Till receipts from the third aisle

I've been meaning to start a collection of these for ages. Sounds daft but I can't help noticing when the abbreviations the supermarkets use to fit the descriptions on the till roll are amusing.

At the moment, I've just inserted the text from the receipts. If I get time (hah). I'll scan them in and put the scanned images here as well.

If you fail to see what's funny in these then go somewhere else.

Traditional

We are so used to receipts we can make some sense of, I now find it amusing when presented with an old fashioned receipt such as:
        06-11-96

        2 *20.00
          *20.00CA

          10-04
        000-0971
Goodness only knows what I bought but it obviously involved the number 'twenty'.
