    It's been suggested I should start a new thread. I'm afraid I have to decline the offer. Others can then ask that I start a new thread and then we can have a puzzling societal ritual under which it becomes acceptable for me to say yes and start a new thread anyway. Even though doing exactly that straight off would have been the same outcome but somehow not acceptable. (However, I should not have told you any of this as that's not on!:rotfl:)

    I think that, in the spirit of the Elite, it seems best (but then I am a terrible judge of mood:o) to start a thread at around 9,000 posts this time to reflect the reduced size/weight of various packages that we now have to contend with. Then I can introduce a '10% extra free' on the next thread (even though, from 9,000, that doesn't quite get you back to 10,000:rotfl::rotfl:) but give you absolutely nothing anyway as I can stop participating on the next thread (whoever's it is) after post 9,000!:D:D:rotfl::rotfl:

    You don't do enough for my vote get back to Morrison s slacker

    Evening everyone,

    I rushed out for the magazine and found 3 stars and a heart :j, in my rush I didnt carry on reading and just found out I need to spend £20 cash and then another £20 to get £20 off :( I instantly thought oooo spend £20 get £20 off = free but no :(:(:(. I have a policy of unless it's 75% off or more I wont buy. I have got a heart one but a little dissapointed. But thanks for bringing it over I did spot it on the dark side but looked past it :rotfl:
