Regarding possible M vs T, I'd rather this when back up in price in M but sadly T's price is due to go back up well before 1st March (unless it's rolled over and rolled over):
Jucee Orange Squash with No Added Sugar (3L)
[Strike]£2.75[/Strike] £1.50 5p / 100ml Valid until 01/03/2015
[Strike]£2.75[/Strike] £1.37
Indeed I was dismayed when I saw M's price had gone down to £1.50 (not the least because previous offer was £1.37), given that it seemed I may be doing more M&M shops in M at that time.
By contrast, the Sugar (or is it now Honey?) Puffs 625g have gone back up to £3.25 in M:T, but sadly they are also at that high price in T at the moment. I could do, or could have done, with the Orange Juice not being put on offer in M and with the Sugar Puffs being put onto 'half price' in T. Sort of 65% price based on historic pricing (half price was £1.24 somewhat before, nowadays it is £1.62:().
And these:
Cadbury Hot Chocolate Sponge Puddings (2x110g)
[Strike]£2.00[/Strike] £1.33 60.5p / 100g Valid until 15/02/2015
[Strike]£2.00[/Strike] £1.00
are not that good, given that they are on offer in M and therefore loss money from the M&M, whilst at the same time being low enough but not actually as low as £1 to help avoid a price match and be more likely to be offset elsewhere in most people's baskets that include them I feel. Of course the 'match' is on the overall comparable basket price. It has to be, otherwise none of these stores could let people have every item they buy for its cheapest price. People more generally (that is not the Elite!) might be taken by the offer of the puddings at £1.33 however, particularly as most people have no clue as to what lowest prices are on almost all items and may think an offer of £1.33 is good.
Maybe there are people that think the current price on the 320g Apricots pack in A is good. I've just seen that earlier. £3!:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl: They're having a laugh - these were £1 earlier last year and the 300g version have recently been 99p in M. For some reason, these don't compare on the APG to my knowledge - and they don't appear to be 99p anymore in M this week. I do not think that, if they still stock them, they will be as high as £3 in M though!:eek: I'm looking foward to seeing them on a womble:rotfl::rotfl:.(:eek::rotfl:) Bought by those that have absolutely no sense, and are obviously incapable of looking after their own means.
Alright, folks, on that, goodnight!!:)0 -

My sister and I did what we knew dad liked to see, black.
Mum bought a black mac as her coat is red but compared with other non family attending he red coat would have looked classy. My boys (why we will never know) wore charcoal suits but with blue ties. Nicely Co ordinated at least.
Obviously dad's sisters were in black but not all their family.
What surprised me was it was the oldest generation who did not wear formal attire. Most wore tweed of some sort and looked more in their Sunday Best
Not everyone wore black tie or even any tie.
Friend said the same. His father was a close friend of Churchill grandson and he was very unusually clothed for the occasion.
Are people becoming more lax about funeral couture. Is it because we do not seem to go to that many. Is it not worth the outlay.
Dad had a dark charcoal grey suit over which he would wear a very expensive wool coat not dissimilar to one you see on a door man. Cronby or is that the hat.
Dad wore the same coat for over 50 years as bought when my brother died.
Because he dressed that way we were determine to keep up standards.
My friend said the same, he wouldn't feel comfortable in anything other than dark suit and coat.
I know you have left now but I hope that after the grief the day gives you some new strength.
Let's face it we have taste and class and do things correctly.
Something to add to your speech when battling for PM.
saying that I have been to a humanist funeral with no black. Was as special as we all wore a different colour from head to toe.

Good morning all
I wonder if it's because we are starting to view funerals as a celebration of life rather than the somber affairs they used to be.
Don't particularly care what people wear to my funeral just as long as they come to the after party and enjoy. I am having a firework display to see me off and getting ashes put in a shell to be fired high in the sky and scattered to four winds0 -
Good morning everyone. DD's birthday today. Taking 6 11 year olds to Pizza Hut and then the pictures to see Into the Woods. Big spend day for me today but it's only once a year. Hope you all have a great Saturday.
