    Thanks.

    I do appreciate the points you make. However, the thread was pretty quiet at the time.

    Anyway, time to move on........I mean head out to Mr T :rotfl:

    it was quiet because noone was here yet :p to answer any questions LOL

    I always start where I finished last night so by the time I came to your question you were already upset ;) but I did answer and I always try to help if I can... Like most of us anyway...

    Ok, off I'm go to find something nice :D

    good luck everyone!!! :beer:

    No, what annoyed me was there were people here. People answering questions, recent questions and more recent than mine and someone else who asked a similar question.

    Thanks again for your help. :)

    Totally off topic, but can anyone tell me why people are disguising their town names? I'm confused!? :o

    all 3 scanners in my local have suddenly stopped working, then when i asked cs if they could check a price on some sponges (for washing my car) she accused me of pilfering!!!:eek:, I got so embarrassed in front of other shoppers i left my shopping where it stood.

    Several raesons:

    We know T3sco's read this board. They are then alerted to any missprices/glitches, and can fix them quicker.

    We know people put no effort into finding these bargains, and just want to enter their local store name, see what comes up in a search, and hey presto, shelves full of stock then cleared, ready for them to sell at car boots/Ebay.

    So disguising town names is self preservation
