    I think you may be missing the point of my post in your crusade for what you want as an individual. How will the arrangement you want help the poor and needy to get basic food at a cheap price when a lot of those posting complain that because they are using an Iphone or similar find it difficult to access bargains while they are on a jaunt around stores in their free time that they have, possibly because they don't have to work

    I think the assumptions that you make on behalf of bargain hunters are quite outrageous:

    That bargain hunters all have Iphones, that they all go for a JAUNT around the shops, that they possibly don't have to work.

    It's not what I want as an individual, it's what the majority want. This is getting way out of hand.
    I started a poll as the grabbits kept getting moved, people voted on that, the majority so far, over 93% 587 votes, voted for the grabbits to stay as they were.What does that tell you? Yes I promoted the poll in various threads to make people aware of the poll, because that's what you do when you have a poll otherwise no one votes;) It's pretty straight forward in my opinion, you either want it or you don't.

    Again you are missing the point and I'm sorry to have to stress this again. I was replying to someone who cited the needs of the poor and needy as vindication for your crusade. Lets have some clear thought through responses to peoples posts otherwise this well intentioned discussion becomes as valueless as facebook posts. In your opinion how does making it easier for those who access these grabbit threads in store via an iphone(or similar) make it beneficial to those on a tight budget.

    Right Artha, I am so not missing your point!!!!!! I am choosing to ignore it, and I wish you would stop stressing it as I absolutely no interest in the rights or wrongs of supposed poor, unemployed people who use iphones. I don't want to discuss it I just want the grabbits sorted.

    HotUKdeals manage it, they have tabs at the top so you select which type of deal you want to view but you can also click on all and see all the deals - which is what I do.
