Are they the one's that go to the fridge, take out the can/bottle, open it and present it before you while you lay on the sofa watching footie? 

If so, I'd love one of those - the wife stopped doing it and the dog just doesn't get male bonding (or the fac the's a bow wow), the lazy bastard!

Spar you say?

yeah 100 tokens (1 when you spend a tenner, but a nod and a wink always gets you a few more) and 40 bob seals the deal. Its not a beer fetcher (more a F1 replica) but Im sure you could make a track out of slippers and towels leading to the fridge so could be a go-er!
Ended up practically doing my weeks shoppin in the place (dont even have trolleys there!Angry) trying to rack up the tokens so probably would have been cheaper just to but one outright!
The look of shock on the girls face when I whipped out the token collecton book filled up and starting jumping and pointing at the shelf behind the till. Took about 30 mins to get it outta of the place cause I think thats the only one they atually managed to get rid of in the shop (or whole of ireland allegedly) so didnt have barcode or anything.  Not many hardcore (or sad) blokes out there who would bother saving up these stamps but brought back memories of the pannini days (anyone for swops?)Smile
