Though you also have to throw in the fact that staff in places like this really aren't given any incentive to protect the company's profit line and so giving away a coffee for an easy life rather than bothering to argue about it is pretty standard. I mean, just last week I gave some poor old fella a £5 free bet on the grand national for his "coupon from the paper"... Which I'm pretty sure was for B&Q or Homebase or something. Because I just don't care enough to spend 15 minutes trying to argue about it.

WHAT address is your shop T.S. - I fancy a huge stake Canadian and have got quite a few old B & Q 'Promo' vouchers.

It was Grand National, anything goes on Grand National... it's a circus

well it was appreciated, these free promotions are very confusing and my eyes are not what they were

That said when I went to get my winnings the lady at B&Q was very unhelpful so I wont be going there anytime soon
