Is anyone planning to visit today and carefully moving a couple of toys to random places in the shop (behind other stock etc.) so you stand a better chance of getting what you want tomorrow?

No, because a) it would possibly make more work for the staff in there and b) it wouldn't really be cricket would it?!

Yes that and stealing out of somebody else's trolley tomorrow.

People would really put items they want elsewhere in the store?? Quite sad really.

I remember when only MSE'ers knew about this sale, (and MSE was quieter) and I could toodle down to my 'local' Sainsbugs (nearest one is 25-30mins drive away) at any point during the first day and pick up what I wanted. There would only be about 2 or 3 others perusing the aisle and all was very polite and civilised, and they still had loads left the following day too. Ah, happy memories!
