    Gotcha now :beer:

    That was why I was thinking "the juxtaposition of price perception and price reality"

    I'm no longer looking forward to reading it then :p :rotfl:

    When my oh left Royal Mail 6 years ago his office did not even get him a card let alone a present. Still when he moved offices 8 years previously his customers threw him a lovely party. He was badly bullied in his last office and was glad to leave.

    http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/looks-can-deceive/

    As an aside(!) - regarding just one piece of that article: "You probably believe that your eyes register high-fidelity information about the absolute size, speed and distance of visible objects and that you respond based on these impartial data." Not true in my case: I don't believe my eyes register that at all as I know, as a person on the autism spectrum, that some research (zzz....:rotfl:) seemed to show that people with autism may perceive motion twice as fast as those without. The person with autism does perceive the world wholly differently to someone without (look - I could go on and on, about when someone with autism goes into a room and sees everything, and everything, and the pattern on the carpet, as I've mentioned before, but that's the support for that and I'm sure if you're interested "The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome" by Tony Attwood and material by the National Autistic Society provide more detail on this!:rotfl:). Thanks folks - a final goodnight!!:wave: (Added here after the post below:rotfl::rotfl:.)

    (...Maybe the above linked article (you should read it in full) illuminates how people perceive displayed prices and affects how much money they are/aren't saving? Hmm, I don't know.) I'd rather know the reality of pricing (how much something truly is a rip-off) - maybe Mr Sainsbobs wants us to know the perception.
    how comes my boys go to get something from their room & come down 5 minutes later saying they can't find it when it was right in plain sight the whole time? :rotfl:
