    I was! Another brilliant game :T
    Was a tough one to call, I like them both, but it's good to see the winner do well (no spoilers, just in case!)
    Don't think I'm gonna manage the next game though, I'm knackered! And I missed the afternoon games as well, stoopid work :mad: :rotfl:
    But least I'm not in 'til next weekend now :D

    I missed this afternoon as well :( should have stayed home and watched instead of growling at aisle gassers in Ts :mad: :D:rotfl:

    Now - after my clueless answer:o:o - another blindspot area I'm afraid - some serious/useful replies doubtless to follow from someone else.

    Serious? On here? Must be joking:rotfl::rotfl:!:D:D

    Just butting in to show what might be of interest from a WOMBLE this afternoon of the 4 for £5 ales multibuy showing on receipt but not on the APG. Looks like 4 Morland Old Goldeb Hen 500ml bottle might give a good return against Morrisons if glitch still working tomorrow.
    Overall the receipt gave no return.
    Only showing results of S & M because others were cheaper in A:

    :wave: Savvy. Also :T to all the baked good on here - loving your work!

    :wave::rotfl: I realise I wasn't too helpful, so:

    Vs Morries
    3 x Strongbow Dark Fruits Cider (10x440ml)£24.00£26.00

    And that's an mbuy for Morries, still more expensive than glitching three times full price at A! The 'best' (or least worst) on that item is vs T at £25:eek: (again, after T mbuy saving apparently). Even vs T, it knocks just £1.50 off the price (as APG back) and having to buy three to make that 'saving'!:eek: May be of use to someone to find something else much better?

    Oh, what the heck, you can have full comp. vs Morries on their shop:

    You'd think I need that?:p Though I do find your green computer number picture fascinating!:D

    Just to tell you that some prices on the APG for M may be comparing to M's online prices (which are due to start on 10th Jan.) rather than the 'current' instore prices.

    Separately I also had an mbuy glitch on a womble earlier today - Strongbow 24x ???ml* at £8 each and any 3 for £20 in A returned 3x £8 on the APG. It still returned with nothing though, due no doubt to the £12.11 they saved by buying other mbuys. How can people save £15.11 on their shops?:mad::rotfl::rotfl: T was still £15.44 more expensive (even with the Strongbow full price) on their well in excess of £100 shop.:eek: I think Morries in fact may not be wrong - they obviously know how much people usually spend in their stores and it's a service more than likely not aimed at us but at weekly shoppers who often spend in excess of £40. For them, the £1 delivery charges could be attractive. We shall see! Give them a coupon for a few quid off their £40 spend and you've hooked them back in.

    I couldn't confirm the price comp. on the Strongbow vs Morries or elsewhere unfortunately as my internet connection immediately went off again:(.

    Just popping on to let you know though.
    The fault's been reported, who knows when it will be fixed. Managing to print APGs off in the 'one minute' windows I occasionally get from my phone service:(:rotfl::(. (I don't care - you can have another frown!:p.)

    :rotfl:Though not able much to go around msm - you'd think they could get M on there soon?!?

    Goodbye, again, for now!!:wave:

    *Sorry, not very able to check at the mo. due to the internet probs.

    :rotfl::rotfl: Question is this a different one or the same one Savvy ? ;)
