sorry to hijack, does anyone have any spare Times Mastheads from May 18th? I have some Times newspaper vouchers if they're the right dates.

You are absolutely right it does LOOK rude!
I don't, however, think Dr WW meant it to be rude.
It DID LOOK that way, but unfortunately, there isn't a "tongue in cheek" smilie.
What, I am sure was meant jokingly, doesn't come across in the harsh written word.
Re-read it as friendly banter from folk that are used to being on a different thread together, and I think you'll understand.:beer:

I wasn't 100% but I didn't want MM5 to feel upset- its a huge task he/she has taken on: take the place of the mega Quioa and there will always be comparisons.
But after reading Dr WWs post, I felt it was unkind to say that about someone who is doing us a favor here, unless they are pals outside the forums which doesn't seem to be apparent here. Nope, still doesn't sit right with me, personally? I would have felt a bit upset/insulted had that been about me as not knowing Dr WW I wouldn't know if he was taking the ... or not.
I would have felt different had there been some sort of an explaination or apology post following the original (like straight away, not several hours later then an explaination) but there wasn't. Lighten up fine, but don't expect everyone to agree with you Dr WW, especially when you don't explain yourself fully.

Anyway! Wanted to ask before I make a fool of myself in Tescos again! Has anyone else had any luck with the Tescos £5 off voucher, using it in food items?
