in Cyprus Today – 23/1/2010

With Mal and I both having websites perhaps they will try to seize our assets in the UK, the caravan they are welcome to, providing they pay the £3,000 per anum ground rental!

There was a very nice article about David Carter.  The one article that did make me laugh was” ‘Check bills’ warning over shops con. ” A subject close to my heart as I have  been reminding people to do this for a long time. It has happened to me frequently and the Managers when questioned about the discrepancy, were always very annoyed.

The Chairman of the TRNC Consumers Association has claimed that supermarkets are conning customers. Hasan Yilmaz Isik says that prices on the shelves are often different to the charges being rung up at supermarket tills and many shoppers are being caught unaware. He said the problem had existed for a long time and urged shoppers to make sure they check their bills and challenge any irregularities. Mr Isik said his organisation has received a number of complaints about the practice. He accused the supermarket companies of ‘deliberate negligence’ and said that supermarkets caught charging a different price to that advertised were liable to be fined as much as 1,237tl.

You have been warned frequently by my, and now it is official, so please check your receipts.

In the afternoon I watched the only Premier league match that was on TV, Man U, who won 4-0, all Rooney goals.
