    Is it just me.............. I have witnessed as few general elections to date, when did all this 'we can't mention the election until after 10pm' start?
    On polling day the BBC, in common with other broadcasters, will cease to report campaigns from 06.00 until the polls close. Coverage will be restricted to uncontroversial factual accounts, such as the appearance of politicians at polling stations or the weather. Subjects which have been at issue or part of the campaign, or other controversial matters relating to the election, must not receive coverage on polling day, to ensure that nothing in the BBC's output can be construed as influencing the ballot while the polls are open.

    I think it is because they cannot ensure that they provide equal billing to each party (in the time available) if news items come up which may favour one party or another. Hopefully nothing serious happens today as we may not find out about it until 10pm rather than every 15 mins!

    That said, we have heard all the arguments/comments/ideas/positions/pledges/policies* (*last one used loosely as it is all up in the air until we know who will be running the country and therefore which of their many policies they have a chance of implementing ... and which go out of the window if a coalition is required!) and now just need to decide.

    Please use your vote otherwise you may have five years of the the party that you don't want to run the country (or indeed, it may be just as bad if you do get the party that you want - there are no easy decisions ahead no matter which party wins as there is only so much money to go around).

    To aid our further understanding/not understanding new system
    h/d yesterday
    apg done just now : v T
    1x Garnier Moisture Match 24H Hydration Illuminating Light Lotion (50ML) £3.99 £1.99
    Ordered when 3.99
    a.com changed yesterday to £2 rollback before I got the order

    So the APG reflects the time you ordered, not the time you collected or the time that you produced your APG?

    Who knows, Anon, at the moment but I think if we all keep posting we will collectively figure it out in the end. I ordered when at 3.99 but t/c say final price is based on prices at time of picking/delivery and price then was £2 according to a.com.

    Checked against what though ... given they have two systems running which may produce two different results (and some people can access both, so it is not as if the store will be guaranteed to see the same result or system!).

    Good luck everyone in spending APGs at the moment - I have just checked my wallet and I have two dated mid month and the rest for the end of the month, so may test with the two earlier ones first and if my store are obliging then try to cash out now. If questionned, then give it a few weeks until this settles down a bit (and possibly the new system is fully implemented :().

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Wanted to happy scan some toys but no clubcard on us and can't get a hand scanner using T credit card much to mums disgust.

    V x

    Not sure if anyone else has said. I can get a handscanner with credit card. I just slide it down the side in the old style credit card slot. Or you can manually enter your clubcard number (long number at the bottom of card)

    It was only after a SA saw me entering my number manually she told me I could swipe :)
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)
