PS Talking of late posts etc I was reading yesterday's Mirror and they had an advert stating that the Computer for schools vouchers scheme starts again tomorrow at Tescos. Well worth collecting even if you do not have children as there are always small schools who could do with them.I am the only Voucher Queen in my village LOL

After midnight was not a problem, although it was a bit late in the day, but better late than never is fine.
I've posted information the following day when I've stumbled across something in a newspaper that would usually appear in this thread and hasn't already been posted.
However it was "also a bit late" since the information HAD been posted (post #8) by Hippygirl at 10:12am Saturday morning !
quoia, you ought to just take one step back and take a look at your attitude over this thread.
You are unnecessarily officious and critical of us when we are just trying to help each other out.
A while ago you went all fawlty and criticised us for not reading your thread opening posts, and complying with all the info requested etc.
Now you take it on yourself to criticise my post because it was "too late" - (though in fact you seem to be criticising it because I posted something that had already been posted earlier in the thread).
Where is the great sin in that?
In fact I had missed Hippygirl's post about the coupon - had I seen it there would have been no point in me wasting time (after midnight!) posting it again.
I stumbled across the £2.50 coupon late at night, did scan through the thread, (missing that it had been posted), and thinking it was too good to miss (and coupons buried in the book section on a Saturday could easily be missed eg.as it was by the undoubted champion of this thead, Crocker), posted about it, and took the time to add the details you daily request (store details, barcode details, paper price details), yet you still come at me to criticise (and do it wrongly, as lateness of posting is not a capital offence).
Incidentally, why do you ask us to put the paper cover price in our posts, then go on to list them anyway in your opening post?
Anyway, if all posts are getting scanned by you in the hope of pulling the poster up for some obscure etiquette/syntax reason then there will be more coupons missed as some folk won't take the time to voice their concern as I have, but will just keep their own counsel!
(On the subject of etiquette, why do we have to have your posts enhanced with fancy large fonts, colours etc?)0
