[Mr Skrunts]

It's a bit of Chinese Whispers at times.

I just found the link above and found that Newsagents come under Cat D. Didnt find anything relating to the thread.

However, I did find out that what I was told regards selling Fish on Sundays was illegal isnt actually true, but there may be some truth in it.  As the Fidhermen that catch the Fish are not allowed to sell it on Sundays.  This drew my interesest as I used to own a Fish and Chip shop many years ago.

You learn something new everyday.

I understand what you're saying Lizzie... I had to read the thread again because I thought I had it wrong!!!  

Supermarkets are becoming a law unto themselves though...

[Martin_1962]

This is just Tesco yet again becoming the unelected moral guardian for the nation because they think they own us all!  As with the recent cases of adults being stopped from buying alcohol when accompanied by children, Tesco staff have yet again exceeded their role as purely a retailer.

I bought it from Tescos and they said no problem. Coop were the useless buggers

[Martin_1962]

After near on forty years in the newsagency trade I can state very surely that there is no law about selling newspapers to minors; there never has been and there is not know.

This is just Tesco yet again becoming the unelected moral guardian for the nation because they think they own us all! As with the recent cases of adults being stopped from buying alcohol when accompanied by children, Tesco staff have yet again exceeded their role as purely a retailer.

I have now stopped using Tesco and destroyed my Clubcard in protest.

P.S. The law about not being able to sell certain products on a Sunday, such as Bible's went out with the introduction of the current Sunday trading laws whereby any store in excess of 3,000 sq. ft. can only trade for six hours on a Sunday, except on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday when they must not open at all.  All other smaller shops can trade freely, and no shop has any restrictions on what it can sell on the Sabbath.

I quite agree with that sentiment Lizzie... But I thought we were talking about a local shop???  :-? :-?

Was until recently Spar, then lost most stuff and went Coop

All our co-op shops around here are fantastic... Mind you, we've always had Divvy here too!!

[Dodger]

And to think, years ago, my dad used to send me up to the corner shop to get the paper, his tobacco! and a bottle of beer!!! I was only about 8 or 9.
Shop keeper knew us all, and there was never a problem...

As for 'tosco's' I wont use them. I decide what I wish to purchase, NOT them. They forget that they are supposed to be providing a service for us, and are dependant on us giving them our custom, not the other way round.

Far too big for their boots, as far as I am concerned.

It wasn't those big Rizla papers was it

We know we are being analysed. we don't get anything embarrasing from there but we do get a lot of points, now why haven't they sussed my petrol usage?

The info. stops at Tescos so not bothered, however I will not accept having my internet usage tracked.

As to all of these things you need to weigh up pros and cons.

Tescos will get business despite the noise and general annoyance due to the amount of them in Worcester no Asdo no Morrisons and I have issues with Sainsburies
