    bubbs, I really do think that you should start the new thread :)

    Just go ahead and create it, call it anything you want, then you can edit the title when you've had a think about it.

    If you "quote" the first post, then copy over the quoted text, the links should copy over as well - but again you can go back to amend them later. :)

    Was just about to say this. I am guessing they must have been very persuasive to get Yoghurt Queen to sign. :(

    It is so easy for all of us to get carried away when there are such good comparisons.

    I have never risked going over my £100 a month, but I know everyone's financial situation is different and it is not easy for everyone not to push the limits.

    I am sorry to hear what happened Yoghurt Queen, it must have been awful for you. But it is a risk taking game we play at times.


    Its not just the good comparisons that get us in trouble - the wombles also add up and I'm sure several people on here have said they have wombled over £100 worth in a month. Its easy to be wise after the event and perhaps we should all take heed of what can happenif we get wumbled.

    The trouble with this is that the ban is nothing to do with an ASDA mess up - they aren't objecting to YQ taking advantage of the Snake glitch, they are objecting to the fact that she did it too many times and went well over her £100 per month allowance. Its very easy to forget about the £100 limit especially when we have all found a way round actually printing a limitless number.

    I don't agree, the snakes were not comparing correctly. There is no way snakes were being sold at this price else where. I do believe they were comparing the price of 12 bottles against the price of 1 in Ms. This was a mess up by As pure and simple. An offer too good to be missed. I don't give a **** about their terms and conditions. Their IT systems are carp at best....

    If your being held and not allowed to move.. I suggest that is 999 and not 101

    If she was not allowed to move, how is she going to ring the police? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

  • Is everyone now counting how much they spent using APG's in the past month ?
  • If she was not allowed to move, how is she going to ring the police? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Most people have mobile phones?
