    A little matter I would like advice on. I have just started at a local firm and the postman who delivers there is a past colleague of my husband. When they worked together this chap and his brother made a lot of trouble for oh at work which ended in oh trying to take his life. He was an alcoholic at the time which i admit contributed but a lot of what they did contributed too. The brother was emplyed by my new firm for 8 years but was sacked last year for stealing. I really cant stand either of them but the postman is obviously a favourite with my boss so I did not mention anything.
    But the boss told me yesterday that when i do the post just to put local letters in envelopes without stamps as this postman takes them into the office and gets other postmen to deliver them foc. I was amazed as this bloke thinks he is so much better than my husband. I told oh and he said what he is doing is basically a sackable offence as it is depriving Royal Mail of income. He told me to keep quiet but am so tempted to shop him. I wont but what does anyone think. OH was a good postman and even though he had problems with the drink it never affected his job and he never did anything he was not supposed too.

    I am sure that you knew this already, but if you search for the specific item you can see some of the Out of Stock items on MSM. So for example, searching Oat So Simple Original does not show the 10 pack - searching Oats So Simple Original 10 pack does. Likewise Cook Italian Chopped shows the hidden item.

    May be of no use whatsoever or may help us understand MSM/APG more.

    But if that works and we can find something worth buying, the same principle may work for the items missing on 3 for £6 cereal (Shredded Wheat Orchard fruits missing OOS at the moment 7613034087881_250000_IDShot_4.jpeg, as is 000989.jpg?v=5). A reasonable comparison is 000855.jpg?v=5 £2.79 A v £1.39 S or Krave Chocolate Hazelnut 153548.jpg?v=6 £2.78 A v £1.39 or Kellogs Crunchy Nut 000896.jpg?v=6 500g £2.68 A v £1.34 S). Only a hunch, we don't need any of these so no need for me to try :A. Still works out at around £3 for 3 boxes which isn't cheap.

    Hi everybody


    I have had a look and cannot find this but is the A's online APG cap of £100 per calendar month or is it worked out differently.


    Would really appreciate some help as I really cannot find the answer.


    Take care
