*wonders whether he should break it to her gently, or just lob a shitload of the stuff in under the duvet?* :twisted:
We have snow. Round about an inch of the stuff, with more coming down as we speak. I let the ferrets out for a quick run round the yard while I cleaned their cage. It's the first time they've seen it, so were kinda fascinated, in a something's definitely different out 'ere and not entirely sure if they like it or not kinda way, trying not to put their 'ickle paws in it for too long.

CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT
I bought a bunch of stuff, over £150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of £40. I told her I didn't request a cash back & to delete it. She said I'd have to take the £40 because she couldn't delete it. I told Her to call a supervisor. Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it.. I said NO! Taking the £40 would be a cash advance against my Credit card & I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order. So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything! The second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of £20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came out right. The cashier agreed that the Electronic Pad must be defective.
Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad was defective because she NEVER offered me the £40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?
Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford , Sainsburys last week. She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My co worker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for £20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK!
My co-worker called Sainsburys who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her this. This is a new scam going on. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in the queue.
Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!
This is NOT limited to Sainsburys; they are one of the largest retailers so they have the most incidents.
I am adding to this. My husband and I were in Sainsburys and paying with credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card signer he just happen to notice there was a £20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she cancelled it. We really didn't think anything of it until we read this email.
I wonder how many "seniors" have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????
To make matters worse ...THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!
BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT........CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!!!!
THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE STAND. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO JUST THAT. NOW I'LL START!

I'd merge most of it back into the cafe, CA included.
JFF type threads I'm not arsed about any which way. I'd find them as easily ignorable if they were in the Cafe as they are in their own little forum, but they serve a purpose in that they make it easy for new posters to get involved.
The intro forum clearly hasn't worked. I can't remember the last time I looked at it, but I just have now, and most of the posts on page 1 haven't had a single reply. Back in the day I'd generally make some sort of effort to welcome newbies and encourage them to post, as would others, and that's been lost.
The CA forum IMO was created in the first place because certain kinds of posters and certain kinds of topics were deemed to be poisoning the atmosphere of the Cafe, and so they were hived off into their own little ghetto where people could ignore them more easily. In giving those kinds of posters and those kinds of threads a free run, in what is despite some people's contention a very loosely moderated forum indeed, all that's happened I think is that the atmosphere on the forum in general has been poisoned still further, because the combative posting styles displayed in there spill over into other forums. That's not a criticism of anyone in particular cos I'm as guilty of it as anyone. Merge the lot and I suspect there'd be a lot less of it.

Ahh now then if its a third 'single' person invited to play with a swinging couple then some would say that they are a 'swingle' as being single they aint swingers although they are invited into a swinging scenario. I prefer to call them facilitators. This is because they are facilitating the swinging couple to swing. Of course this is not a definitive answer, well,OK it probably is.
