    Oh my dear mad - how good it is to see you getting all the attention you so richly deserve. I tried to view your posts on PTS but alas I was too late! Your name appears to have been deleted from the members list and your posts appear to have been removed. My search was in vain - all I could find were the posts that alluded to the chaos you had caused this weekend over on PTS. Welcome back to MSE where you are loved and appreciated.

    I am quite happy to flip back and forth beween here and the PTS site - and, if I'm honest, I reckon the pTS people are generally friendlier than many of the people on here ! I continue to use both because I like the variety and can usually ignore any posts which I reckon are unnecessrily !!!!!y, judgemental or just plain nasty (usually found on here but, just occasionally on PTS).

    I fail to understand why a hard core of people who 'live' on here are being so snidey about what happened last night on PTS. You only went on PTS cos MSE was off the air, people openly infringed PTS rules, ignored advice and then started critisising PTS responses. You only visited PTS because you didn't have a playground on here. Nobody twisted your arms, nobody forced you to visit PTS and if you did visit and then didn't like what you found then you were at liberty to go away (five consonants and two vowels , feel free to make your own choice of letters , springs to mind). .

    I'm not saying either site is best or that either site is without fault, I just reckon its unfair and impolite to start slagging off another site just cos the mods won't let you do as you please. A fair number of people seem to manage membership of both groups without running into trouble.

    Decided to go for a day trip to 2 Mr T's today,(40 miles but thought it would be worth it with all mocs I had) gleefully clutching my £3 airiwck amongst others. I went last week as a trial and used my coupons no probs, went today and 1st one (will name and shame BARNSLEY) said only 10% of shop, but did let me use nearly £8 off £20 after her not realising how much one was for when I said can you just put this little one through as well (it was actually the £3 airwick ;)) Second one (WATH ON DEARNE, ROTHERHAM) said 10% of shop and no internet ones unless you buy the product and you can't use the ok one cos you haven't bought the magazine and it says £1.50 of the magazine :rolleyes: No joy with e mail, (our store policy). Evenutally was allowed to use 2 x 50p post ones :eek: Bought some fairy, but said can't use coupon unless you buy the dishwasher stuff :mad: Didn't even bother to try in the second shop.
    Got my own back though, cos bought some velvet for £4.50 and used mocs for that, so when I went past the 1st T's again after rejection at 2nd one went to customer service and said I want to bring this back cos my OH has also got some, so got money back for them, so really used mocs for most of my shopping but in a roundabout way :T More than one way to get round the sour Trouts.:rotfl:
    Rambling a bit I know but that what it makes you do, all this rejection!!!
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    I stand by my comment that on PTS every other post is by a mod, I'm too old for school and old enough to have my own opinion.

    I would like to know how mad gets some much personal attention on PTS:confused: I joined on saturday and tried to post on the coupon swap thread (ought to have one here) and it wouldn't let me, sent a pm to mod and am still waiting for a reply as why I couldn't post :mad: Not a e buyer or postie thief, but have got quite a few cravendale milk and wanted to swap for others ;)

    Im sure PTS is full of friendly people although I do believe in freedom of speech and it seems if you disagree with the MODS or cause controversy you get post removed and banned. Luckily this site is different or your hilarious "five consonants" wording would have no doubt been quickly pulled on PTS. So go away to you too ( five consonants and two vowels)
