    Does it matter?? the op very helpfully posts info every day I don't see any thanks from you.

    :wall::wall:

    It would just help keep the thread more condensed and easier to follow. Of course it would also result in a lower thanks tally ;), which may explain why there are three posts on one paper by the same person.

    I didnt post thanks because I dont live anywhere near London.

    I think olliesmum has said quite often before that she justs posts as she's reading - I don't think 'thanks' have anything to do with it.


    and you don't need to live in or near London to take advantage of the Metro offers - I've quite often printed coupons, which haven't been in my local edition, from the online version thanks to olliesmum :D
  • Why not just put one post about the Metro Olliesmum instead of 3 seperate ones?
    Why don't you get a life instead of digging me out?! :D Pathetic :rotfl:
    :p
  • ????? more condensed/easier to follow


    its not the largest of threads to start with, not everyone is bothered about thanks total. we post to help
    if you having trouble with this one i would hate to think how you cope with much larger threads.


    1 or 3 posts it doesn't matter, OM doesn't have to post at all but is kind enough too.

    so a BIG THANKS to all who take the time to post details.

    :rotfl: This disagreement could go on and on, however I plan to continue to contribute to this thread how I choose to, regardless of whether you like it or not. If anyone is trying to gain extra "thanks", it is clearly you in my opinion given that you are posting on the newspaper thread with nothing to offer but off topic comments. Again, get a life. :rotfl:
    :p

    I had to take a look after your comment. TBH, I thought you might be exaggerating, but after viewing it, I see you were being nice about it.

    Who would use that wrapping paper? It is very depressing.

    Plus, why would anyone download and print wrapping paper, wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to get from the 99p store?!

    I have seen people ask on this board for some thing out of a newspaper, and certain ones supplied the answer for them. They were to idle to press the THANKS BUTTON for their effort.
    He had every thing done by Friday!
