Do you know anyone with the same sized bottle on a boc account?

As always there is a way.
That's how I used to do it along with several other folk, then they started putting bar codes on, but they put them on the plastic collar, so swap the collar and jobs a good un, now they are checking numbers on bottles, mate that has swapped loads for years now says he cant beat the system, and he is the sort of person to thrive on a challenge like this. they say its to keep on top of the insurance checks on the bottles??
