I love my Kindle although I still read paper books at home. The Kindle lives in my handbag and comes out at coffee shops, waiting outside school etc. It was invaluable on holiday, really reduced my luggage weight!

I have found that if you're a true book lover and really lose yourself in a book, you forget it's a Kindle and even try to turn the page in the normal way!

My OH (and her mum) are mega book readers. When the opportunity arose to get a kobo free witht he WHS glitch a while back (is that still working by the way? lol) they both ummed and arred in the same way. They did eventually take the plunge and both love them and wouldn't part with them for the world.

Hmm think I may be coming round to the idea again
OH would use it as well actually, he does a bit of travelling on the bus so would be good for him too.
Might have to look into this for Christmas

I agree, but what is the difference between this and consuming chicken reared in a battery? those chooks suffers for the better part of 6 months and are being sold for 3-4 quid each.

why should whales/dolphins be viewed differently?

This is about dolphins and whales.
Not about chickens.
There are people who argue about battery chickens and even rescue some of the hens from battery farms, won't buy battery eggs etc.
But as I said.... this whole thing is about the dolphins and whales

That thisismoney article has a couple of interesting points on it

A Tesco out-of-stock price of 3p captured for three weeks on mysupermarket for Don Simon orange juice meant that Asda gave customers buying it for £1 a money-off voucher for 94p, so it was 10 per cent cheaper than Tesco even though Don Simon was not actually available in Tesco for 3p.

Spend £1, get voucher for 94p = spend 6p. How is 6p 10% less than 3p? :rotfl:

James Foord, VP Business Development for mysupermarket said: ‘We have an agreed policy with Asda that if a product is out-of-stock at any of the retailers for a period of more than 7 days then it comes off the system and therefore the comparison.
‘This of course means that on rare occasions these low priced products might exist on the system for a few days or less enabling the more observant shoppers to take advantage and work the system.’

I think they missed the 7 day aim with the Don Simon don't you?

Mr Foord said there was no question the software company would refund Asda for the cost of errors. ‘This of course is an irrelevant question since it is not us that is setting the prices. In addition, the APG system is wholly owned and operated by Asda.’

I first read "no question the company would refund Asda" to mean "of course we will". Then reading on it was more obvious that the meant there is no question to answer in the first place because MSM didn't set the prices! No, you just picked up the wrong ones!

Not at all.

A's will of course pursue them. MSM are just preparing for a fight and don't want to admit liability

Can someone let me know the details of the Alessi Twins cutlery at Tesco? Was it 1p knives? I've searched and can't find any details. I need cutlery and plates for the house I'm saving up for :T Thanks x

if you really want the coupons they are available for a small charge(plus postage) on a well know selling and buying web site ,other than that I'd follow Troutys directions to Cloud Cukoo Land or shop shop shop at T's .

They are rather nice and will probably pick some up today .

Good luck .
