    Nice. You don't give a toss.

    Why the defense?

    Got a personal motive we should all know about?

    Thought so......


    ahhh right, ok so anyone with an opposing view to one of yours automatically is associated with this website, or any other of the parties involved in this deal?

    Well, I can tell you this; that last statement of yours was about as way off the mark as you have been on the entire subject, and looking at some of the rubbish you've spouted that is one hell of an achievement.

    Well done :T

    couldnt give a toss if the owners of this site made a few quid off this deal, as it has been mentioned many times over the last 24 hours, everyone that ordered their shades will get them at the price they were advertised. So why the witch hunt?

    Yes-but, if members went through quidco they would have got £5 cashback. I should imagine that a vast amount of people would have not realised this. Therefore a lot of members would not have got the best deal, they lost out on £5, whilst supposing MSE would be the place to get the best deals?

    Surely MSE are aware members lose £5 cashback each time they use a MSE affiliate link and are not therefore being savvy shoppers?

    fair point, the user should have at least given the choice how they access the link.

    Think MSE are sometimes a little too quick to push these deals without fully establishing the facts.
    I remember one a couple of months ago where the weekly post said Lidl or Aldi were selling IKEA meatballs which wasn't true. They were similar swedish meatballs, but certainley not IKEA ones.

    Martin Lewis is many things, clairvoyant is not one of them as far as I'm aware.

    Ahhhh right


    I suggest you read your own posts back.

    Whilst your at it you might want to ask Martin if he has emailed everybody that clicked on his email to inform them what a disaster MSEs' promotion has been.

    I say MSEs' promotion because that is what it is. MSEs' promotion, MSEs' Offer, MSEs' deal, MSEs' slice of the pie.

    Do read the other thread & see how happy everyone is with this fantastic deal.

    And they are just the small few who bother to post on here.

    Most don't & won't even realise that they were paying for a voucher worth less than its face value.

    I don't think you would know a mark if you made your own cross.

    & whilst we are on the subject, it is not a witch hunt.

    Your a prize tool. I think the reason for splitting the threads was to seperate the grown ups and the trolls. Well done, you found your home.

    I suppose you just set your autopilot....


    Actually, I believe the idea was to bury the criticism of MSE..


    Thanks for your concern...

    Do read the other thread & see how happy everyone is with this fantastic deal. I can understand people's frustrations, but they have been given the opportunity to cancel their order, or accept their order at the original price, so in the grand scheme of things the end result is the expected one from the outset, or their money back.

    And they are just the small few who bother to post on here. You've bored the rest of the posters senseless with your inane ramblings that's why there is so few posting, and you've certainly bored the crap outta me so I wont be wasting my time with you after this reply becasue you obviously have difficulty understanding things.

    Most don't & won't even realise that they were paying for a voucher worth less than its face value. How do you figure that out, £17.50 was, and still is less than £50 last time I looked. Include the additional postage fee and if I'm not mistaken that is still less than £50. A £17.50 voucher that is worth less than face value would have given you a discount of, maybe £17.49 or less at the checkout.

    I don't think you would know a mark if you made your own cross.
