    Wonder if H.C still has his wallet.

    DSG this thread used to crack me up but it's all got to serious now.

    Think I made it @ number 97 on the clip strip :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Cost me more in petrol but was worth it for the fun.


    Your an adopted southerner now :D

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    So shocked to see 'one of our own' bring us down, shame on you henlans.
    Such a greedy attention seeker.
    I only done one shop and was pleased to have a discount on my next shop.
    Not MSE at all!!


    Just to point out..

    I was in bed, I got a pm and said your listed on Daily Mail, I contacted the reporter and the report had changed to my bit of it. I only added to it.

    'I've made £8,670 off Asda in four weeks'

    Was all ready on the site BEFORE I gave a interview. Im not shamed off it. I am allowed to do what I like.

    I guess some people jumped before you known the facts.. The story was ALLREADY there. I had not spoken to them before that lol..

    scrub that I took a step back and thought after I posted, so it's edit time

    And ask what they do to them :eek:



    Before I start, I am not having a go I promise :o

    What would you suggest would be staying under the radar? Before this, I had wombled a few receipts and a heck of a lot more since. My best womble was £4odd, most were less than £1 and a few were around £2. Even if we'd all stuck to under the magic £10 limit that draws less attention, how long do you think it would have taken the powers to be to see that many many more people were using the APG system and claiming more than the average of a pound or two?

    I wouldn't say I admired Henlans stash nor his bragging to the media but credit where credit is due, at least he's been honest about what he's done. The cap as you say won't affect that many people although I admit I've gone over the new cap limit a few times with not realising how big the APG would be. By 'hammering' the system, most of us in my opinion, have gotten more than if we'd all stayed under the radar and spread the love over a longer period. If we'd done the slowly slowly catchy monkey method, we'd more than likely be at a fraction of our current stash levels and overflowing with fillers.

    There's no right or wrong but for every person on this forum using this glitch, there's probably another 2 or 3 lurkers who may or may not have the same scruples (sp?) as most on here. This was a gift horse. I've taken advantage and I will continue to take advantage. No matter if you've done one shop or 100 shops, each person has contributed towards the downfall of this glitch in a cumulative way.

    No congrats to Ms-Money-Penny for making a sensible purchase and not rushing outside to shout it in the street.


    I got what i needed for myself and DD1. We went to West Wales for the weekend with Albari, cereals, snack bars,Mr Kiplings, Crisps and it saved quite a lot of money.

    Stopped in the services on the way, 99p for a packet of Walkers crisps:eek: no i didn't buy had a 12 pack in the boot.:rotfl:

    Yes, I think COTs misinformer smilies suffice though the above is tempting for serious offenders :eek::D Kidding :D

    just a thought but.......is there not a £100 a calander month limit on the APG???

    seeing as this glitch is only 4 weeks old the most you can benefit is £200, it would be fun to be a fly on the wall when the "powers that be" decide what to do. When someone is openly stating that they have abused the system to the tune of over £8k. it doesn't matter how you do the maths it just wont add up
    It's the thought that counts.......I think a lot!
