pft. Try being green and saving on carrier bags using those bastard self-service machines "unexpected item in packing bay" *skip bagging* "please place item in the bag" *skip bagging* "unexpected item in packing bay" *SKIP BAGGING* "please call for assistance" ARGH!

Also, they should be mutable. And not the only way to pay after 2am in my local 24hr Asda

Plod hopes Bluetooth messages will stem drinking

This does rely on people having bluetooth turned on, which if it is, after being told the first time on a night out will be promptly switched off. Hardly going to get through to the target audience this way.

Generally, people don't. why bother ... unless your pissed and wanna send pr0n... oh....

Aside: Is marginally better than email spamming ... possibly... wait. no. Vision Express and Cineworld spam bluetooth crap (videos and pictures) when you're in range 'round here. Is f'cking annoying.

hmmm....

Just be wary of the product terms and conditions page, which states in section 1:

"If, by mistake, we have under-priced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we dispatch the item concerned"
