I'm still about, but just wanted to add my agreement here. I have seen today for example people asking a question and yet the very answer they need was one or two posts back.
Other people cannot make out lists of what item is v which shop. For goodness sake, what do they want? A full ruddy shopping list.


Most Eliters live with list upon list upon list. We have to do it lest we forget.


I don't mind helping if I know the answer but when the same people put forward the same request, time and again, I wanna stamp my foot and say 'please look back to previous page'


Rant over

You should be asleep :eek:

Have to agree with you though. People go to the trouble of posting info and it is just ignored and passed by. The same question about Cashback apps was posted a ridiculous amount of times today, the answer was on several pages.

My bugbear is people who come on and say......Im busy, kids blah blah blah can anyone tell me what's glitching. Sorry folks but it is. We all have busy lives and we all have to look and see what's going on.

If you want it badly enough you'll find it

Oh god no, I don't do travelling anymore :eek: Living literally just around the corner from Sada and my place of work being just over a mile away I've become very lazy when it comes to travelling

Morries comparison for MCs

So, the Jelly Popping one worse!

:(I don't know why I bother - a load of useless items being bought! The Anchor cheese made it lose out a lot vs every other competitor. And they are now switching to the 1Kg Can't Believe spreads, now that the price on the SEL has increased.

7 items (6 different) on your bill qualify for comparison Morrisons

+£1.00
1 x ASDA Chosen by You Tiramisu (500g)£2.00£2.25
2 x ASDA In-Store Baked Freshly Sliced White Hedgehog ...£1.00£1.00
1 x Sharwood's Lamb Biryani (360g)£1.00£1.00
1 x Bisto Beef Lasagne (375g)£1.00£1.00
1 x Anchor Extra Mature Cheddar (350g)£2.00N/A
1 x ASDA Smartprice Ready to Serve Custard (385g)£0.17£0.17
1 x ASDA Smartprice White Toilet Tissue - 200 Sheets p...£1.00N/A
1 x I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light Spread (1Kg)£2.00£2.75
Comparison total (compared products only)£7.17£8.17

People in general - they are, as I put it, "under the misguided impression that the 1Kg spreads work out cheaper". Not for the first time that people generally turn out to be completely misguided and mistaken in their beliefs (even assuming they ever think about their own beliefs). Yet - if you explained to people how the other size works out cheaper, they would not believe you, would deny what you were saying and would claim you can't get it any cheaper. (I presume - I had a similar experience to that in the past, although I can't say that I can attribute the response I got as being the same response I would get from every person who doesn't do Elite shopping. At least I'm honest there - and correct:D and completely non-misguided again!:D:D Possibly. Allegedly:o:rotfl:. In which case - that addition of the "allegedly" has made it correct once again:p:p:rotfl::rotfl::D:cool:)

Oh so it's a matter of opinion!

But, I suspect, you're not writing completely accurately - the same as most people are not technically accurate on every word - and really you just mean "No, sarcasm is very obvious". Or, probably, I'm being inaccurate because I have read the word "the" in there - i.e. "the sarcasm is obvious" (namely it's in relation to the sarcasm in locarr's post).

I don't know, I think I do tend to get sarcasm in the real world - there's tone of voice to tell, but then again I do find it difficult (or even impossible) to work out people's intentions sometimes. It does make me very vulnerable. I probably ought not to say this as it now allows other people, in that knowledge, to take advantage of that fact and deliberately say things in order to try to get me to make a social mistake. (I won't always realise that people are being deliberate...)

The sarcasm in locarr's post was absolutely not obvious whatsoever. Completely the opposite, for me. I did not detect it was there at all. It may be "obvious" to you, but it is (was) not clear, or obvious, at all to me. I don't know how you imputed a tone of voice into the way in which you read what had been written.

Correct - I have to go by words rather than facial expressions, although tone of voice (albeit minus a decisive facial expression, unless totally totally obvious - i.e. a smile is happy, a pulled face is sad. Beyond that... nothing!) would normally allow me to detect sarcasm. Or maybe I misunderstand... maybe I "get" humour in the sense of laughing at comedy - and seem to be laughing at the jokes the same as other people and getting the same thing (or more or less) but that's not the same as sarcasm. You can also have sarcastic humour.:think:

I am writing accurately as I know it and see it.

I will share with you an observation about humour (I was saving this for my book....so feel honoured )

DS2 a few years back got very interested in watching Little Britain. So much so I bought him seasons 1-4 on DVD. Id sit downstairs and listen to him absolutely hooting with laughter at them, and it pleased me because something I thought was funny.....he thought was funny too. A connection? a sense of humour shared?

That was shattered when during season 3, episode 2 he came down with a revelation. He'd just realised that David Walliams and Matt Lucas played all the characters in all the episodes.......:eek: to this day, I still do not know, other than that how he could find it so funny?

He watched 3 and a bit series and didn't realise the same people played all the characters :eek: and I still don't know what he was laughing so much at

........humour really is funny!

Yes I can relate to that, because I miss plotlines in everything. I find individual jokes within them funny (ha-ha) though. Maybe detail again and missing gist? (The initiated people will know what I mean!)

Ah, but the trouble is they need the list to get the ago. So rather than take notes, what better than ask for a complete run down of what's glitching where and what else can they put with it to optimise the return.
Yep, plain lazy!!!! I have cleared my desk of all my lists. Found some for glitches 2 months ago lol.

On that note, I'm gone, good night x

So far I've only used a.com to do CC's, with msm does the basket just get transferred to a.com or does msm do the booking a slot and putting the order in part ?

Sorry for the late reply munqui, I think you can book a slot through msm if you want to but I never do. I generally sign in to a.com to book a slot, sign out again as I think it can cause probs if you stay signed in when shopping through msm. Then go to msm to do a shop, I check for cashback deals as well as comparing the prices then send the basket to a.com. The slot you originally booked should still be there as long as you haven't taken longer than 2 hours to complete the shop. Sounds much longer winded than it actually is hth.

Goddnight all :wave:

Shopping result due at about 2am. In the meantime, thank you FC for providing me with societal protection!:)
