightest difference to the result.

That's why he resigned his seat. An honourable thing to do. Most "turncoats " continue as mp for their new party , not the party that they were elected for. He's seeking a new mandate , shouldn't be critisied for that

The board have handled an extremely difficult situation professionally and calmly . When you look around at some of the owners and administrators in the game , I'm thankful we have KL and les . Of course mistakes get made , but they get made at every club . But overall they've made the best of the terrible hand they were dealt.

So am I , however we may be able to Offload the waste of space permanently next summer

We murdered them second half, not that BBC showed it, awful coverage. Motd is so dated nowadays, terrible smug programme. West Ham were hopeless, great that we took advantage as they were there for the taking. Great that pelle scored , and Steven Davis was back to something like his best.

Agreed . What's the matter with some people? They'll rest a few and after winning the fa cup last year to get people off his back, Wenger won't give a shiny shiete about the league cup. If we play our best side we'll have a sniff.

I see we are entering the annual " let's make excuses for Gaston " period. You can tell football's back for another season, the nights draw in, motd is on and some saints fans attempt to convince themselves and others that Gaston is somehow not an unmitigated disaster of a signing who is better off poncing about in a softer league.

Free kicks are subjective, one Ref may think it is one may think its not. Line decisions are factual, as are decisions about who the ball last touched before going out of play. Lets see if people are so relaxed about it when a similar thing happens to us .

OK, perhaps my use of words was wrong. The flaw in helping the referee is that only one type of factual decision is involved. How has GLT made todays result "fairer"?

Just watching stoke v hull game and the basic flaw in this goal line technology has been exposed. For anyone who didn't see it ; obvious throw to hull given to stoke, ball thrown in and following a scramble technology is used to award goal. Ref and lino clearly didn't know if it crossed line , but gave goal. So we basically had technology to overrule a mistake in stokes favour whilst not doing so for a clear mistake seconds earlier.

Pelle is on a hiding to nothing. The premiership is hard enough to adjust to without following a club legend and the lack of service into the box he's getting. Its not going to get any easier next week because fat Sam's centre half will love the physical battle. He needs a tap in or a scruffy one going in off his arris. Hope he plays in midweek and boosts his confidence. His lack of movement is a worry, he played in a straight line , down the middle up against the centre halfs all game. Never once were they dragged out of position or dragged into areas they are uncomfortable in. I know we were spoilt with Rickie , drifting wide or picking up the ball in " the hole" , but he doesn't even pull onto the full backs or run the channels . I think RK should have played Long and introduced Pelle gradually, rather than the other way round. As for the supporters reaction, its pretty poor. He wants to play for us and Morgan doesn't, yet Morgan gets his name sung. It will be interesting to see what the away support is like towards him next week.

The problem with Townsend is where he's coining from. Surely spurs will want Morgan involved in any deal or will play hard ball over any fee. Does anybody really think levy is going to be reasonable over the fee if we continue to block attempts to sign Morgan
