    I like this so thought I would share.
    Three engineers and three accountants are traveling by train to a
    conference. At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets
    and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.

    "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an
    accountant.

    "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.

    They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats
    but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind
    them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around
    collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket,
    please."

    The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in
    hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

    The accountants saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So
    after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on
    the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all
    that). When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the
    return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket
    at all.

    "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed
    accountant.

    "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.

    When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom
    and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train
    departs. Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom
    and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He
    knocks on the door and says, Ticket, please."
    When I grow old, I dont want people thinking "what a sweet old lady" I want them to think
    "oh carp what is she up to now!"

  • Please could someone help me? I've been out and have come back to find half the posts have been edited.
    I did go and do a 2 x H&S plus a cheapie earlier on today to confirm the glitch worked :) so hoping someone will take pity and let me know if any of the other combos are working before I head back out


    Really don't want to go to HUKD
    Please :)
    Thank you

    This just highlights loud and clear what I said earlier about how daft and counter-productive it is to delete these posts. No doubt someone posted about the Smartprice shampoo not working then deleted it too? I know everyone says stop arguing etc but guys can we please stop this ridiculous deleting of posts?
    If I had a pound for every pound I'd lost, I'd be confused

    A bit fed up with the chocs as only got because I thought they would compare at £1. M&M's bag on 2 for £3.

    Seems the shampoo doesn't work then, hence why people are buying the conditioner :( Wish it had been made clearer as it seems everyone else knew? Or was it just luck people bought conditioner?

    Yesterday, I needed 2 more movie bag pouches for the free cinema ticket, planned to get the minstrels, but once I got to the store, the minstrels hadn't got the cinema offer on them! Quick text to DS1, to get him to find out, which of the £2.09 bags were £1 in T's!

    Always useful to have someone else in the family that understands how the PP or the APG works ;)

    Caught up :)

    Help please with a suitable hair colour - any suggestions for a sort of mid-dark brow, mahogany, dark copper sort of colour which is sold by t and a and might compare?

    Seems to be loads of browns and blondes, black and bright red but nothing for me :)

    So can I just flag up loud and clear:

    Shampoo glitch: Buy the Asda smartprice conditioner as your cheap item, NOT the shampoo. The 20p shampoo doesn't compare.
    Chris I am new to all of this but I have mysupermarket open and always click on the picture of the item and if it compares at the other shops it shows their prices.
    Just to make sure because I did not want to mess up with 2 bottles of shampoo for a tenner
