Go on Ray, go for it

As much as i would love to take on TESCO (and avoid prison), I have my hands full trying not to be put in the hands of the private sector. G4S and SERCO appear to be out of the race (they both got caught with their hands in the till. That said there are many more private companies who woul like to run the probation service, with my luck TESCO will be one of them....

Thanks,

Got this from a moneysavingexpert newsletter today, and it made me think of this thread.

Private parking firms CAN'T fine you. Parking tickets from supermarkets, housing estates or other private car parks do better impressions than Jon Culshaw. Some are dressed up like fines, they can even be called Parking Charge Notices to mimic council Penalty Charge Notices. Don't be fooled, they're just invoices.

If a ticket's slapped on your windscreen and you think it's unfair (eg, no signage), like any invoice, reply explaining why and that you won't pay. It may huff and puff, yet they can't 'hit your credit record' or 'send bailiffs' without the time and expense of court action. If they do push that and the ticket's truly unfair, the court will wipe it anyway.

Lol. It is funny but in all seriousness some beuracrat has sat down and worked out that if you squeeze a little harder the poor customer is worth another

Hmm reminds me of a time I actually got escorted out of my local Tescos for complaining too loudly. The assistant manager couldn't handle my complaint so walked over to the security guards, I stupidly followed only to be politely asked to leave the store by 2 very large security guards !!!

A massive debate ensued between head office & me ending up with a dozen bottles of wine being sent to me!

Dont do Tescos unless I really really have to, even then I drive 10 miles to another store!

Well, I suppose they have to do something to make-up for disappointing Christmas profit margins!

Their sandwiches are pretty grim too as I remember!

Thanks,
