A full re-weigh of her produce revealed she had been overcharged by more than £5 at the store on Jersey. ‘It was resolved instantly,’ said Jim Hopley, chief executive of Channel Islands Co-operative, adding the cashier was ‘mortified’ by the incident.

11. So titting the scales is fixed by the push up chair?
