A man has vowed to 'never shop at Home Bargains again' after he was fined £100 shortly after spending £317 in store. The shopper was left furious when he was hit with the hefty £100 fine for spending 'too long' in store, and has now warned others to be careful when out shopping at Home Bargains.
Andrew Bradley went on a shopping trip to Home Bargains with his wife Amey shortly before Christmas 2022. The pair headed to their local Home Bargains store in Stanley, County Durham to buy Christmas presents on December 21, in what they thought would be a simple trip.
The couple spent a whopping £317 in Home Bargains, and were frustrated when they found themselves in a lengthy pre-Christmas queue. But the pair were caught short by parking wardens after spending around two hours shopping, and were given a £100 fine for out-staying the car park’s 90- minute maximum time limit - despite having been made to wait in the lengthy queue.

Andrew said adamantly: "I will never go back to Home Bargains after this." A Parking Charge Notice sent to Andrew’s home in Tow Law, County Durham, said he had been parked at the store for two hours and two minutes.The former Home Bargains shopper

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic As a critic, I’m always looking for a fresh challenge, which is one reason I took up writing about theater: It still has the capacity to scare me. I’ve reviewed nearly 1,700 movies in my time at Variety, but how to weigh in with authority on stage productions of William Shakespeare or Samuel Beckett when I haven’t seen most of their work performed, but know it only by reputation? Last year, I was nervous going in to a fresh revival of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” at Los Angeles’ Geffen Playhouse, as I had only the Mike Nichols movie as a reference point. How to judge Calista Flockhart’s performance, and what might I compare it to, not having seen Uta Hagen play Martha on Broadway? (I did manage to track down a vinyl recording of that show, but still…
