For about a month now, my PC has been telling me that my ink has run out. Well, funnily enough, it's still printing fine.
I may go and buy new ones, however, as a new off from Young's has just appeared offering a free pint per voucher. The small print does not give limits as to how many vouchers an individual can redeem - it only says "one pint (or Gin & Tonic) per person per voucher.
Sooooo...
If I print off, say, 100, I can get nicely hammered for a few days and pay for new ink cartridges out of the savings.

My HP laser has been telling me to replace the toner sine before Xmas - still just about going.
Not sure how many vouchers I will be able to print though.
-
After a swift 8 pints and 2 G&T's, I went home. Total cost = ?0 (apart from 4 sheets of A4 and the residual cartridge ink).
This offer lasts until 4th October - I wonder how long we will be able to get away with the freebies! cloud9:
The entire public bar was hanging drunk by the time I left and only a few poor sods had to hand over cash. God, I love the idiots in Young's Marketing department.

Heads will roll razz:

Indeed. And only 1 hour and 25 minutes until the pub opens again...I have printed 20 more vouchers...

I can't believe that they keep doing this. Still, make hay while the sun shines, hope the toner lasts out.
I have also got vouchers from the Crown & Anchor in Chichester.
-
I have given out several vouchers to the pub pensioners. Seems to have cheered them up!

Have you run out of toner?

Not a Youngs pub, not my local.

This is now getting silly. The entire pub is full of pissed people who have spent NOTHING. This promotion is meant to carry on until 4th October. Can this really last that long?
I shall print 100 vouchers tonight - and even then it might not be enough.
Utter, utter madness.
-
And the madness continues.
Estimated savings to date ?150. Corking.

We've been rumbled. Boo!

Have they run out of cask ale and Bombay Sapphire gin until after October the 4th whistle:

Nope - they have plenty. It appears that the area manager has the hump because 297 vouchers with my name on them have gone over the bar in 5 days...
-
Oh no ....barred from the bar eeek:

Misprint ~ all vouchers void ;)

After a recount, it was actually 303 vouchers. Fine effort, I think.

I reckon that between us, we must have saved about ?2,000. All this money will doubtlessly go into the local economy so in a way we have helped to kickstart a bit more cash in the tills.

This is also a much better option for the care in the community campaign and also for those of us with no incomes.
I found it very stimulating.
