oh for goodness sake, all you peeps "sitting this thread out"

The thread is all about us, all of us, supporting each other, finding glitches, sharing, caring.

Whose name is on the top of thread really doesn't matter, it's the thread itself that counts.

Ah sanity!

They do 4 packs of spaghetti too. For some bizarre reason it's always on the lowest shelf in my local A's.

A denomination of a muckle of course

A mickle and a muckle are actually the same thing - a large amount. Just different spellings of the same word. The saying "many a mickle . . . " makes no real sense.

From someone who is coincidentally aff tae the Muckle Toon the day!

Morning paw sniffers

Just wondering why a thread was started so early Locarr......it would certainly have gone through the night and a discussion could have taken place this morning about who should start the new thread.

It's usually tradition that someone who has contributed with a great glitch gets the chance to do this and there have been some brilliant glitches on the last thread.......not only Heatherlea.... But others too.

It's a great honour to start a thread and I think it's a brilliant way of thanking someone for their contribution.

Just wondering?

Hi there everyone!!:):)

I notice I'm coming in to the end (hopefully) of something that appears to have been started off here. I usually keep well out, as any contribution by me is inappropriate. I'm also very prone, speaking generally, to being misunderstood I feel. (Then again I don't experience how often or not anyone else feels themselves misunderstood, I'm sure it happens to all of us from time to time.)

As a pure factual statement, and not aimed at anyone, I noticed that about 22 posts had been deleted on the last thread when moving some of my lists to here. I found my 'post 8999' Svs A was now at a slightly lower-numbered post.

Imagine what would happen if the Elite threads were to be closed. No glitch sharing, no money saving, all of the useful info. we get stopped. No Morries list:eek::eek:. I'm sure we would all have to go back to much more expensive shopping, each left to find every glitch and produce every comparison ourselves, and with no information from any wombles from anyone else.

Regarding why a thread was started quite early:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=63578977&postcount=9722

I think it was simply the case that Redfox wanted one started before going to sleep, rather than one in the middle of the night and then leaving some time till the old one could be closed.

Locarr posted near the end of the old thread about 'tak[ing] the liberty' of starting a new one. Again purely factually, TM you have thanked that post!:) Although I don't know what time you thanked it, maybe it was only more recently.

To be honest, at the time Locarr posted about taking the liberty, me I was grateful for anyone who started a new thread. To me it makes no difference who starts a thread, and I don't get involved in anything whoever it is.

It could have been me who started this new thread. My own 'plan' (in the event scuppered:rotfl::cool: by Redfox) was to start one at just before '2 o'clock for the first time' this morning, as you know I am peculiar about 'deeply interesting' things such as exact time. If that had happened, it would still have been the case one would have been started without discussion at breakfast time.

If it's a tradition there is a discussion, thank you for making me aware of this:o:o and you're helped some me for the future jumping in and acting 'inappropriately' purely from my own lack of knowledge.

I'm starting the Morries updating (...about time too I hear you say:rotfl:) if I am able to do that - overnight msm was down, probably not all night but for a short time - usually means some previous missing items have now been put into the database and will be on msm (whether or not they have yet got into the APG;) - I think you should take care if shopping right now, as even if not yet updated into APG (which I know neither one way or the other) it will be highly likely be updated by noon today - hence less than three hours away and when you come to check your receipt etc...).

Some, or many, of you will know the above already! I think the downtime means new items added to the database, but it also means new glitches as, inevitably, when one thing is sorted out it usually messes up another:rotfl:.

Right, I've finished this post. I'll see what I can do on those lists:D.

So you avoided the 3 pack Branston ones they want you to buy (they're out prominently at the front of one of my stores)?:rotfl::rotfl:




(I think the reason is, or at least an (attempt at) explanation by me, the point I'm making is the 3 pack at £1 works out at around 33p:eek: each but the Heinz vs T works out far cheaper:j:j (I think so, anyway, unless I've not looked at it in depth - I can't imagine this thread would be all buying that if it worked out as being a worse deal - ... and...here's the point! at last:wall:... you 'always' have to hunt around and look high and low in order to find the best deal.

It's how supermarkets work - put out items that make them more profit at eye-level so more people buy them. There must be a reason why those items make more profit (apart from them then being put at eye-level) - could it be the deals on them, that many people thereby 'fall for', are actually very poor and see people paying more (and hence giving money - i.e. ending up in more profit - to the store)?:question:? Just my opinion that 3 pack can packs at £1 are very poor. 33p (approx.) per can, rather than 4 packs at £1 being 25p each for example.))
