Morning all

Did a Muller shop this morning, I bought 30 at 65p each. The multibuy has only taken off £2.10 and £1.20 when it should have taken off a total of £7.50. Can’t believe I didn’t notice this at the checkout but I’ll be back later to collect my £2 gift card from CS. Has anyone else had an incorrect multibuy on Mullers? Might be worth to double check if you’ve bought them recently.

It's been mentioned on here a couple of times, you need to buy in 10s max as the multibuy doesn't kick in. I haven't bought any yet. Might get some corners today if it's still working. I believe these are veggie?

read this might help

i think tv licence is rubbish and the bbc shuld be opened up to tender/adverts so we the public dnt pay

I agree with you CQ123, and your right about it not being straight forward , even if you have a recording device you must have a tv licence, I remember an oap had to buy a colour tv licence, even though he had a black and white tv, because he had a video player that could receive the colour signal :mad: another money making swindle we have to pay.

I was going to buy 20 the other day as I knew the discount didn't come off, but there are big signs on the fridge saying only 1 offer per transaction.

:eek: disinformation. You would still be watching a "live broadcast" and would therefore be liable to purchase a TV license

From TV licensing website:

As long as the address where you live is licensed, you’re also covered to watch TV outside your home using any device powered solely by its own internal batteries. This includes your mobile phone, laptop and tablet.

So the "address where you live" is your parent's address as proved by a) having a room there, b) being there a lot c) being on the electoral register d) address for bank statements etc e) registered home address with the uni.

"outside your home" can include your uni room, common room and anywhere else.

"any device" includes laptops

"powered solely by its own internal batteries" which is how laptops work - plugging in charges the batteries up and that is what they run off.

So the only requirement is that the parent's home needs a licence.

Yes everytime! It does it when you buy more than one lot of 10 , it see's the first 10 and then the others only see the 6 discount . Happened a few times . i'm only going to buy in seperate 10's in futures .

My 'front room' is at the back of the house, but we call it the front room. My 2 year old however does call it the back room. lol

When I was little my mum used to call the living room the "Saloon" :eek:

My great-grandparents did own a pub.

Off to As later as I want to get stocked up on yogs and coke before half-term starts and we have a houseful of starving students. Hanging on to see if anyone confirms they are working today as I already overspent on the grocery budget.

Just had a wooden knife from Kingsmill, Thanks to the OP.

Is it supposed to be a butter knife ?
