Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

i haven't been following live, but lbw decisions and stumping are impossible for the batsman to know with any certainty, so to await the umpire's decision is fair enough, even if he gets it wrong.

Mr Broad absolutely had to know he had hit the ball, so unquestionably he should have walked.

football was always a game for snobs played by yobs, and the fact that there is outrageous cheating, and referee abuse as well as some pretty dire referees (so i am told), comes as no surprise.


Hays - village cricket is as old as the game itself, even if the villagers were tenants or servants of the lord of the manor, so you are badly wrong on that score - read The Cricket Match and England, their England

and in answer to your last question - almost (95%+) always especially in an indie shop

King of the globe-trotters: He was much parodied but Alan Whicker was a genius who brought the world into our living rooms

Presenter of Whicker's World died of bronchial pneumonia,

cynic
Why not 100%?

because i would be lying and i know damn well there have been (rare) occasions when i have not owned up

Then it might as well be 0%. What sways you? Is it conscience, size of business or the sums involved. I was looking for a very smart briefcase to go to an important meeting and happened to be in the West End. I visited a well known dept store to look at their offerings. I found a Very expensive briefcase that had a label on it for a very low price. I looked around and found some more stock and sure enough they were all priced at around 4 times the price. I took the item to the till and got a great bargain.

The price is what you can get it for.

you asked me a question and i answered you truthfully
as to why, it is possibly just whimsical at the time; perhaps i didn't much care for the shop's attitude

in your own example, you were correctly charged - i.e. the shop offered the article for sale at a given price and you accepted it; however, they could legally have refused to sell the item to you.

That's a very 'specific' answer. The 'right' thing would have been to point out that they had mispriced the item and then bought something else. I think it is the same as the batsman not walking. Both are taking advantage of someone's mistake and knowingly benefitting from it.

i disagree

i also disagree

but with whom :-)) ?

A sale in a shop isnt legaly binding until money has changed hands and a receipt given.

If for example a supervisor saw a check out operator punching in a wrong price she could intterupt and point out the mistake before the transaction had taken place. Offering the goods at the correct price.

With Hays.

Your my hero as you know Cyners.

I havent seen that doodle pip chap here or on advfn for a while. Has he gone on holiday or been put in a nut asylum?.

Poor lad cant stop arguing and getting into spats.
Edited MONEYAM

sticky - if i'm you're hero, God help those whom you depise :-))

he he ha ha, yep.

But truth is Cyners even tho we have a spat or two I will still stand behind you if I think you are corect and fight your corner along with you.

Remember Tanker when he was on about getting out of Poland.

I said you did exactly the right thing.

Remember im freelance and always will be.

No crowd behaviour from me like Hays Hils and that dope D4 sticking together like lemmings.

I say and do what I think is the right thing not what others try to influence me with.

If that makes me unpopular so be it. Im here to make money and if along the way I make freinds thats a bonus.

GF.

You will never fit into the old boys cabinet.

God knows what you are missing.

You will never have tea and biccies with wavey Davey.


You should learn to kowtow to those who consider themselves your betters.

I always have.

fred - your nose is growing!

That is just one of my horns.

Can't speak Fred1new. Is that a new horn or an old one? Good job us old farts have a sense of humour.

meanwhile, i see that humourless, hard-left militant bob crow is also doing his level best with his pals at unite to get the conservatives re-elected without them having to do a damn thing ...... EM and the rest of the labour party must be going ape-shit
