since the big ambrosia glitch APG doesn't recognise "cheapest item free type" deals incase they apply the wrong cheapest price

They do however honour BOGOFs, 3 for 2s SO LONG AS the price is the same for everything in the competitor and there is no confusion over which priced item should be free. NOTE: it doesn't matter if the items you buy are all priced the same in the competitor...if there is ANYTHING in the promo that is priced differently whether you bought it or not the prices will return as N/A

Just to add to the confusion, they do match 2 for £2, 3 for £3 etc as the final price is known to be £2 or £3 regardless of which items you buy in the promotino[sic:rotfl:]

it's a bit weird but hopefully this will help you with your lightbulb moment

Right, I didn't come back here tonight to talk about my (in the good-sense) autism (although I'm sure it's one of those subject matters that still, if touched on, will get me talking constantly and incessantly about:D).

I came back intending to reply to this. And I now do so::rotfl:

Equally the contrary can happen, in our 'favour'. It doesn't matter if the competitor has a wider range than Mr A. If all the individual prices on the items in the competitor's offer are the same, then they will still compare to the bogo'f' on the APG even if A does not stock all of them.

For example if Energizer High Tech Battery AA (4) are £4.00 or any 2 for 1 in T, and Energizer Ultimate High Tech AAA (4) are also £4.00 and on the same 2 for 1 in T (and, in this example, there are no other items in that offer), then the purchase of 2x Energizer High Tech Battery AA (4) in A will compare on the comp. against T vs the bogo'f'', even though A does not stock Energizer Ultimate High Tech AAA (4). At least I hope I'm right that it would:o.

(Although, in fact, Mr A does stock both different battery packs, making my example ruined:(, but the general point I was aiming at in it is valid - I hope(:o:o).)

Oh savvy, you do make me laugh. I love your "aspergerese"

I think there's a lot of it about, a bit like old English to read, me thinks

so I have stopped blushing now and can admit my first visit to the gym on Sunday was very embarrassing!

Did induction at a small local gym but membership allows use of all council gyms.....so I decided to be brave and visit the bigger gym as it has a better pool - wanted to swim too.

So, parked the car with no major drama, dropped my bag in a big puddle and tripped up the step......but it was early sunday morning so noone saw right?

In I go......say to receptionist I would like to use gym and pool.....she points without looking and says 'gym up there pool over there' ...great thanks

up the stairs I go watched by all the people already in the gym on treadmills/bikes/weights through massive glass walls (why do gyms all need to have so much glass and SO many mirrors???and why are so many people in there at 730 on a sunday morning???)....straight ahead I see the gym doors.......so I push .....oh not opening....push the other one......ah locked......hmmmmm......oh entry thing on wall......swipe my card- nothing......swipe again .....nothing.....turn card over.....flashes green - quickly push door- darn it too slow......swipe again (by this time I have gained a new audience of gym members who are obviously bored with their machines!) push wrong door......swipe again (now blushing ) at last I gain entry to the gym :T:T

walk through second set of doors (without incident) look around.....hmmmmm where are the changing rooms???:mad:
Ask some random bloke ....he says 'back out there along corridor'.....ah ffffiddlesticks only just got in and have to go out again.......sure I heard a snort of giggles from the gym residents!

Now I walk back out towards doors that gave me so much trouble 30 seconds before.......I knew they were locked but tried them anyway - must be a release button eh?? turn to left and there on the wall next to me is a switch - push it CS !!!!!:T:T:T





lights went out :o:o:o


I quickly turn the lights back on ......by this time I think some gym residents fell of their machines, weak from laughing- I just stood there mortified!

Random bloke gets off his weight machine thingy ...and presses another button to let me out - I havent even reached the !!!!!!! changing rooms yet!!!!

changing rooms- another swipe entry door.....mastered that one - I have become an expert by now!!!

Sit in changing rooms with head in hands deciding to go home:o:o:o trust me only the fact I have paid for this membership kept me there !

Managed the treadmill ok then tried the crosstrainer......struggled to climb on it (short legs!) then stood there pressing buttons to my hearts content .....nothing.....pushed some more buttons ...still nothing.....another gym resident takes pity and stops laughing long enough to tell me I have to start moving my feet to make it start......I mean really??? I just want to go home now!!!

We both know that if you use the (up to) £40 points code that it makes the wine almost free, so why even consider not buying

Don't tempt me please. :rotfl:

I think if another box arrives I will definitely be in trouble.

But almost free wine....;)
