47627 and 11382 Worksop and Mansfield Co-Ops but I can't remember which was which.I think every person of a certain age had divvy numbers engrved on thir minds.They used to give you a little reciept wth how much you'd spent and how much divvy you'd earned on it.

I don't remember Harrod's having a number........

[EDDIE51]

Loads of people used to say '' I use the' Spastics' number '' so the divi went to charity.
Another sign of the times as you can't even say the'S' word now

Never had one but my mother's number was 1510

I could remember for years after it ceased to be valid, but not now. Well not without hypnosis to drag it out anyway.

[Baldric]

Haven't thought about it for years, but as soon as I read the OP it was there straight away, probably not seen/needed it for 50 years.

[jennyjoan]

yes - 78058 was ours

Don't remember mum's but use gran's as my iPhone code number.

[whirlyhurly]

Oh yes Dave, the good old days, my mum's divvy number was 126335 (North West).

Had to use it several times during a shopping trip - in the grocers, the greengrocers, the butchers and the bakers, all separate Co-op shops nearly next to each other.
Not sure if it could be used at the funeral parlour :D

30724 was my Mum's number......recited it all the way to the shops...

Used my Co-op card when paying for MrG's funeral.....when I was spending the vouchers the chap behind me commented on how much shopping I must do to collect so many vouchers....☺

[hc4361]

FAb, gness. Wonder when Tesco will start doing funerals.

[gness]

I'm surprised they don't, Hc....it's a pretty certain market......☺

A few people expressed surprise that I used my loyalty card for the funeral.... MrG would have been furious if I hadn't...x
