    Something has just occurred to me...

    Maybe this new site is still running on GMT, and therefore 1 hour behind?

    This would indicate that it's not ready to roll out yet and therefore unintended that people can see it? :think:

    Well, I get up much later than you and I'm still knackered, so don't know how you manage getting up that early! :o

    Kids both had interviews this evening at Virgin for lifeguarding jobs. Fingers crossed they both get them (although then I probably will have to haul myself out of bed as they could start at 6.30am. :eek:

    Get used to it:eek:
    Fingers crossed for them :D , not for you:eek::rotfl:

    Please please please please please watch The Last Leg on catch up if you can, Nick Clegg (brave man) and Piers Morgan (I have to agree with him on one thing, even he doesn't deserve to be locked up with Katie Hopkins forever).

    Congratulations on becoming a grandad Zippy, though why am I hearing Clive Dunn 'Grandad we love you...'

    Snap loving the knitted biblical scenes.

    I love The Last Leg, it's one of my favourite shows ever :D

    Since the stars in Scotland didn't want to play ball, last night I had a go near where I live with better results than my previous attempt. Just wish I had stayed out longer as I thought conditions were against me. 595 images have just been run through a simple programme to see what was there ;) image is a bit degraded because I have saved for web but can't wait to stack the images in photoshop for a better result but composition is still off.....

    I wonder if it will change the results of my wombles that I haven't printed:eek:

    I'm dithering if to print the big ones.

    I would like simon to win masterchef.

    Don't know but I'd probably go and check any single purchase of Strawberries ones on the new site if I were you. Might give a voucher where the old one would not:rotfl: - instead of shortchanging you on the strawberries vs M.

    I had a look in M again earlier (happened to be already there) and they are 227g on 2 for £3 in M, so well below 400g. Don't know what's happening on the purchase of two matching the mbuy, on the old site only, as seems to be more 'generous' than it should, whilst it seems they still have the 300g (even that outside of the weight range but they have still linked it up to 400g:(, and adjusted its price upwards to 400g:(:() weight as being on their system and seem to have seen 2 for £3 still on but not noticed the pack size change.

    I think. Maybe there's some 400g or 300g ones in M, I don't know. Or they could have different sizes in other stores (that situation did happen when I went to Wrexham; they did not have the Plums at all that I had in my stores and, therefore, possibly a reason for why they go N/A).

    I did notice a change in the T&Cs on this - or maybe a change in the wording (may or may not be an actual change in practice) - on the new site - it now says that, where there are weight differences, the prices will be so as to be fair and not give any competitor an advantage. It did say adjusted for weight, but now refers to being fair and not giving an artificial advantage. Whatever either of those might mean. After all, on T PP, T does not adjust prices at all but makes a straight price match (where it matches at all), because it considers that adjusting the prices is not fair. This shortchanges you when the competitor is slightly higher weight or size than T. It works in your advantage if the competitor is lower weight - therefore, you should only ever buy in T if T is higher weighted (indeed should buy in T there as get more than the competitor, for the same price - as long as it is matched and to the correct price).

    There are another couple of changes - no reference any more to any £15 trigger to check if vouchers have been correctly calculated. Therefore, it seems they have the right to withdraw the APG if vouchers are not correctly calculated. Could mean they no longer honour glitches, however I suspect it will be much the same as usual: depends on your SA.

    Also, 'glitches' where the items are all visible and return at full price may be incorrect calculations, but if it is a trigger item (i.e. invisible) then that item, as per the T&Cs, is excluded from the APG because it's not on a.com (or msm) - as a result of their own exclusion, and their own decision to exclude, the comparison is, I would say, calculated correctly - how can it be calculated any other way?

    The other difference I notice is that they no longer give change on vouchers if spending less than the value of the voucher. Apparently you used to be able to get change at the CS, but I never did and I doubt many people invoked that (I doubt that the CSs would have been widely aware of it or as to how to process it) - this changed on the previous revision of the T&Cs and the practical position has been no change given for some time, the new T&C I think simply puts it beyond doubt.

    New term 8: "If the value of the ... voucher is greater than what you need to pay for your shop, you will not receive any change or credit in respect of any unused portion of the voucher during the transaction. ..."

    In any event, the simple solution is to spend more on the shop so that you are able to use the full value of the voucher.

    Also, the changes to "independent external agencies" as noted earlier.

    If it really was "unintended", then I would hope that they would remove it, as it's the only one I can now gain access to:(. The links via "Sada receipt" also led to the new site for me.
