Was just going to mention Trevor Baylis:T Still alive, as well, so DD could maybe try and contact him by email for some quotes? That would be cool:cool:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Baylis
Solar powered fridge for vaccinations in Africa
Trevor also has a great anecdote about Percy Shaw the Cat's-Eyes inventor. Percy got the idea when he was driving home one night and his headlights lit up a cat on a wall, and were reflected back from its eyes. Trevor said (tongue-in-cheek), "Percy Shaw was just lucky - if the cat had been facing the other way, he would have invented the pencil sharpener.":rotfl:'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

Designed amongst other things the iMac (transformed product design), the iPod (changed the music industry), the iPad and the iPhone (changed mobile communications, basically every smartphone looks and works like it does because of him). Quite unassuming about his achievements, as well.'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

So I looked on HUKD and found 2 x £15 off £60 spend codes for new customers. Tried the first one...nothing. Tried the second one...bingo! It got accepted. £15 off £60 codes can be found here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=67020829&postcount=600
Just collected another 16 bottles of wine, for £36.34, so thanks OPs:TJelly_Biactol wrote: »Thanks, One of those codes worked for me too
But I'm now running out of places to store all the bottles - not sure that wine on top of the bathroom cabinet creates the right impression for visitors:) - so I'm browsing on fleabay for a wine rack

what do you think? I might need the Elite's help in keeping it stocked up, though:D'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

From my instore Asda shop today, malteasers, milkyway magic stars and M&M's Peanuts tubes were £1 each and 3 for £2 in store and on my receipt but checking the APG no multi buy was shown and they compared to Tesco who also had them 3 for £2 so 3 tubes for 80p after APG I think?
Just checked Mysupermarket and Malteasers are on there 3 for £2 so don't buy more than 2 of them. Magic stars and MM's are also on there as 3 for £2 but OOS so probably won't work for long.
Remember to check that they are on offer in your Asda before you buy.
