Went into the new store in Buckingham today to buy some dog treats, shampoo, and also some fish. I was told that I needed to answer some basic questions re the fish. I thought ok the normal stuff my local pet shop asks....size of tank(stop overcrowding),what fish I have(aggressive/non aggressive),how long I have had it (cycled/not cycled) etc etc.. No! it was Name, Date of Birth, Address, Phone number...... when asked why The member of staff said all customers must give their details for any purchase but refused to say what they would do with my details. Since when did the laws change that everything you buy has to be tracked and monitored in the UK. So glad I served in the military and Police for the protection of our freedom so that I can be monitored buying fish and dog treats..
