    My shop this evening included 2 bars of Cadburys whole nut choc. 2 for £3 at sada.
    Discount not showing on APG so compares to W at full price of £2 each = £4, but discount is showing on sada receipt as 'confectionary 2 for £3'.
    Another unexpected return on a normal shop

    Im just glad I don't know if I can throw a punch or not :cool::rotfl::rotfl: I can honestly say I have never tried or wanted to. As for cooking eggs three different ways......I know you can but I personally haven't :o

    We are all different and how boring would it be if we weren't
    ? :)

    But not being able to change a tyre is a serious disability in modern life? It's not a matter of boring or interesting or of being different.

    I can throw a punch but I haven't actually thrown one.

    As for the light-changing, it's an issue I feel of my lacking in dexterity there. It's a very fine (i.e. extremely extremely mild) motor skill problem there. In other words, to such an extent that it hardly amounts to a disability as such because it's almost normal but only very infinitesimally not. I can't peel potatoes properly either - apart from often having them slip out of my hand:(:mad:, I've always preferred using the 'Value' peelers and just ripping the skin off the potatoes rather than proper peeling. I never thought about it much as a child or younger adult (not being diagnosed with AS) - I was disagnosed as an adult and, after having been, it is now clear it is related to that. That aspect of it isn't what I'd call a disability in itself though. That said, not being able to get the light bulb to click in and be changed is hardly an extremely extremely mild problem. It's a major one, that means you aren't able to do the task at all (or at least not properly and without great difficulty - of trying and trying and trying to make it click in but failing and, after a while, then giving up entirely). It's a mild mild motor problem (very unnoticeable) - except that, in that respect, it's a very severe effect and, without wanting to exaggerate the difficulty (that isn't really that much), it's actually, in that sense, quite profound.
