Forum time has now jumped forward an hour after jumping back an hour earlier. Time not changed on tablet but has on I phone so presuming phone is right time as matches bbc3.

My (radio-controlled) wall clock went forward at just after 2:07. Bit of an anticlimax really, as only took a matter of seconds - I much prefer it when it goes back (actually by going forward 11 hours - taking over seven minutes in which to do so - I might pull the battery out and get it to do another long search for the time after all).

Happy Easter everyone.

And today's activities are... none. (Cos it's a day off.)
Actually, much the same as yours - Sunday dinner later.

It took me over 3 hours before I gave an explanation, but never mind!

N.I. people - the A vs M list (assuming you have an A available to you) can be of use to you. If you take, for example, the items that say "also vs T" out and buy from those, it should compare, nicely, against T at the same prices. But just check on MSM.co.uk to see that T hasn't increased price since my list (as I don't always update the 'also against's very timely - not my fault, as merely I can't do everything).

So, in a way, you already have - as does everyone else - a (partial) Avs T, and Avs S, list (albeit maybe not completely up to date) as you can extract it from my M list. The vs M list is where the prices are the cheapest at M of all the supermarkets A compares to (and, on the odd occasion, even if O - to which A doesn't compare - is cheapest, sometimes Avs someone else is cheaper due to the 10%!). If I've put "also vs..." it means that that supermarket (or those supermarkets) are also the same price as M and, of definition, as vs M is, in my view, very very good, vs the other competitor should also be the same.

Those of us outside N.I. can also do a comp. vs T, or vs S, by using the appropriate entries from the Avs M list (with or without other items, minimum 8 different) - indeed you could pick eight items (which you needed anyway) that all said, for example, "also vs S" and the price check should come back saying Sains. and Morrisons were cheapest - this may not be the case due to M N/As - but you can then check the comparison and see which are returning for M. So, folks, you could 'test' the list by buying (after checking MSM.co.uk) eight or more items you needed anyway that all are "also vs T" (or eight or more that are all "also vs S"), and then check the receipt and flip over to the M comp. as well and then tell us whether, and which, items are comparing properly vs M!

I'm aware the Avs M is now very long - possibly way too long to find what you want from it - so, I've already thought (yesterday and Friday) of taking a few things from the list and highlighting them (drawing more attention to them).

So expect soon a 'shortened' version of the M list, where I'll just take a few and mention them to you. Mainly the new items that, I think, are quite good offers and a few of the existing offers of more note perhaps.

Also expect, at some point, a proper Avs T or Avs S. (I haven't forgotten!) Plenty of time though to get sorted... as it's Easter Sunday!!

H a p p y E a s t e r everyone!!!

I won't bother with a link for Avs M as it's only a few posts back, on this brand new thread!
