I use it at Aldi, its very quick.
I dont like it as its taking people's jobs.
Also.........
1. Any alcohol needs a member of staff to clear it.
2. It doesn't recognise reduced/YS items so again you have to call a member of staff to ok it.

My Bro (the clever one) went to school with an Olympic swimmer by the name of Neil McKecknie (spelling??)

Morning all . I don’t think anyone famous went to my schools . 😀
Anyway it’s a very wet and grey day here in Coventry . Just back from taking my daughter to another interview ( fingers crossed ) and now thinking about lunch and another coffee.
Looks like my exciting day on rescue duty tomorrow is off . TBH I am sad but rather glad , the weather for the weekend is looking very windy and it can get a little risky if you end up with a lot of capsizes and boat breakages .
The commodore of our club ( Mrs Exlaser ) did ask me what I thought and I said we should still run the event , after which she asked around other committee members and promptly cancelled the event .I think that’s sort of sums up our relationship after nearly 36 years lol . 😀

Only famous person I know of from my school is Claire Moore who became a professional singer. She was a year before me. Starred in Lloyd-Webber's Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon. From Wikipedia "Claire Moore is an English soprano singer and actress, best known for her leading role as Christine in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera and as Ellen in Miss Saigon."

I've just looked up my old school, Ashmole in Southgate, and apart from Daniel Peacock who was a year below me, Amy Winehouse went there about 20 years after I left, and so did Rachel Stevens who was in SClub.
