I always get one. Couple of reasons one being I tend to shop bagful at a time calling in on the way back from a walk or the gym and prefer to have a receipt should I ever get stopped (not happened so far but..)

The other reason is I use Google rewards and they sometimes offer a free coppers to spy on me and where I've shopped  by uploading a snap of the receipt.

I just make sure the central heating is performing up to scratch. If it struggled I'd go to bed. Can't expect to be in t shirt and shorts this time of year so something nice and warm helps.

My son recommended some Regatta walking trousers as being nice and warm as well as wind and waterproof (don't go there Dex). With us down to low single digits I've been wearing them when I go out. I haven't been changing out of them when I get back either. The swannacles may need keeping aerated in summer but they need cosy in winter. Last place a bloke wants frostbite.

Our Co-op never gives you a receipt, it annoys me and I'll ask for one, just to upset their grumpy cashier. Tesco always gives me one. Both in Thurso and Wick.

Unless it's to get your money back my advice would be to steer clear. It is to get you money back all the very best of luck.

This usually does for me.

I bet there are special tools to undo them too...

Advice from a manager l.

My Grocery order came,  so been packing that all away,  but other than that, I have been on this computer most of the morning trying to find a certain elusive builder who keeps changing his mobile number . . . .

I have a fur electric throw..  A bit like something out of Doctor Zhivago..
It does the job a treat..

I believe Octopus were giving those away to certain pensioners the last couple of winters,  but not sure how it works.

When I sit down at this time of year, I often put a throw,  or a dogs blanket,  over my knees,  I often  find that warm and comforting.

Make Christmas more fun by sending cards to your neighbours with offensive messages like, "To the prick with the noisy motorbike, have an absolutely shit Christmas" then sign it from another neighbour that you don't like....
Spread the cheer. 🤣🤣

Hah,   brilliant.
