The item i bought never goes to sale and Bureau rarely do discounts. I don't see where you're coming from at all. Like Robii says, it's normal in retail and i don't go cap in hand to every shop i visit. If i am going to spend a lot of money it's natural and EVERY shop will expect any shopper to ask for discount.

And i have probably spent too much time in Asia

I was being sarcastic

I don't like being called a fucking pikey, that's why.
I have no problem doing what i do. I just can't believe other people don't do it. It's expected.

You should speak to people on the internet the way you do in person. I don't see why being insulted on the web is different to any other way?
I made a comment about emailing a shop. If you disagree fine, just don't make daft comments.

It's ok to make your secret buys, lapping up discounts over the web but asking personally isn't any different?
A lot of people come here to get discounts, i just go the extra mile and i have no problem doing it. Always have, always will. Saves me thousands a year the amount i blow on clobber.

we're not laughing at the yellow coat, we're laughing at you

You got an NUS code…
