If politicians want to solve the U.K.'s endemic worklessness they must talk to people in supermarket cafés, for in those humble haunts of the lowly leisured all will be revealed, says Joanna Gray.

"Surely Parliament will get the chance to vote on the WHO Pandemic Treaty," has been a common refrain. Not according to the Government, which repeatedly refused to assure MPs they would get a say on the binding agreement.

Don't be fooled by bills of rights, warns Law Professor James Allan. They failed to stop lockdowns (everywhere) and are just tools of Leftist judicial activism.

mace (retailer) promotions

category national | consumer issues | opinion/analysis author Sunday July 17, 2005 14:49author by pat lally - disauthor email packie at thai dot comauthor address ballyshannon, co donegalauthor phone 0877971056 Report this post to the editors

Is an overcharging policy in operation??

I just want other peoples opinions, my local mace store have promotions, e.g. two for a reduced price or whatever, but these goods are charged at full regular rate at check out. Most people don't complain so i guess it goes smoothly and profitably.

To my shock this morning I complained, having being overcharged on at least one item each weekend for three weeks now. I bought surf breeze 1.1 kg, marked 2.69 on shelf, but 3.80 at till, complained after going back and checking, received a refund for the difference, but , to my amazement, that was it, no changes were made to till system, so the next person who picks up a box will be charged 3.80.

In a time when many people don't check receipts for small items, it is these little, ongoing rip offs that frustrate me. So please let me know if this policy is being practiced elsewhere, or just here.
