I just want other peoples opinions, my local mace store have promotions, e.g. two for a reduced price or whatever, but these goods are charged at full regular rate at check out. Most people don't complain so i guess it goes smoothly and profitably. To my shock this morning I complained, having being overcharged on at least one item each weekend for three weeks now. I bought surf breeze 1.1 kg, marked 2.69 on shelf, but 3.80 at till, complained after going back and checking, received a refund for the difference, but , to my amazement, that was it, no changes were made to till system, so the next person who picks up a box will be charged 3.80. In a time when many people don't check receipts for small items, it is these little, ongoing rip offs that frustrate me. So please let me know if this policy is being practiced elsewhere, or just here. read full story / add a comment

Is alcohol a false helper which slips its hook into us under our guard? Does it anaesthesise us into a false sense of well-being and security? Are we merely conning ourselves that we are getting pleasure out of drink? read full story / add a comment

Coca-Cola may be making noises in the UK to cut down its branding and marketing of caffeinated sugar water to children, but in the US they are steaming full bore ahead like a schoolyard bully. The "pouring rights" contracts at public schools are not just incredibly bad policy, but they have been challenged as unlawful. read full story / add a comment

This is a link to the list of recalled foods from supermarkets. The food is found to have a cancer causing food dye Sudan1. It is being taken off the shelves and if you have any of it at home, even if you bought it months ago, don't eat it. Supermarkets in the Uk are offering refunds if you return with the wrappers, I assume they are doing the same here. read full story / add a comment

Today President Lula addressed thousands of activists in social movements in Brazil, and through them millions more across the globe. And he got jeered by the impatient. You'll get that. We live in the time of soundbytes. & translators. & interpreters. & thinktanks. & billionaire philanthropist pacifists with major stock in arms corps and undeclared interests in narcotic routes and the fine post-graduates who work for them spinning tissues of deceit and benovelance. read full story / add a comment
