And a special thanks to terryw, very entertaining posts, and I noticed the other night when someone else gave the most grudging apology I have ever seen you also said sorry to someone, I dont know what you had done wrong but you were so nice about it saying sorry 3 or 4 times.
Well done mate, not many gents around.

Thanks mate. Those of us who went to the Martin Bormann Comprehensive were well taught about the necessity of good manners.

I have been doing a lot of thinking this evening, mainly due to Hardys Crest!!! I know this point has been laboured already but how can Mr T advertise that if they are not cheaper than Asda they will give you Double the Difference and then cap it at any level???
Surely this is misrepresentation, if they are not cheaper they should give Double the Difference regardless of the amount, as per all of their advertising. I can't understand why Mr A hasn't jumped all over this, especially at the start of the promotion where the cap per voucher was £100 and then £100 limit per month.
If somebody was having a family dinner and bought 6 bottles of Hardys Crest & 2 bottles of Hiedseick blue top champagne from Tesco (not an impossibilty, as I tend to do this at Christmas), their policy states that they could only claim £100 per month and used to state a maximum of £100 per voucher, so the price guarantee would therefore not apply on their usual monthly shop.
They then change the policy to a max of £20 per voucher i.e. £20 per shop, from what I have learnt during this promotion I am certain that on a weekly shop I could save at least £20 per week by shopping at Asda, therefore their policy changes make this promotion not accessible to ordinary families (due to the £20 voucher cap), so I don't understand how they are getting away with advertising this as a price guarantee. If I was Mr A, I would have my staff, customers, friends and anyone I walked past in the street writing to the papers and making a spectacle of the debarcle of the Mr T campaign.
I would also just like to point out that I have had a good run at this campaign and I am overjoyed by what was achieved before my vouchers were refused, so I am not at all bitter about any of what has gone on. But I do feel that if anything was to come out of this, it should be Mr T lowering his prices but due to the cap in place, no prices are going to be lowered on a permanent basis. Therefore as far as I am concerned, the moral of the story is.......shop at Asda!

I have to disagree to an extent (DTD Vodka and DTD diet coke) Everyone who does a 'normal' shop seems to find that Tesco is actually cheaper. We are working the system to find the most expensive items against the cheapest in Asda. Im sure if the deal was the other way around with Mr A doing DTD we could do exactly the same.
And I have cupboards full of stuff that I wouldnt normally have, and my family are the same.

Mmmmmmmmmmm, just enjoying my

The Master Blender’s tasting notes : COURVOISIER® VSOP offers a delicate bouquet and excellent balance of oak and exotic flavours. The aroma is subtle and harmonious, with undertones of vanilla and grilled almond and the finish leaves a nice, tender memory.

Yeah, whatever, it tastes great!

Thank you Tesco! I'm getting another one tomorrow!

Can you tell me what the price difference on this was please?

Just back from T and redeemed a 20.00 voucher earned from a basket yesterday which was paid voucher + cash with no clubcard.

Checkout operator scanned voucher AND the barcode of the accompanying original receipt [non-Clubcard transactions print a transaction barcode at the bottom for retrospective points allocation.]

This would allow linking of "anonymous" transactions - ie. associating the "earn" and "spend" transactions of those of us not using clubcards. Linking up the earn/spend > earn/spend > earn/spend recycling chain!

Sneaky!

Am enjoying the slightly surreal posts as well. Long may they go on.

Thinking out loud whilst enjoing a Cornetto and a lovely Twinnings cup of Tea.......

Maybe we should start a thread with receipes using the best of the DTD purchases, maybe reccommend a tipple to go with it as well, also we could include a price?

The short answer is "yes" for purposes of DTD but "no" for purposes of JSA as not enough NI contributions were paid in the employment.

Agreed. I normally shop at Tesco and when people rave about A's and I go, I find it hard to do a good normal shop. Maybe I have tailored the needs of my family to fit in with Tesco value. I find that asda are cheaper for c**p which I try not to buy too much of, proven by the vast quantity of said food eligible for a great dtd now!However, I will be using my supermarket a bit more often after this is all over though!
