..what a load of sh*te!

I was only going in for milk this Morning when i was handed a leaflet and found myself in a looooooonnnng queue!!!

They were only letting folks in 3 or 4 at a time and you can only buy 5 different items off the leaflet IF you have a leaflet....some were ok, like the purse but the rest were tosh!!!! Of course, there was no guarantee that there would be any purses left as there were only so many allocated for each STore.....

...I waited 5 minutes then gave my leaflet to a lovely old lady who seemed most upset she hadn't manage to get a leaflet.....

I was handed a leaflet this morning as I got off the tube. The queue was about 400 deep going around the store. I couldn't be asked.
Looking at the leaflet, I don't think it's the usual stock, It looks like cheap stock to celebrate 125 years.

Someone also said they were giving 10 x £1k prizes to the 1st 10 through the doors!!! I guess some of them had been queuing since Midnight....

They did something similar when the opened a new Shopping Centre in Bolton, the 1st 'x' amount in got a £50 shopping voucher each...very nice if you have enough time on your hands to be queueing (since 2am i believe)

People with jobs don't have time to stand there queuing for freebies....abit unfair don't you think!

When I walked through their food hall yesterday I saw some china mugs thinking they were cute with jellies over them, I thought I'd buy some - until I saw the price, £5 each! Ok, I don't mind but it's their anniversary ones that'll look tacky soon and it's £9.50 for a tea towel or apron or something similar!

looking at the leaflet they were handing out,
it looks tacky, not sure if that was part of the penny penny bazar image.

I'd love to see someone pick up a £250 leather
coat, put a penny on the counter, and walk out.

Yes, it was only the things on the leaflet....

I like your idea though RZB!
