      How supermarkets can get away with offer trickery annoys me, actually... trying to make you think you're getting a good deal, when in reality you're buying more stuff than you should be at prices they would normally go for.

      'HALF PRICE!!!' - except at the original price not even Harrods would have sold any.

      'BUY ONE GET ONE FREE!!!' - except they've effectively doubled the single unit price before providing this amazing deal.

      Oh, and those Kenco coffee refill packs - considerably less packaging, yet costs nearly a quid more than the same weight in the usual jar form - what the hell? I won't be taken for a mug, thanks (no pun intended).

        Same here mate. I hate going into shops. Shop lights give me a headache too cos they're so bloody bright. Other customers are selfish f**kers & prod or push you around or are rude. Staff are creepy little buggers most of the time who just dont leave you alone of make u feel like a thief. I also feel like a complete dick when I walk into a shop.

        But fair do's JP you had a really bad 1 there mate.

        WH Smith are buggers for that too. You buy something, then they ask if you wanna buy a bar of chocolate/haribo's cos they say they're on offer for half price, only to find that they cost MORE than most other places sell them for.

        W...T...F???!!!

          "Half price!!!*"

          *As sold at outer hebrides store for at least 3 months prior to this offer to make it legal.

          Remember those shops that opened in Bluewater and were immediately "70% off!"? Same thing.

            I think the worst thing about the shopping experience is slow movers, I can't abide people who move at the pace of a snail or suddenly decide they don't have a clue where they are going stop dead so you have to do some timely maneuvering to dodge them!

                    That one line made my year.

                    Sorry about your hassle. I feel for you, mate. But seriously, that's pure gold.

                      Ellie Goulding. Torture for the ears. How about you go write your own hit instead of ruining a classic? Oh wait, your 'career' was going nowhere so you had no choice?

                        My favourite pizza place being shut Christmas Eve.

                        2nd favourite was open though. YAY!

                                Google her, you'll like her, she's rubbish. Four seasons? That choice irks me.
