Trading standards?


Recommended Posts

just had a visit from our local trading standards officer (first visit in 25 years)got into trouble for having my prices on the back of all my items?

you know what i mean price on the back of laces packet

dumpy jars upside down price on cap(unseen)

Legally they have to be on the front in plain veiw?

Go and do a REAL ****ing job catch the fraudsters/pirates/copy merchants out there leave me alone! :-#

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. ](*,)

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.

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.

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 .
