do you think they can buy them cheaper from Tescos? so a £10 tescos voucher cost them £8

otherwise why don't they give a free £10 note on every clean

at least thier website is a little different from most of the others i see on here

Cant see Tesco giving anyone a discount on petrol, it is a good idea but the customers aint stupid, they know £10 of the carpet cleaning bill is going towards the petrol voucher  :-\

Its all psychological, even tho they are paying for it, some will think its something for nothing and go for it. Its human nature.

Incidentally, I'm selling my pencil sharpener if anyone's interested?

It's £140,000 but it comes with a free house :)

Even with falling property prices, 140 grand for a house sounds like a bargain.  What part of the country do you live in Jim?

Just about right in the middle.  I'm house hunting at the moment actually, 2-bed terraced victorian places in reasonable nick are being advertised at around 90-110k but dropping a little.  It's the 2 and 3 bed semis that are coming down in price, some 1950s and 1960s 3 bed semis are up for 110-130k and they look pretty good.

P.S the house is free, it's the pencil sharpener you're paying for :)
