    Do you have a Clubcard?

    No I don't. Here's why:

    1. Your card records, say, that you haven't bought toothpaste for a while. You get targeted ads for toothpaste, and for private health care and dentistry.

    2. The card contains an RFID chip. They know which parts of the shop you visit and how long you spend there.

    3. Your card records that you have bought kosher products. You get an email wishing you a happy Passover. In other words, they keep on file that you are a Jew.

    4. Your card records are sent to HMRC. If they show you spending an amount that seems excessive for the taxable income that you have declared, you will be investigated.

    5. The card records a level of alcohol purchases that is seen as being too high. Some medical treatment will not be available to you on the NHS.

          A not unreasonable statement and probably true.

          Ahh, the infamous "They", I'm pretty sure he doesnt mean these guys either. Starting to worry a little now.

                What nonsense, don`t you jsut love it when numpties make up rubbish to try to bring down a good solid company. In this case it`s capitalism at its best/worst (depending on your viewpoint) in the retail sector.

                I have a clubcard, didn`t bother with getting one for years (not something us blokes bother about). As soon as I called them about getting one they offered me the £26 worth of coupons they owed me from a few years back. I used internet shopping and they assigned me a club card but I never actually received the card.

                Now I use it all the time, every little helps and it`s one of the better schemes around.

                  I don't have a club card.

                  Some one warned me years ago by email that club cards cause cancer

                  I also helped save a young childs life by forwarding the message on to 253 friends
