    Thanks, I didn't know that had gone on again.
    (It was that bogo'f' price a few weeks ago, it seems like, and then up to full prices.)
    On, off, on, off, on, off, back round again:mad:.

    Evangeline...if you don't like "changes", this situation here must be even more infuriating to you!

    However, I assume by "price changes" you meant price increases...

    No need to answer that, and onto... whatever is next!:cool
    :

    I will answer actually :p I meant changes in general, including price changes. I assume that people voted no because they weren't happy with the changes that would have occurred. If the yes voters had won then I would have had to learn what it was about since it may affect me and there are many other thing I'd prefer to spend my time googling :D

    :idea:
    ASDA Smartprice Soap (3x125g)35p vs Sains. 30p
    This is good vs Sains, as Morries (not showing on msm) is 35p.

    Meanwhile, SP Rubber Gloves are now vs 30p:eek: for S (were 24p then 25p) - well, I suppose one offsets the other:(.

    I will answer actually :p I meant changes in general, including price changes. I assume that people voted no because they weren't happy with the changes that would have occurred. If the yes voters had won then I would have had to learn what it was about since it may affect me and there are many other thing I'd prefer to spend my time googling :D

    But are people happy with the "changes" that will occur from the "No" vote I wonder? We are told there will be changes. However, I suspect virtually no-one has a clue as to what those changes are actually going to be. I certainly don't. At least with independence, arguably the change would have been clear - namely that the country would be an independent country (aside from the point about whether a country that kept 'someone else's' currency could be truly "independent"). We are now in a totally muddled and unclear situation, IMO. I don't want to go over issues now that have already been raised before and now voted on. As it is a "No", presumably you still have to learn what that is all about as the changes, whatever they are, from that still affect you?:think: (I just wonder.)

    I know some people 'don't like change'. I would have been prepared for, and happy with, a change that was independence. It would also certainly have been 'interesting', though the situation now, with a "No" vote and watching things that are currently going in on the political world, is interesting.

    You mean PP creator? T vs Sains?
    I did find a couple of items for Tvs S (not that anyone has much left from £12.00 vs £3.00, as cap at £10). Bic 1 Sensitive Razors (10) was one - £1.40 vs 93p - not that that is any good price, and the other, whatever it was now, had a much bigger difference (£2.50 difference possibly) - yeah, Lucozade Energy Original 10x380ml (£5.49 vs £3.00 - Tvs S) - just remembered what I'd seen and it was, indeed, nearly £2.50:T:j (not that I found it that long ago:rotfl: - good short-term memory maybe:rotfl::rotfl:) but not to be put with Calgon if you don't want losing to the cap. I've no idea about any trial btw in T or elsewhere:o.

    1 x Total 0% Fat Authentic Greek Yogurt (170g) £1.00 £0.75

    Yes they are, thanks for reminding me:T. I go for S/P Wheat Bisks though, Avs M, not that I can 'go' for them at all now given that I already have one too many:o:rotfl::rotfl:. Personally I can see no need at all for CBY Wheat Bisks. Real expensive, when S/P Wheat Bisks (24) are 75p.

    So, make your own decision as to whether it is worth it. Unless, with some trial, it is paying you to take it away.

    ("The ASA understood that the claim was intended to refer to the benefit of using Calgon compared to not using a water softener, and we considered that that was how the claim would be interpreted by consumers.":think: So, exactly the same benefit using any water softener, including own brand ones that are normally way way cheaper, as using Calgon - and people pulled in by the brand name maybe?:think:)
