Mike, clearly not a Spar in those days!!!  We could afford to shop there.
No go, with Spar and Mike at the moment....  we're living of bread and water.

Can you still pay by putting it on your company account? We'd go shopping and never needed to pay. Just put it on my mom or dad's account.

Sorry SHeena, I got carried away for a moment, it has been bothering me for using hard words.... if you are offended, I will indeed issue an apology and retract my harsh words, but on the other hand I know you quite well and remember your hard performances at the bowling club bar....hehehehehe!   dawoman

Don't worry Michael, we know you would never mean it nasty, but rather in a joking way, pity you can't provide tone of voice with the writing. Luckily Sheena is there and I'm sure you can talk yourself out of this.

We still have all Stephen's payslips from when we got married (1976) .  Spent something like R120.00 at the Shopping center and that included all dept. R7.50 at the butchers and R3.40 on veg.  I suppose it's all relevent to what you earned at the time but none the less interesting to read through.

I suppose it is all barcodes - the shopper does not know the price until the register shows the damage ??
