what will be the best quantity to buy these in Tosco to compare sada tia

One.

Unless you have a cond.spend to need to reach.

Why buy more than the minimum? The mbuy won't glitch (is very unlikely to do so) as that's an A thing. Any more than one and you are also risking T coming back N/A and losing more on every one bought (in addition to the one already lost on in that scenario).

Yes the reason for this is that the brain only needs the first and last letter to be in the correct place as the brain reads the word not the letters

Legibility also depends on the letter-shapes and the typeface used.
For example, you (by 'you' I mean people in general) find it easier to read the top half of a line of type, but not the bottom. Try it. Find a line of type, in fairly large letters, and cover up the bottom half with a ruler - and see if you can read it; usually you can read whole words if not the whole thing. Then cover up the top half ... now it's unreadable!
It's the same with the right-hand part of each letter (easier to 'read') and the left side. But that's not as easy to try out for yourself.
You can also try it here

if you scroll down to the section Understanding Letters there's a couple of good examples to play around with.

It's to do with how the eye moves across the page when you're reading. You don't read straight from left to right, even if you think you do! Your eyes jump forwards-forwards-back a bit-forwards-back-forwards-forwards etc etc

No savvy I've been buying them this week and reporting that the strawberry flavour compares at 50p v W. Hth

I'm wondering the same. Now he's back with the car I have carte blanche but Ibdont know if it'll be worth it

But I'm not gonna find a cheap DSLR by sitting on my backside. But there's no guarantee that I'll find one if I do go! Ooooooh, decisions decisions :rotfl:



I'm not doing M&S so I'm ok with that.

I might pop up the stoke later and see if there's any cheap cameras:)



I indeed looked in the wrong place. I looked at the numbers and not the written text

I didn't look at the text! I looked at the bit where "mistake" was spelled incorrectly.

Thanks indeed! You could well have been, as I've been offline more due to phone problems. (Still dodgy now - but, touch wood, touch wood, touch wood, having a good period:eek: (:eek: at me writing that, as it's bound to go offline immediately now).) Just shame they aren't really on mbuy (or maybe they are and I've not yet caught up with it?).
