    Hi Folks , is it my bad eyes or something else ....

    I posted a gentle reminder this morning at approx 9;30 - 10;00 ish to a poster that as a group we're moving forward in a positive fashion and not using banned words or tryng to hide them with asterixes (is that a word ?) after the recent kerfuffle with HC and the Mods etc ..some of you were kind enough to thank for me for this but for the life of me I can't find this post ....I've trued looking at 'more posts by 4p 'but it's not there . I wonder why such a thing should be removed ?

    Hi FourP, I've just checked your posts, and nothing showing between 5.31pm yesterday, and 10.30am this morning.

    I did however, see the post, as I did think it was good to remind peeps.

    Maybe Mods removed the original post, and then yours?

    just got back from a wasted trip to ts. i looked at my clear bag of recycle plastic, out for collection. there is about 30 vitamin tubs in view, from the boots glitch. (where i had trebled all containers up to make space). it looks like i am a right junkie. :rotfl:

    Just looked for the post you mentioned, and you're right in thinking it has been removed....I can recall reading it but have no idea why it has gone as nothing in there to offend.

    thanks for the re-assurance folks , it's no biggie but I was just wondering why such a positive comment was met with such a negative action .

    Well back from Tesco, nothing doing with the whoopsies, most of it wasn't even half price 45 mins before closing and I couldn't be bothered to wait!

    Got some sandwiches for 7p thanks to a wombled 93p JTD voucher though :D Also (in a seperate transaction) used my two Nivea vouchers for 2 £1.99 moisturisers, forgot to get something else to bring the price into a positive but SA at SS till was lovely and waited for me while I darted to reduced veg and got an apple and grape pack for 11p so all in all a nice trip :T

    Then went to Asda, lots of bread sitting on reduced shelf with tomorrow's date so asked in bakery who said to call back about 5ish tomorrow, so I'll do that, lots of mini loaves that fit very neatly into spaces in the freezer.

    Saw that dreadful blonde woman again hanging around the reduced stuff, knew she must be waiting for someone to wheel the reduced stuff out (don't blame them after last week's dreadful behaviour!), poor girl got a few steps into the main aisle before about 10 people descended on her like a starving pride of lions on a gazelle, I've never seen anything like it :eek: She had to fight her way over the reduced stuff to put it on the shelves, she literally swept her arm across the trolley and got everything into the section. Then she couldn't get out, no-one would move, two elderly people were barged out of the way as they all acted like a pack of animals.

    Actually that's an insult to animals! I've never seen such disgusting behaviour, I've heard people describe it on here but never witnessed it, people do descend quickly on new whoopsies but there's normally much less aggressiveness involved. I've a mind to give up whoopsie-ing lest I be lumped into the same category! It makes me sick :mad:

    I remember reading your post too - did you perhaps quote the offending post without removing the offending word?
