We've had two crane flies inside tonight, I killed two last night. Sorry crane fly lovers but they are just THE WORST. All legs and they always come at you! I hate this time of year. When do they go away again?

why kill them, they are easily caught in the hand and put outside, not really the worst of creepy crawlies.

Thanks LFAB.

The only bit I am disappointed with is the floors as have a ridge in my room from the old meeting the new but it's not a palace so not worth spending anymore to have whole floor skimmed.

Got an email:D:rotfl::rotfl::(.

"At Sainsbury's we've been changing the way we set our prices," it reads. "We'll continue to give you great deals across the store but we've also been rolling out lower regular prices on 1,000s of everyday products," and then it claims "That way you won't have to wait for a deal to get a good price on the products you love."

Obviously sceptical here:rotfl:.

:(Not happy about 'lower' regular prices - regular "everyday" prices are way too expensive as they are able to sustain them all the time. Merely 1,000 of items? I would have expected tens of thousands! (In fact, I wouldn't: but not to expect anything good - thousands sounds a lot but, as I already mentioned, it represents a fraction of a large store's full inventory.)

"A good deal and a good regular price" apparently, it says in relation to some Fairy 34 dishwasher tablets. I suppose "good" is subjective. It's comparing against T, saying T's regular price now is £12 and their deal (of course it isn't on at the moment) was £6. Sains has "regular price" £8 and deal of £6 - ongoing until 7/10/14, of course S's email trying to sell it to you as it is an advertisement - implication perhaps hurry - offer expiring 7/10.

Firstly, about the 'regular price' of £8, I wouldn't think a price of £8 was "good" at all. In fact, I'd view that as very bad price indeed, given that it is £2 more expensive that when it's on a 'deal'. So, in fact, *no* regular price is good at all (under my view). However I assume it is general people's pricing perceptions:( that matter and not mine! As people generally have no clue as to what a good price is...

As for the "good deal" price of £6 - gosh that's really expensive!:eek::eek: It is over 17 and a half pence per tablet. The highest price I would ever go for, and that at an absolute push if completely desperate and if I had ran totally out of stock, is 12p per tablet. And it's hardly as if these are any special dishwasher tablets. "Ultra Power" they claim - mmm, well, that's just promotional wording - I doubt any legislation determines what is "Ultra" nor controls what can or can not be described by that word.

I note the small print, though to be fair it's not that small: "*Regular price defined as the non promotional price. Tesco last deal price checked 19th Aug, current regular price from 20th Aug checked via Brand View and in 3 Tesco stores on 26th Sept. Fairy Dishwasher Tablets, Lemon x34. Selected larger stores & availability. Sainsbury's offer ends 7th Oct."

Hmmm...so Sains (or, more likely, their agents) were in three T stores? Perhaps they saw lots of offer prices of really good low price there, that they didn't like to match, and thus are pulling T from the BM promotion.

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/sep/25/sainsburys-asda-brand-match-tesco-price-war
"Analysts said Sainsbury’s - which is expected to report a sales downturn of up to 4% in a second quarter trading update next week - was preparing for potentially aggressive price cuts from its much bigger rival, ..."

(I'm no expert - I think I therefore believe the 'analysts', as that suggests that they are experts, even though the Guardian doesn't specifically attribute which analysts are linked with saying S is preparing for possible aggressive price cuts from T, presumably it is the two immediately mentioned afterwards, or maybe all of the three mentioned in the article or maybe I am missing the gist again:rotfl:.)

The article mentions giving "mixed messages". To be fair though, there has always been a "mixed message" in, for example, the APG - with A saying "you're better off..." by referring to prices on the same items at another named store as, of course, the public generally, who do not see the way of money-saving by using glitches and paying more expensively in order to beat rivals' prices and who think about it very simplistically, of course if they advertised A £1.70 and T £1.00 wouldn't most people go to T? - so they can't do that - and yet, at the same time as advertising the "you're better off...", by mentioning, as all stores do, more expensive prices elsewhere, they also advertise, usually separately?, the APG which works the opposite way, so a "mixed message" there"!

They'll all always cheaper than the others, on the products they are advertising, and always cutting prices and never ever increasing them:rotfl: - that's if anyone were to believe the impression of the advertising generally! Perhaps 'the truth' is the flipside of this impression - namely that they are all really expensive on everything except the few items which they are promoting and running as loss-leading:rotfl::rotfl:. They're all as expensive as each other!:eek:
