    When I put it in my basket and it does that price comparison thing on the right hand side it was showing at 90p in sainsburys (MSM) the ones posted were the only handwashes reduced to that price though.

    That will teach me to check using the basket it was replacing it with Carex Handwash when I added it to the basket. Sorry :(

    [...]

    The meal deals didn't make it into my big list, I think partly because of the difficulty of showing which combinations of items to buy to make up a meal deal and because it's difficult to tell (without a more detailed in-store check) what the items are as this isn't shown on MSM online. [...]

    Sorry to quote myself. I've just added this into my earlier post. I'm quoting it here as I just noticed it is a sentence that contains at least five different points. It's difficult therefore for most people to separate out what it all means, as I think many of us can only handle one or two points in a sentence! (You have to split it into bits, whereas I don't work holistically*.) I'm leaving it as it is, as it is a 'Savvy classic':rotfl:.


    [*Some more detailed analysis of this point: I can't see what's relevant and what isn't. (Although that's actually a simplification, as I can use my intellect to try to work out what is, but... (etc.).) I take in the full picture, which includes parts that many people would miss, but all the sensory information then causes me to get overloaded. This isn't a problem, in the sense that my brain can cope with all the extra information, so it doesn't give me a headache merely it causes me to take note of a load of things and my brain copes extremely well with all this (although I suspect it certainly wouldn't if it were like most people's!). Therefore my five-point sentence - I suspect it must come across as very confusing to many people, at least initially (until they then sit down and (struggle to?) work it all out, assuming they have the time and inclination to do so). I suspect it comes across as very confusing to many people. But it certainly isn't confusing to me - I know exactly what it means and it is crystal clear to me!:D]

    [Edit: adding yet more... a usual response if something is confusing is to ask someone what they mean. Except that the explanation, supposed to clarify, then adds yet more detail and likely instead succeeds in achieving even more confusion as to what was originally meant. The more you say, the more likely - at some point - you become of contradicting yourself. And therefore being confusing to others. Coupled with this, the lack of any summary - and indeed, quite the contrary, yet more overload (for almost 'everyone else') from the addition of the explanation(s)(!!:rotfl::rotfl:) Rolls-around being added due to the singular and plural alternative there itself illustrating the point of adding more than one interpretation - and thus lacking a simple summary and thus, it can be seen, adding confusion.]

    Can you not photograph it or maybe you have one already and have someone make you another, adding in to it a piece from the original somewhere ;)

    That way it still lives on :cool:
