Is anyone on Orange and not using their code for today? Have two daughters up in town who would be happy to make use of it!


Reading the talk talk thread I thought that maybe instead of trying to bully people into using their dubious service they could instead try to entice people by doing something innovative like Orange.


Orange Wednesday is a excellent promotion, so much so that I actually feel a little guilty abusing it in this manner!! (Still, it's their own falt, no Orange reception where I live so I'm stuck with O2 for the time being.)

What did you have to do Sue? Hubby bought me an Orange mobile years ago, but it sits at the bottom of a bag as I don't know how to use it. Does the Orange Wednesday thing involve texting (which is alien to me)? And if I wanted someone else to benefit from my OW, would I be compromising anything (such as security - or whatever)?

All the instructions are on the Orange website - google Orange Wednesdays.


You do have to text, but it's easy - you just text FILM to 241. It costs 35p.


You are then sent a text message containing a code, which you give to the cinema.


The terms and conditions say "Text tickets are non-transferable" and "We will only accept original text tickets, unless acquired from mobile broadband onto a laptop or PDA."


I had written my code down but they asked to see the message on the phone, but don't know if that was because they couldn't read my writing :))


The T&C also say that tickets are issued on a priority basis to active Orange mobile customers spending over ?5 a month with Orange or Orange broadband. So sounds like you wouldn't be eligible anyway if you're not using your phone.

You are right - I wouldn't be eligible. Thank you so much for such a full reply Sue.


Weegee, I have this thing (which has been sitting at the bottom of my ruck-sack for years) which I do not know how to use. As far as I am concerned I (effectively) don't have a mobile. And as for the number, I haven't a clue! It should properly be in a museum...remind me to show you it when I see you next.

Ladymuck, if you really don't use a mobile and don't text, how do you contact people when you are out and about?


I resisted both for ages, and now I can't imagine how I did without them :)


I originally bought a mobile after my car broke down - by extraordinary great luck (it was in the country) I was quite near a phone box, but the next day I was off to Carphone Warehouse :))

Yep, but it's not enforced. I always just read the code out to the cashier.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
