The self-service at my local Lidl now has an exit barrier and you have to scan your receipt to get out!

My nearest Sainsbury’s did this but they seem to have tired of it and now just leave the gate open.

Tesco’s have locked all spirits away in glass-fronted cabinets and I assume all these things are implemented to combat shoplifting. Ironically it’s probably easier to shoplift where there are self-service tills. Serves the greedy corporates right, I guess.

I'm not sure that he's the one that's attacking oil tankers and blowing-up refineries.

What exactly did he think was going to happen as a result of his actions? A peaceful transition into democracy and tea and crumpets before bedtime? There's a reason nobody has done this before now.

I put diesel in my car last week... but only after it bleated "5 miles left" Laughing Normally I only stick £20 in but for some reason my subconscious said "£30 is also a nice round number". Trust your gut instinct!
