Oh, that's ages ago - I'd forgotten about that!
Don't get me onto how digital is a much inferior system - about how the commercial radio industry bodies were promoting the "quality" of digital before it's launch despite the vast majority of people being unable to detect any difference, in some cases the quality being inferior and 'you either get it or you don't' - in some areas, there would be no signal at all now, rather than at least there was a crackly FM reception available previously (or actually better than crackly, very audible even if only got that in mono - but I think there was more availability of channels in the past - can we still be a DX'er today?:think: I doubt it). And now the number of channels on digital that, to cut costs, have been changed to a mono-only signal anyway. Plus the fact the BBC clock was out by 5 seconds yesterday (5 seconds too slow) - I think the digital signal takes longer to reach us!:rotfl:

My view still is that it is an inferior system that we (the viewers/listeners) were forced to adopt. I don't accept any of the claims that were made about it at the time - yet again I refuse to believe the marketing and I think that people generally were hoodwinked by being informed to believe something untrue, by the advertising again. Very easy with such a stupid population:rotfl:.

Savvy I do love your indepth replies
Makes me go off to google and start reading up on things I hadn't even thought about
What I don't get is if one of our tellies still has the channels on the old numbers as we didn't retune it (just read up on freeview, it says channels will still be available where they were), why where they moved in the first place :think:

Hello Sal
Hope your feeling better?

Yes.I'm ok thanks bubbs.I had a heavy cold or something.Felt dizzy as well and dreadful backache.

I've been thinking a lot and decided that it's a waste of my time posting most of the wombles because a lot of people now the game has changed are not doing comparison shops anymore.Buy a few udis or candles or toothbrushes.Throw in a few sweets.a banana,carrot etc and get up to £100 for nowt.

I don't know anything about it I'm afraid, until I go and take the time to read about it. Are channels still available where they were?

Thanks for the M comp., and, to update the M list it's the Avs T comp. that attracts my attention!:rotfl:

Yes Hessy's Hot Dogs, I had noticed them (instore). Made me wonder if I should be removing the Franky's Frankfurters from the M list. And, as the Hessy's I see are indeed a comparable item and compare vs T for 10% off, the answer is yes. So - stop buying Franky's 350g at £1 in M and buy Hessy's in A vs T!:rotfl:

EDIT: I assume Coca Cola really was bought at 2 for £3 on this receipt and not on old lower pricing but 2 for £3 has appeared?
