The Daily PollIRELAND HAS A pretty high number of Mensa members per capita.
Mensans are not all well-paid high-flyers, in fact, some are unemployed, so your job and social standing don’t matter, only your IQ.
Membership of Mensa is open to people who have attained “a score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test”.
But, what do you think? Could you make it in? Would you be running the place in a week? What’s your own view of your IQ?
To test yourself, here’s a workout.
We’re asking: Could you make it in to Mensa?

And the horse that Sharbra rode in on was turned into beef burgers.
Quite a witty retort from Tesco to be fair.
I’ve got a fairy tale for you. “Once upon a time in “Tescodonia”, the company decided to plan a change to the terms and conditions of over 1,000 staff who have served the company before 1996, resulting in pay cuts and cuts to hours. Nobody lived happily ever after.”
@Stee Agreed, personally I won’t go near them again as long as they treat their employees like slaves from some sort of fairy tale.
Slaves ?
Brilliant well done Tesco!
At least he got a reply. I contacted Tesco (Bray) to ask why was Brennan Gluten Free bread 40c more expensive in their store that a close by corner shop. That was 6 weeks ago.
The inhumanity of it all, Peter.
I can imagine you’ve sent out a few letters in your time.
Yep.
You should prob get a life so.
Peter, maybe it was just on special offer at the corner shop?
Peter – did you contact them via email/letter or on social media?
These days, contacting corporate entities is best done on social media. No better way to get a response than to ask or make your complaint in public.
However, you need to have some justification in your complaint for it to be taken seriously, such as when you are charged more than advertised.
But asking why they are unable to match or beat every competitor on every one of 20,000 items on sale is just plain whining
Buy it in your corner shop! Support local traders! Jeez!
For all it’s faults, which are mainly higher prices, Tesco and it’s customer care are excellent as this article shows. The staff understand their customers and have in the main a shared cultural background which includes an appreciation of Irish humour. I recently emailed a rival German grocery chain which wasn’t Aldi ! and pointed out that their twenty euro off offer when you spend one hundred euro included Easter Sunday, yet all their shops were closed on this day. I returned on the Monday but was told the tills would not now accept the vouchers and so emailed their customer care. No problem they said we will refund you if you send in your shopping receipt for the monday which I didn’t have, because I went there specifically to avail of that offer. Sorry we can’t help you was the response. Sloppy marketing if you ask me advertising a service when you are clearly not open for business.
You get nothing free from anything associated with Germany !
So you had 6 whole other days to use your voucher but you chose one of the handful of days a year that they close?
‘see my vest’…. it’s really irrelevant which of the 8 whole days a customer may choose to shop as it was still within the terms and conditions offered…I happen to work 6 days a week, missed the first Sunday and so planned to shop the Easter Sunday when I assumed it would be quiet…Tesco happened to be open that day and I’d imagined a rival would be also.
Winston the vouchers expired I would have told you pi$$ off straight away, Monday is not Sunday you have no argument.
Of course it’s relevant, using your logic I can moan that I can’t use my vouchers at 2 am even though it says today on them!
See my vest…Closing on Easter Sunday is optional as I pointed out so if a store issues an offer for this day and know that they will be closed then they are falsely advertising their services and besides most reputable businesses would honour their vouchers for the sake of good customer relations… they have now lost my future custom.
I’d be glad to have
Is there more than sugar involved here
Every little helps
A lidl diddle.
Winston I work in tesco. The store I work in was open on easter Sunday. Also, I think the offer you speak of was a voucher that comes in newspapers. This is not a tesco voucher. It is a competitor voucher which tesco accept, therefore they have no say about the validity dates on these vouchers.
Agreed @sharon
Brilliant story!!! Nice one tesco
No wonder they’re hemorrhaging billions when their store managers have the time to engage in such time consuming trivialities.
have your say
