The travelling fair comes to Hearsall Common most bank holiday weekends and this weekend was no exception. Unlike the amazing 50p fair from about a year ago, the rides were a bit more expensive at around £2 each. We only went on a couple of rides: the dodgems and the rapids. Neither of us had seen a rapids ride on a travelling fair before. Thankfully we didn't get as wet as we did at Thorpe Park but I did get splashed on the back of my trousers so I was wet on the walk home.
I didn't realise you needed to be over 16 to buy either prawns or the Mail on Sunday. Sainsbury's seems to think so.

It's definitely the Mail on Sunday. We bought it again today and it had the same confirmation. We bought alcohol and it had the 'over 18' confirmation above that as well.

I work at Sainsburys and when a newspaper such as the mail or the times comes through my till a prompt comes up on the screen asking us whether or not the person is over 16, it does the same for alcohol (18) and cigarettes (16), we have no control over the system. As for the prawns they went through before the prompt would have appeared on the screen, I think thats just a bit pedantic really!

I work for sainsburys. They do that incase there is an age restricted product with the paper, like a dvd.Some other papers do that aswell, it's really annoying to have the prompts on the screen all the time!
