After the data input cards had been 'punched' with all those hundreds of little rectangular holes , they had to be sorted...bully operated the ' sorter' ( once again a big machine) and even today I can hear the noise of the whole room..cards being punched, click click click...cards sorted and then tabulated...and the computer tapes whirring...dare I mention the fact that after that job went up the swannee( when computers got smaller and needed less peeps circa 1961) I worked for the police and actually sent and received messages via police boxes ( think TARDIS)...now all that was before the police had 2 way radios let alone mobile phones....ahh the good old days !!!
Apols for digressing from internet coupons peeps...got a bit carried away with reminiscing..
Thanks for the latest couponnnet post m4rtin, but can't get onto it at the mo ...reckon everyone and their brother is downloading them right now.!!!0 -
Thanks for all your replies - I've already cut down the amount I spend on each shop and go in probably 4 times a week from once a week (or even every other sometimes). I always make a point of 'popping in' if I fill the cars up - I've got 2 x 5p offs to use by Friday so I will HAVE to go in again. I will probably do it in 2 trips on different days and bump up my shops that way this week. Good news, I managed to get another £4.99 Purina Dog coupon this morning on my father-in-laws account - fantastic.
where do u get this coupon from please

Blamed it on the damp paper that had been delivered, truth was Mad spilt his can of coke over the electrics:rotfl:
