the elete 11+ started when thread 11 was put into gone. thread 12 went onto grab it. we decided to stay with thread 11 as you women chat too much runs behind happy's sofa, and each thread we started after that 11+, we started in gone. but elete has replaced 11+.

That's how i recall it too!:D

I used to follow the old misprice threads and then these morph into the 11 plus threads, the original one by Czerzy lasted 6 weeks!!:eek:

I made quite an entrance as I remember!:cool:

I nearly got trouted in Ts this afternoon by Mrs old bat McTrout, from Troutsville. If you put her in a line up of 100 suspected trouts and TiTs, she would be in your top three to avoid at all costs. Unfortunately, you can't pick and choose when you are in a hurry and you want to claim your dtd at the cs desk.

This lovely lady (of a certain age with a face that looked as if it had been smacked with a wet kipper several times) tried so hard not to give me dtd (using all the usual tricks, including talking in code to a colleague, different barcode, different model no etc, etc) that it actually ended up making me lol, which I don't think she found amusing.:rotfl::rotfl:.

I got a free Panasonic KX-TG5521 single phone, paid £80 at the till, ood sel for £40 half price.

The whole experience made me realise why I [STRIKE]hate[/STRIKE] love Ts so much and how much enjoyment I get from getting one over on them.

Ts are masters of playing mind games with shoppers, constantly changing their prices up and down, half price, bogof, bog2f, bogohp, 3 for 2 etc, etc. The phone that I got is currently on sale in Ts stores for £80!! I assume this is for 10 weeks of the year so they can offer it at a huge discount of £40 for the other 42 weeks of the year!! The same model can be bought right now, online in more than one place for less than £25..:o.

In some parts of Ireland they use the expression

"She had a face like a plateful of mortal sins":D
