My car just sits there, on the drive. I cannot drive him because my

What about Dial-a-Ride? Seems to be ideally suited for people in your

It's a good idea. Currently I am forcing my sister in law who lives not
much than a mile away, to take me shopping once a week.
She finds that, rather than shopping on her own, she loves doing it with
me.
We went today, we spent too much time on getting bargains - she has no
idea how to get bargains and my poor brother had to pick up his youngest
child from a party that she should have done because we were Just Too Late
For That;-)

It sounds as though you're doing your sister in law as much of a favor as
she's doing you. Maybe in the process you can teach her how to get
bargains.

She does not even look at what she spends.
we were both overcharged today, I am alert for this
we got back the overspend was refunded and
£2 voucher each.
Always examine your supermarket receipt.

Isn't that great? Sometimes it takes emergency conditions to get people
to be willing to depend on each other. And then they discover to their
surprise that they *enjoy* it. Modern life makes it all too easy for
people to do everything for themselves and *by* themselves (what you would
call "on their own"). Not that I'm any different - I do almost everything
alone and it does get, well, lonely. (I would be a lot more lonely if I
didn't have a purring Roxy curled up in my arms, though.)

how to get bargains and my poor brother had to pick up his youngest child

Oh, poooooor guy.

At the supermarkets where I shop, the price of each item is visible as it is
rung up.

Oh, honey...don't rattle my cage bars on *that*. The register readout
is *always*
facing the grocery *employee*, NOT the customer. Yeah, it's visible,
but not
to us.

It's interesting to read about different methods used in different areas.
All of the grocery stores where I have shopped for a number of years have
the registers mounted at an angle so they can easily be read by both the
employee and the customer.

And the ones that have self-checkout lanes, the price is visible to
the shopper only.

In most shops here, they are double-sided, so that the cashier sees the
one screen and the other faces the customer.

On ours, I think there is a readout on the register, but there is also a
separate little LED box with the numbers, about an inch high, visible to the
customer.

Here we even have a screen just for the customer, where a picture of the
item just scanned in appears. There's even a running total so you can
leave the luxuries till last if you don't want to go over your budget.

That;s what we mostly get over here in big supermarkets although some
shops still have a till with a single display that appears on both the
cashier and the customers side. One odd one is my local Co-Op, on the
customers side there is an 8 inch plasma screen, which when the till
is not in use runs adverts and details of special offers etc. When
the till gets used, each item and price flashes up as they get scanned
by the cashier but at the end the cashier tells you what the total is
as the total doesn't appear until the cashier presses the payment
option, which is a bit of an annoyance.
