slippy Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Scuze the french but That is absolutely ****ing rediculous. I might as well close for the day. All my insoles the full range of bama are priced on the back. My Zippo's are priced on the bottom because of the residue from the ticket marks the box. And all my wallets & purses are priced inside for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discodave Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 its illegal not to have the price on an item but it doesnt have to be facing the front. i think. you should ask to see the relevant law that they are trying to enforce then get the local newspaper to do a story on it you may as well make money out of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just send the nice man from trading standards down to your nearest "T" shop , no prices on ANY Laces or Sundries , or prices for Keys or Repairs , this should keep him busy for the forseeable future especially if he vists all the outlets nationwide.

Gray Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Its OK to say Timpsons Smmulti. This may be a bit of paranoia Jo but could someone have reported you for not displaying prices correctly. I would have thought trading standards had enough to do without faffing about with petty things like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely that you have been reported by some well meaning individual , more than likely seen as an easy target for some newly appointed public servant looking for Brownie points , high streets are full of muiltiple outlets now ,with big legal teams to fight for them, few independant retailers left in any trades .

Gray Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Same difference LOL Petty individuals with nothing better to do than prey on hard working independants. Probably a backhander involved somwhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
