A co-worker goes shopping, the items rung up by a cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My co worker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for £20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK!

My co-worker called the store who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for a bank and her niece told her, "This is a new scam going on. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is in the same queue.

Please, check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!

This is NOT limited to any particular store.

My friend added this ... My husband and I were in Sainsburys and paying with credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card signer he just happen to notice there was a £20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she cancelled it. We really didn't think anything of it until we read this email.

I wonder how many "seniors" have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????

To make matters worse ...THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!

BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT........CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!!!!

I've made a novelty cake, folded the napkins into pointy hat shapes. Provided a bottle of Thunderbird and Ritz crackers and a pkt of three in the bathroom (didn't know what soap he preferred so I left a choice (?) I've even arranged for an under 11 soccer team to have a kick about in the garden for his entertainment.

Looking for something new to play, but not sure what.

Only I've heard a lot of criticisms about the control system. Should I ignore the criticism?

Anything to do with the holiday season or the new influx?

An Irishman goes to the Doctor with botty problems....

"Dactor, it's me bum. I'd loik ya ta teyhk a look, if ya woot".

So the doctor gets him to drop his pants and takes a look.

"Incredible"he says, "there is a £20 note lodged up here."

Tentatively he eases the twenty out of the man's bottom, and then a £10 pound note appears.

"This is amazing!"exclaims the Doctor. ''What do you want me to do?"

"Well fur gadness sake teyhk it out, man!"shrieks the patient.

The doctor pulls out the tenner and another twenty appears, and another and another and another, etc....

Finally the last note comes out and no more appear.

"Ah Dactor, tank ya koindly, dat's moch batter. Just out of interest, how moch was in dare den?"

The Doctor counts the pile of cash and says "£1,990 exactly."

"Ah, dat'd be roit,'' says the Irishman

I knew I wasn't feeling two grand.."

Stevie Wonder is playing his 1st gig in China and the place is packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice he asks if anyone has a request. One chap jumps out of his seat in the 1st row and shouts at the top of his voice "Play a jazz chord ! Play a jazz chord!"

Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in Stevie's career, the blind impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes. When he finishes the whole place goes wild. The chap jumps out of his seat again and shouts - "No, no, play a jazz chord, play a jazz chord...".

A bit cheesed off by this, Stevie, being the professional he is, dives

straight in to a jazz improvisation with his band around the B flat

minor chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd go ballistic

with this impromptu show of his musical expertise. But, still the little Chinese man jumps up again and shouts "No, no. Play a jazz chord,

play a jazz chord!!!".Stevie is really pissed off now that this chap doesn't seem to appreciate his playing ability and shouts to him from the stage - " OK smart a*s, you get up here and do it"..

The little bloke climbs onto the stage, takes hold of the mike and

starts to sing............

"a jazz chord to say , I ruv you..."

"Can I have some Irish sausages, please?" asked the Irishman, walking up to the counter. The assistant looked at him and asked "Are you Irish?" "If I had asked you for Italian sausage, would you me if I was Italian?" demanded the Irishman indignantly. "Or, if I asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Then, warming to his theme, he went on: "Or if I asked you for a Kosher

hot dog, would you ask me if I was Jewish? "Or, if I asked you for a taco, would you ask me if I was Mexican Would Ya? Would Ya?"

The assistant said: "Well no".

Suitably encouraged by the success of his logic, the Irishman steps it

up a gear.

"And if I asked you for frogs legs, would you ask me if I was French"?

"What about Danish Bacon, would you ask me if I was Danish?"

"Well no, I probably wouldn't," conceded the assistant.

So, now bursting with righteous indignation, the Irishman says, "Well,

all right then, why did you ask me if I'm Irish just because I asked for Irish sausages?"

The assistant replied: "Because you're in f***ing Homebase"

Looks like he went to great lengths to obtain them too. All's gone quiet from 'over the pond'

Has he gone over the border to do battle with the Southern Plunger?

I know the answer is to have a new worktop fitted, but it's too expensive and money is short at the moment. Any suggestions other than sticky back plastic would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

... when you ask your fella to eat his words?

I've finished the decorating that he said "didn't need doing" Now he's having to admit I "was right" What should I get him to do to compensate me for his wrong decision and unkind words?

Yesterday we had an argument over decorating the bedroom. I argued for it, he argued against it. After spending all day painting, the room looks lovely. What should I do to get him to eat his words?

Several times I attempt to answer a question that scrolls on to show it's 'been deleted' At times it says Y!A is currently unavailable but then opens up the 'answer' page.

only to find that my Anti-Virus software has picked up the same virus trying to penetrate my system. Any one else having problems today?

I can't help but wonder if the advertising on the page has something to do with it. Has anybody purchased one of those 100 classic books?

Doe's it work on the X-box 360 playing 2 player co-op via a system link? Is it a full campaign or just a mini game? Doe's it play well compared to Army of Two?

Made some Scottish Haddock fishcakes earlier but at a loss what to have to accompany them... Any suggestions welcome!

Does this happen to anybody else? Why do you think it is so?
