Richard Madeley, or maybe the person who thought it was worth paying him to go on TV and talk out of his arse.

Can you tell I've just had the misfortune to see him this morning for a few seconds? Him and Piers Morgan would be joint winners in a, 'I love the sound of my own voice way too much,' contest.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
But still allows the user inference it’s nicked, but that might the impression modern youth are wanting to make.

How about if you paid for it online, with a click and collect option. You could* argue that the buying was complete when you did the bringing.

* If you really had absolutely nothing better to do with your time and were utterly desperate for something to do.

This is an internet forum, of COURSE we have nothing better to do with our time and are utterly desperate for something to do!

Here's something that really is annoying. Oxfam in their wisdom now have an unpleasant chemical scent sprayed in all their shops. This isn't merely an annoyance as it badly affects my breathing, having acquired otherwise mild asthma after a respiratory illness a few years back. More than 30 seconds I am pushing my luck for an asthma episode and it's a good half hour before I'm right afterwards. I have 30kg of books to donate but short of leaving them on the step and creating a scene by shouting for someone to fetch em, I'm a bit stuck. I had to practically run out when I took the last lot. Their likely losing a couple of hundred quid a year off me in purchases too
 
Any retail outlet that uses “say yes or no to charity donation” on their card terminal

It's the same with cats. Not only does the vapour from electronic air fresheners get into their lungs but they ingest it when they lick their fur.

I wouldn’t worry. If their ‘aid workers’ can afford to support prostitution in countries they are ‘helping’, they will probably not miss your support.
