How do you get 60k worth of goods in 11 visits? And a £400 fine. That’s lucrative and seemingly attractive.

I’d like to have pity for the corps but f them. My appeal to play fair is getting low, esp to a store selling overpriced makeup and tat. Actual chemists will still survive fine.

    And a £400 fine.

    I believe that is what corporations call a tax on doing legitimate business. Never stopped them from doing illegal things. But they do like to complain when others do it to them.

    Yup. All i can hear is gluttony and vanity....I am making myself sound self righteous to the point of religious. Whats worse buying £25 mascaras or me. The world pisses me off at times.

    Maybe i need to buy myself something pretty from a shoplifter. 😍

    Boots Ireland report record revenues of €580.76m 10/06/25.

    How they're doing it 19/02/24 sorry for the Telegraph... They continued to mess with pensions.

    Good for him.
