Posted on 17/01/2018 17:18 by DavidKlyneI must live a sheltered life, it would never had crossed my mind to sell them on e-bay! I have just had a look and people are even selling the £5 off vouchers you get at the till. You learn something everyday.

If we have one of these, and most times will never get to use it, we just give it to the person who looks like they need it most when next in Tesco (nobody ever looks like they need it in M&S).
I remember once buying some last minute needs in Tesco near Portsmouth before catching a ferry and gave a £7 voucher to a young couple with a full trolley, mainly because they had been polite to us. They were from Poland and thought that I was trying to sell it to them. Took me ages to explain how it worked and that I didn't want money. Sometimes it's hard to even give them away.

Posted on 17/01/2018 14:41 by YertizI believe that Mrs MM went with him to work, when he was at Dinner to go, or whatever it was called, but never got paid, she just accompanied MM on his deliveries.
Nobody MADE her work, I believe? I seem to recall Malc stating that she can't work over here because of her foreign status.
I suppose she may have done some deliveries whilst MM sat in the car, I can't remember after all that has been written about his trials.
I'm sure he will be along at some stage to correct any errors

Yes, Yertiz, she used to help with the deliveries for dinner2go. She is permitted to work here, the only restriction on her visa is no recourse to public funds, meaning she can't claim benefits, so she has to live off my income unless she can get a job. However, that visa has expired, the new visa, if granted, will have the same restrictions and is likely to be a two and a half year visa.

Posted on 17/01/2018 16:07 by cariadonso why did you buy you current car if it wasn't economical, was it because the salesman told you it was a cheap car to run,

At the time when I bought my current car, I was working for dinner2go and the electric version wasn't available then. It wasn't until June the following year that they brought out the Smart Electric. Dinner2go can provide these cars themselves but charge rental to do so. So at the time I went by their recommendation, not realising that the job would come to an end 3 months later. It did save money compared to the Shogun as it used half the amount of fuel without wearing the clutch and other expensive repairs.

What's crazy about it, TW? Just think, this new car means I'll never have to buy petrol ever again! Think of how much money that will save over the next 10 years! In 10 years at £2500 per year, that's £25,000 saving, which is more saving than the value of the car! Now what's so pointless about that?

I've got £45 worth of Tesco points so far but there are still more points to come!
How will the new system affect you, will you have to spend more to get the same number of points .
