Richard Branson and his team have solved the problem of the space time continuum that has been worrying me for ages and have some kind of time machine rigged up at the gym. Do any of the rowing machines have strange lights on them or make a tardis like noise when used?Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379877200876051274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-9421653759694444752009-07-13T10:27:17.799+01:002009-07-13T10:27:17.799+01:00I just started excercising my rights as a consumer...I just started excercising my rights as a consumer! Morrison's are being so arsey about people using their car park in Whitehaven that I have started ordering online from Asda instead. I don't see why I should shop in a place that looks like a filthy rummage sale, with narrow aisles blocked by wire baskets full of offers that catch my legs and not be allowed to leave the site to take a libary book back.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379877200876051274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-74798972057997347832009-07-13T10:14:19.822+01:002009-07-13T10:14:19.822+01:00Trousers - a gold plated water bottle at the very ...Trousers - a gold plated water bottle at the very least!<br /><br />Jay - with many organisations there are lots of great offers for new joiners - whilst long standing members or customers are being ripped off on a grand scale.

I've done the gym thing - we were me...Oh yeah. I've done the gym thing - we were members for years. Then we discovered several things:<br /><br />They keep producing offers which make their loyal members look like idiots for paying too much money - when we left about a year ago, we were paying £45 a month each, but new members were being enticed for much less - however, to prevent people from leaving and then immediately joining again with smaller fees, they had all kinds of safety nets built into the small print. <br /><br />It was also considerable cheaper if you DIDN'T pay by direct debit, which was sneaky and they didn't tell you, naturally.<br /><br />The 'join a friend' offers have always been crap. <br /><br />All the good classes were NOT included in the 'off-peak' membership option.<br /><br />And finally, it was actually cheaper to buy the equipment and instal it at home, where we do actually use it pretty much every day. LOL!<br /><br />That wasn't Branson's place, BTW.jayhttp://www.thedeppeffect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-6834069715440133712009-07-10T18:53:20.877+01:002009-07-10T18:53:20.877+01:00If it is Mr Branson that has come to view this sit...If it <i>is</i> Mr Branson that has come to view this site, now's your golden opportunity to ask for a water bottle.trousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879862280895772283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-36721708476600205422009-07-10T16:05:52.730+01:002009-07-10T16:05:52.730+01:00The thing with this one Karen is that the posters ...The thing with this one Karen is that the posters and leaflets never even appeared till the 29th June.

But you could actually get them to give you sthe stuff as they are still advertising it. Like if you buy something that displays the price tag of £10 and when it goes through the till it's £20, they can only charge you £10.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284082835424987769noreply@blogger.com
