Everyone Loves Inacurate Transactions Everyday, (as long as they are in our favour)

What a con - I think I saw some jeans the other day at a fiver. I now needed some today and found they are now £6 individual price and any 2 for £10. Seems like increase the individual price and then put an mbuy onto them so that people think they are saving money and then have them paying twice over. :idea:Maybe in a couple of weeks they will be "Was £6, now £5", so maybe best to wait, when they can then legally say they are cheaper based on a price comparison to their own previous price as it's legal to compare against single unit purchases. So people think they are saving £1. Although I'll think I'm just getting them at the same price as before.

This sort of thing does, of course, happen on groceries and it seems sadly some of the new offers on Wednesday are merely roll-forwards (unadvertised as such of course) to match the higher prices that competitors are already on. Some it appears are going up from current prices to higher priced mbuys, matching those that competitors are already charging. I don't think this helps - as need new higher prices to be picked up and yet somehow buy on the old price. Unfortunately the Mug Shots On The Go, for example, that may be going onto 2 for £1.50:eek::eek:, and which may compare to M at 50p on the next update, sadly they are currently 50p each in A.

Anyway, I'd better go - more things to sort out tomorrow!:wave:

Is there a techie around please?

Trying to save showbox films to sd card but refuses to let me. Can move other things over just not showbox.

Not a problem to delete movie after watching but bought a 32 sd card to store them on.

Any help would be greatly received.

Not sure what device you're using, but I used es file manager on my Samsung tab before it got broken, pretty sure it let you move them to the sd card.

Yes that's what I am using but if I click on showbox it will not give storage as an option. I wondered if there was a way round this in downloads.
It's a right pain as bought card for movie storage, run out of space on hard drive and want to download tango as will keep phone turned off while away due the the very high costs.

I thought it would allow me to store but something in showbox is stopping me. Does give an option to download movies directly to card either.

If I can't solve this does anyone know of a different site I can get movies from to store. Not worried longterm as will delete when watched.

Why do you say that please ?

Sorry for delay in replying - have been tied up all day. Memory foam mattresses I find v uncomfortable. I get really hot - almost as if I'm going to explode with the heat. I remove layers and then get cold. It's weird. Plastic under sheets have a similar effect. Before I realised what was happening I ended up sleeping on the floor. after that I found a spare blanket to put between the mattress and the bottom sheet. But I'd never have one at home!

Anyone else watching panorama?
I didn't think swearing was allowed on telly at this time of night? Although I may be wrong
They bleeped out one word but not another :think:

Not allowed to use that word before 9pm, as it's considered to be among "the most offensive language" and therefore there is an absolute ban on it before the watershed (rule 1.14 Ofcom Broadcasting Code, yes I did have to look up the rule number). However, ineffective bleeping is also potentially banned before the watershed, so it was still arguably in breach of that rule. It doesn't matter how much you bleep it - that word followed by "off" - you can remove/replace the entire audio, like replacing with four complete asterisks, and I would still know which word it is so it's still ineffective! (Indeed, he may - although I doubt it - have originally said something more mild but the bleep makes it appear to be of the supposedly more severe word.) Maybe they only consider ineffective bleeping if there is repeated use:think:, of course to me in theory it would make no difference as a breach of a rule is a breach of a rule no matter how minor and therefore, under my approach, any single use under any circumstances regardless of context would be absolutely and completely banned - actually I think it's a bad rule and therefore should be even more rigorously enforced, until the pips squeak, in order to show how bad it really is!

As to the other words, some of which are considered "mild", there is no absolute ban on those before 9pm and it was after, for example, about 7.30pm when younger children may go to bed (presumably [Strike]to watch the telly in their own bedrooms:rotfl:[/Strike], no - to go to bed early like good boys/girls to get up for school in the morning) and their use may be justified dependant on the context (whatever that may mean and I've absolutely no clue as I'm context-blind:p:rotfl:).

Of course it's all totally illogical as "some" swearwords are allowed but other swearwords are not (or words considered to be such by variant percentages of the population, since people disagree as to which words are and aren't) - so swearing is allowed but swearing is not allowed? (Dependant on the word - the blue pencil test!) It makes no sense. Nor is anything the rest of the world does supposed to I've concluded:rotfl:.

Anyway, thanks for the question. I'd better go - or, some delightful folks might have in a different world suggested, whatever that partially-bleeped phrase said ("partially" because I presume one completely bleeped word in it, though you never really know as you don't hear it like that and just think the word he's said anyway so not quite sure what was your mind and what was the audio, therefore one word bleeped, but the phrase (of two words) partially).

Goodnight! Whatever I'm going on about:rotfl:!

None of this was the point of the actual programme, I didn't think any of this at the time and purely because of the question now have I decided to answer it. I think most people wouldn't have been bothered and would have appreciated the overall thrust of the programme. Only the regulatory bodies are concerned about single words in broadcasts like this. (And teachers that swear all the time in normal conversation in staff rooms and parents of young children during more daytime hours.)

Maybe...as I now continue on to consider it, under the BBC Editorial Guidelines - the word was bleeped because it's use was not integral to the programme. In which case...why bleep it, just drawing attention to it and now making it integral to the programme when otherwise without it it would not have been? Different people however have different views and I suspect they also consider that and have to tread carefully.

Then again...as you've suggested, who on earth that really was bothered by swearing would yet still be okay with the words that were broadcast? Surely even the "milder" swearwords, that are allowed, would still be unacceptable to them? And there was no warning. Although - where's my warning about the bleeped language as I'm still potentially offendable by that? I think, actually, if the bleeped version had been a trigger, as in post-traumatic stress disorder trigger, a warning itself would have reminded me of the same thing and the warning would have itself have been a trigger, when you use the words "strong language" you might as well say what you mean! Who doesn't think the same "unacceptable" thing when it is described? May as well have said the same thing.

Btw, I wouldn't have been offended by an unbleeped programme, but I wasn't offended by the actual programme (in the time, place and company (lack of company) in which I saw and heard it) either. Neither did the reporter (who heard all of the actual language) appear to flinch, even though he was in a street. Then again, I saw no body language - as I always fail to - (and the programme as I saw it wasn't audio-described) so maybe I completely missed it - maybe most other viewers saw what that was.

Thanks for getting me completely off the subject of tax dodging btw.

Hi I thought I would let you all know what I have just been told in M by the store manager.

I bought 3 bottles of Hardys Stamp Shiraz Red wine which is giving away 1500 More points. On my receipt I got 7410 Match points (I bought tin foil as well so that may have adjusted the amount slightly), but no More points showed. I took Receipt to CS who were very friendly and helpful. They called over the store manager and he said that it sometimes takes up to 72 hours for them to appear but he said they will. He took my name and M&M balance and said come back next time I'm in and I will check your points for you.

I know I can do this myself but I wanted to act dumb. Anyway my point is, if your More points don't show up, be patient, they will!

Sounds interesting - what does that make them cost net please?

98p-15p = 83p.

Once the match and the 15p amounts to an exact £5 in points:rotfl:.

Or... £1.79, if it doesn't pick up A's price and if the system somehow doesn't award the More points either!:rotfl::rotfl:



...Or £1.75 if both the Match and the More fail and if I have the price slightly out:o:o - bit of confusion in my written notes, that I've tried (and now failed:p:p) to gloss over:rotfl:. Check whether A's price is about to increase(:eek:)!

Night night!:wave:
