Fellow fudge -

Laura Cello - Thank you so much for the info on W's whoopsies. I popped into one of my locals last Sunday and forgot to mention. They were very much 'in the know' in that store and though there were produce reductions by around 80% on some things, the strawbs were only reduced to £2.59. When I asked, he said that's as low as they'd go cuz they're on bogof Typical! There were so many there too with only 40 mins left til close! How is the flooding now? Have been thinking of you and hoping you're ok :AGOOD UCK on the big cycle tomorrow, you can do it!! :T:T:T

Stampy is the stamp put on letter or parcel if the stamp doesn't get franked you can use it again

Ok, I'll admit I've done this in the past Stopped when I read that Royal Mail has sophisticated equipment that can detect whether the stamp has been used before, even if it's not marked (something to do with the glue)...don't know if this is true?
But won't do it now as I wouldn't want the embarrassment of someone I know having to go down to the depot and pay extra cos I was too tight to buy a new stamp for their glitched card . I'd appreciate it if anyone could shed light on the stamp rumour though....

The "detection thing" was to prevent stamps being steamed off, there is a bit that is stamped out and becomes detatched if the stamp is steamed off, or is meant to anyway. Dont know if they have got round the idea of sticking selotape on it though!

evening all

just trying to fast skim read to catch up,but before I forget........

in a t's garage today they had a box of wispa gold on the counter reduced to 25p each! (hand written on the box) so one to watch for going to 1p hopefully
I didn't buy any too expensive! :rotfl:

I know theres another elite who loves these but can't remember who it was sorry ..........but I remember (more than willingly) offering to help keep an eye on the price of these with them!
