    Checking on the app will lock your results in.

    Checking on the web on different dates can produce different results (i write all my apg values on my receipts but [strike]sometimes [/strike]twice when i've gone to print i've noticed the amount is different :think:)

    AAU I hope that works as I'm still yet to understand my APG from Sunday :rotfl:

    1 x Muller Fruit Corner Peach & Apricot (150g)£0.50£0.34
    4 x Muller Crunch Corner Vanilla Yogurt & Chocolate Ba...£2.00£1.36

    No idea what the heck is going on with the mullers.
    My APG is for £2.03 (but 4p of that I think is for something else)
    Anyone explain what the mullers are up to?
    7 on my receipt were 68p but 3 of them were 34p :think:

    Still don't understand why 2 of them compared at 34p each.
    I think As are playing with all of us :mad:

    Aww don't shut up tweets. It's lovely to hear your fond memories of your Dad :A
    There is a lovely quote you might like. It's by Hedy Lamarr. She was an actress back in the 30s/40s


    'I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father’s equal, and I never loved any other man as much' ~ Hedy Lamarr
    :)

    That's a lovely quote by Hedy Lamarr thank you.

    I should take a pic of the 2 pics my mum got in her flat ones my dad when he was a young man and the other is my DS and the resemblance is uncanny. If I remember I will take pics of the pics if I go as planned on Wednesday weather permitting .

    Will post on here if I am allowed ;)

    I took the kids out for dinner after the airshow to a Flaming Grill pub. The food was nice enough but there wasn't alot of it. I stupidly left DS2 unattended whilst I went off to order a coffee. Whilst I was gone a waitress had come to clear the table and had made the fatal mistake of asking if everything had been ok :eek: I arrived back at the table to hear the following

    DS2: 'Well, actually no it wasn't alright. Obviously the person in here who is in charge of portion control doesn't have children. If they did they would know that children eat more than 6 chicken dippers and 18 chips. If my dad fed me portions like that everyday I'd be seriously undernourished. I will probably need another dinner when I get home :o:o:o:o and also, the waitress who brought my dinner called my dippers 'nuggets'. That's poor product knowledge' :o:o:o

    The waitress looked a bit bewildered and started asking if he wanted a free dessert :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I told her no, it was fine we were just going.

    On the way out another member of staff said 'thanks guys, see you again'

    DS2 ( whilst being pulled hurriedly out the door by me) 'I very much doubt you will be seeing us again' :eek::o:o:o:o

    :o:)

    Good on the boy - seems very sensible, honest feedback. If the British weren't generally too soft to tell it how it is we might get better service !

    Possibility of cheap chocolate or guarantee of cheap beer.... :think:
    I don't even drink and I'd choose the beer too :D
    But I would still be thinking of the chocolate the whole time :rotfl:

    Rose, :T congrats on the weightloss, you obviously don't need !!!!!! motivating stick like some of us do :D

    FC, I read your post out loud to my DH and we agreed if DS1 got a chance to speak up he'd probably have said the same in that situation (he's shy though and usually gets told to pipe down) :D
    I love hearing your stories :)

    Can the £1.25 v £1 shoppers please confirm the details of their shops. Such as:

    Country (S, E, W or I)?
    24 hour store?
    Ex netto?
    Results checked on app or web?

    Same goes for 35pv£1 peeps please :beer:

    I don't think there is any point asking about time.

    I'd love to crack this as it is possible it could reveal another quirk of apg. Of course its also possible we won't get anywhere with it at all

    Id love to find out whats going on too, very strange the way some are comparing and others not.

    mine compared at £1.25 to £1
    Country (S, E, W or I)? North west
    24 hour store? Yes
    Ex netto?
    No
    Results checked on app or web? App

    just wondering if there are different barcodes? barcode on mine is 000159458290

    also SEL in my store said reduced to 70p (although scanned at 35p) dont know where my thinking is going here really but wondered what the SEL said for others
