Have you ever had a bad or awkward shopping experience?
Peter Oosthoek retired near Chartwell Shopping Centre for a one-stop shop for all his needs - but now he can’t go there.
The 66-year-old seeing impaired pensioner was trespassed while doing his fortnightly shopping at Woolworths on July 16.

Poll: Do you think fining illegal dumpers will help reduce rubbish?
A crackdown on Hamilton rubbish dumpers may be paying off after the city council more than quadrupled the number of infringement notices it issues annually.
The council trialled notices with a “don’t be a tosser” message a couple of years ago, in an attempt to prick people’s consciences, but they weren’t successful, so it has gone the other way and started taking a tougher line.
Do you think this will help stop illegal dumpers? Let us know your reason in the comments. (Please add NFP if you don't want your comments used in print.)
