I pre-ordered the DVD for a tenner as an Xmas present for my son. They are now selling it for £9.99, hence the refund. Which I assume is costing rather more than 1p to process

I like that - an organisation that credits you exactly what it should.

On a similar note - I got given the wrong change in Halfords the other day, which I pointed out very politely and was told in no uncertain terms that I was wrong.

Of course, I was pointing out they had given me too much change, but the response was utter incredulity combined with irritation at having to ring up a different amount! Quite gratifying.

For your safety I dont think it was wise to create this thread. its not safe to let the world know that you have come into a vast fortune

I did something similar this summer, the only difference being that I was in the coffee shop in Salisbury Cathedral and on pointing out that I had received nearly £2 too much in change the very kind and sweet lady held my hand and blessed me.

LOL I wish! I'm 53 now - could do with early retirement!

Dear OP

This is not a begging letter. Last week my wife and kids were eaten by a stray lion. I was diagnosed with terminal flatulence. My dog was run over and my cat was squashed whilst grieving the for the dog. Duting all of this I lost all money in an RBS cash machine.

Please could you see way clear to lending me £0.01.

OP and wife will be heading for divorce - just like the other big winners

back in the day the 50:50 divorce was easy

Today it's winner takes all, plus legal expenses to the looser.

I won't - it's gone into my Ricoh GR fund
