    Me thinks the competition winner might be getting a slap on the butt.
    I've got the email too, never mind, gotta be in it to win it

    I was thinking the same thing, if the code was only given out to one person, I'm guessing they'll probably get it revoked after this!

    Ooooaaaaah noooooaaaaaaaoooo.

    Dear PD,

    I am very sorry for the cancellation of your order.

    The voucher used was created for a competition for one-person to win £40 to spend towards their trainers in the Great North Run and linked with CashforKids.

    This voucher was intended for a single use as the competition prize and was not available for usage by others. We certainly did not intend this one off voucher prize to be used by our entire customer base and did not make it available ourselves other than to the competition winner. As such I hope that you will understand that we cannot complete orders made using the incorrect application of the competition voucher code.

    You will be refunded within the next seven business days depending on your bank.

    We very much apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Already off the phone with my solicitor.

    He reckons I've got a strong case.

    Just need to pay him a cheque for £16,756.89.

    My friends hubby (well ex hubby now) spent £200,000 on a sports car, he parked it in the drive way so everyone could see it.... it was stolen
    I know I should not :rotfl: but I could not help it!

    'Schadenfreude' - there should be an English equivalent.:D

    I don't want to worry you, SSM, but someone who enjoys schadenfreude probably has a over-active basal ganglia:eek:

    Why £0.25?


    8 items (7 different) on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Tesco

    CheaperSignBlue.gif+£0.46
    0.47 x ASDA Bananas by Weight per kg£0.32£0.31
    2 x ASDA Semi Skimmed Milk 6 Pints (3.41L)£2.96£2.96
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Cola (2L)£0.42£0.89:(:(
    1 x ASDA Spring Greens (500g)£0.75£0.75:( (Was 49p for M, now no longer)
    2 x ASDA Tiger Tails Baguette£1.00N/A
    1 x ASDA Dairy Fudge (200g)£0.85N/A
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Still Water (2L)£0.17£0.17
    1 x ASDA Apple Pie£1.00£1.00 (Was 90p for Sains, but not any longer)
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Freshly Frozen Button Sprouts (...£1.00£1.00:( (Was 75p at both A and T a while ago, so no longer buying these ever again until they go back to that price (or lower!))
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Turkey Breast Slices (140g)£1.38N/A (too expensive IMO)
    Comparison total (compared products only)£6.62£7.08

    The Tiger Baguette went 75p vs Morries for one earlier. Now... ah, that explains why: M is now 2 for £1.00 as comparing to £1.00 M mbuy on that. So, that's --- a price staying the same therefore as now having to buy two. No good as A mbuy being picked up:(.

    Why 25p? Why 25p, indeed? Essentially because they bought the Cola on that shop:p - that's "why"!!:(. Message is (received by me but doubtless not by any muggles that may have (been unlikely to have) checked) do not buy CBY Cola on a shop where comparable items are same price or cheaper in T.

    We are living sprout-less until further notice btw!!:):rotfl:

    No CCTV?

    No tracker?

    Not garaged?

    :eek::eek:

    All I remember is being told, and rolling around on the floor laughing so hard. It was a few years ago, as my friend is now happy with another chap.

    My DS3 came in yesterday, and said he had reversed a £140,000 car....

    My OH had a £500 budget for his last car!

    I can see why people can spend £50.000 on a car but when it gets into £200,000 - £1,000,000 seriously just get a padded codpiece ;)

    What car can you get for £50?

    Apart from this one?
