Had 50 (2@ 25) of Garden Vouchers given to us and went to buy a book I
want at RHS Wisley shop costing 16.99.

till.
So the RHS were going to make excess profit of 8 on the book costing 16.99
if I had bought it. I also wanted stuff in the GC part but that can't be
amalgamated so the bill is over 25.
Later at a GC, one of a small group called Squires, the lady on the till
said yes we give change if it's less than 5 if over you get vouchers and
change.
I despair sometimes.

I'd have gone off to find £8.01-worth of something, even if I didn't
really need it, or do a deal with another customer.

Personally, I hate being given vouchers, and recall the Jasper Carrot
sketch about his preference for those issued by the Bank of England. I
got stiffed with £20 of Woollie ones, and have the same in Boots',
though even in a big Boots I can't find anything I want for that much.

A better voucher is Argos. I always have Argos Vouchers for birthdays and
Christmas. The last thing I bought was a projector. I give illustrated talks
on various subjects and with the computer, the internet, www and specialist
web sites I can make a very descriptive and illustrated talk. The most
recent was to the WI where I gave a talk on the two theatres I am involved
with. http://www.friendsofshanklintheatre.co.uk/

(Someone on here was asking how we were doing in saving Shanklin Theatre. Up
and running and going like the clappers thanks. I directed a Murder Mystery
Play last Saturday Night and have been asked to do more, AND, had an email
this morning, 'will I take it out to a village hall somewhere')

I suppose my family will get a letter now for posting off topic subjects
:-((

Argos has such a range of products you can nearly always get what you want,
even gardening implements. THERE, BACK ON TOPIC. That should please the urg
Police Alan ;-).
