went in blacks today,

saw the new Light my Fire Fire steel 2.0 Scout, it said £3.99 on the tag?!?!?

so i took one to the counter and dropped 4 nuggets into the young lads hand,..

but he asked for another 4,....?

i duely led him to the shelf where someone had staked the boxes on the shelf for the Maya Dust,(which is 4 quid)

it was my mistake really but he apologised, took the 4 quid and gave me the steel,..

wish i'd have took a dozen to the tills now,...

Great catch there, I love it when shops dont check the shelve price,

i nearly walked away, (rather than pay the full whack), but he just mumbled,..."well i HAVE to give it you at that price now", while staring at the floor,..

hahahah i had the tiniest twinge of gulit before the smile crept on my face,....

Ha, i never feel guilty about the loss of a small profit from a large chain, as long as its legal,

bet the poor chap who put them up there has a bit of over time to do to make up for it,

Apparently even if it's advertised at that price shops don't have to honour it!
Makes that catch all the sweeter!

Update on the Scout 2.0,...

the striker is not too great,...it does the job, but the steel is always close to a shiney of some sort or another so its just, redundant really.

but!.

i opened a box with it last night and even with no edge it still gave me an idea,..

i put an edge on it and stuck it on my keys,..

makes a nice little cutting edge and has a whistle too,.

i just need to sleeve the edge in some way,. or it may be a problem in the "pocket enviroment"

just realised this isnt the pic on the edge but you get the idea,..

That is quite true.
