Finally had time to speed-read through last week's posts.
Thanks TM, tweets, EmP, rhos and especially bubbs (and anyone else I missed out) - that was very sweet of you :A :A :A

I should have asked, really, shouldn't I? "Please, Miss, may I be excused?"

There were a few real-life things that suddenly needed dealing with. Some sad, concerning friends (which I won't trouble you with here as there seems to have been a lot of sad news on here recently - sending positive vibes to everyone on here who needs them). Lots of glad, though, as well.
And a life-changing one, for yours truly. In a good way. A really good way. A really really good way.:) A 'try-and-slap-the-grin-off-my-face' way.

Are you going to spill the good news then?:D:D:D

This always happens - I'm waiting for somewhere else to go down to 30p each on the yogs before getting them. Ibuprofen is already on my list for Tvs A (unfortunately for your own shop) following a price increase in Mr S (which doesn't match on own brands).

Not what i expected you to say

I think what you meant to say is "you didn't lose 7p, you lost. 4p" :cool:

I wasn't addressing that point in my post. I was merely referring to moving the Ibuprofen to Tvs A after a price increase in S (which meant it was removed from Avs S). Of course, they'd opted into 10% cheaper than S's higher price. I hadn't mentioned them losing that though, but just about my movement of Ibuprofen to a different comparison. In fact, it's not a 4p loss - but is a loss of, slightly, more! It was previously A 32p vs S at 25p, so would have been about 22 or 23p (net cost after APG). Now it's Avs S at 32p, the net price is 10% off 32p (about 28.8p), making it a 6.3p loss (not 4p:rotfl:).

On current prices, the Ibuprofen would have been Tvs A or Svs A if S matched own brand items. But they don't, so it's just Tvs A (or buy in A separate from any APG shop).
:eek::eek: - Or perhaps the Ibuprofen could be used as a filler on an Avs Waities shop?

It's gone without saying (from me) - well done on passing your exam!:T:T

(The '...always happens' thing is a reference to the Mullers.)

A good way of putting self-important people in their place (not that this applies to the Elite, of course) is to call them a something-monkey; for example, an over-zealous SA is a till monkey (as in "Oi, come here, till monkey"); a policeman might be a truncheon monkey; a doctor would be a pill monkey; the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the Coin Monkey; the Commander of the British Armed Forces is the Chief Bullet Monkey; the Pope is the Prayer Monkey; etc etc etc
The possibilities are endless....

There is a grown-up version , which I think SSM hinted at (sorry, can't find the post). It only works girl-to-boy; boy-to-girl doesn't sound right, somehow. Do I have to spell it out?:o Well, if I must - as in
"Right, get up them stairs and into bed, **** monkey."

A female friend of mine has a great phrase for her BFs:
"Have you met S----, he's my new shagpiece."


Of course, I was a Teenage Space Monkey - I have the t-shirt to prove it :rotfl:
