    For fuck's sake! I'm struggling to spend my £1k voucher thanks to their stupid restrictions. I've got £810 on the S2l, but want to make the most of the rest of it.

    Apparently, puncture proof tyres (Marathon Plus) are a non-essential item, and so aren't allowed under their Ride2Work scheme. I'd also consider glasses to be an essential piece of safety equipment, certainly more than trouser clips.

    Would they be as arsey in store or will a friendly clerk just scan it all in?
