Wow!:):D
Just had, possibly, my fifth-largest womble ever!:j:j:j Ts about five pounds cheaper, and then 10%!:D
Well, that was worth it - it was the last one I had from today and proves quality not quantity!
No glitches, here's just a few selected items on the T comp. (may not be best comp.) - they didn't buy any A mbuys on these:
1 x Sure Women 48hr Cool Pink Antiperspirant Deodorant...£3.19£2.00
1 x Sure Women Linen Dry Anti-Perspirant Deodorant (12...£3.29£2.00
Way to go - buy 2 at over £3 each:eek::rotfl::rotfl: - someone's got more money than sense!
1 x Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Breakfast Granola Biscuit - ...£2.68£1.50
1 x Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Breakfast Granola Biscuit - ...£2.68£1.50
That looks the same there but it's two different flavours, listed separately. Someone prepared to pay £2.68!:eek::eek: Me relying on part of the public that is completely ignorant of, totally unaware of the full facts/true position elsewhere - namely that you can get them for £1.50 each in other stores sometimes!! Obviously either unaware of that and therefore simply plainly lacking in knowledge (these are people perhaps we set loose in polling stations sometimes:rotfl: - I shouldn't have said...). Either that or just prepared to pay £2.68 for them as obviously it's way too much trouble either to travel a few miles up the road to Mr T or to keep the receipt and check the APG:wall:.
Thanks anyway!!:T:T It's because I deserve it:D:)...
Voucher is... I've never had £10 or more yet, as never yet had double figure pounds on a womble, but is quite reasonable and is totally non-glitchy!0 -
ILTS, you'll need to edit your post because it's got a shortened 10ways link in it (the reason being they stand to make money per click and MSE doesn't like that
)

Aaaaaaaaanyway lets see what next 5 years brings for the country. That will reveal all....
I'm having a productive weekend tooJust about to relax and get on Pinterest for some bedroom decorating ideas. Treated myself to a coffee scrub earlier. Makes your skin super soft and you smell like coffee. Win win!

Just because everyone else is talking Politics, I will throw a few thoughts of my own in too:
Look at all the election results over the last 40 years at least ...
NO PARTY has ever got more than 50% of the vote - the highest is 42/43%. So you could say that in EVERY election, the 'winning' party was NOT wanted by the majority of the electorate - including every Labour government elected.
The 1997 Labour "landslide" - 57% of the electorate did NOT want Labour. They got 40% more votes, but got 2 1/2 times the seats (compared to the Tories).
So let us not be selective about voting results and seats - it works both ways.
If we had Proportional Representation, you would still have a 'ruling' party that most people did not want (in the first instance), but it would most likely be less stable, as you would always need some form of coalition.
Having First Past the Post at least gives relative stability, especially with a majority of seats. It allows a clear period to put in place policies, and see if they work or not. If they don't, then just vote that party out at the next election.
If we had PR, then the SNP would have very few seats, and UKIP would have loads - twice as many as SNP, more than the LibDems, and just under half of Labour.
And finally, forget all the fancy theories - a basic economic fact is surely that you can't go on spending more than you earn, by borrowing and borrowing. No different at Household level, Company level or Country level. Eventually you will go bust.
The fact is, to have a generous Welfare State costs money, and if no-one is paying into it, bar a few 'rich' people, it will fail. Surely Welfare should be for the poorest few only, that really can't afford the basics, not for so many that seems to be the case now. Poverty is relative - we really don't have the slums and poverty of 50 / 60 years ago or more. And Poverty does NOT mean not having flat screen TV's and mobile phones, or enough money for 40 cigarettes a day. Basic sensible household economics could sort a lot of issues (not all of course ... ). But the fundamental fact is that work and earning should be the aim and the norm, not benefits.
And the world we live in is such that success breeds wealth, and that pays for all the things we all want. If you discourage success, where is the wealth going to be generated from that pays for all these 'free' things you want ?
If you stifle success, by taxing it out of existance, you will have no growth, and no success.
Despite what they say, Government DON'T create real jobs (and I don't mean Civil Service jobs that create and produce NOTHING, just a cost to the country). Only businesses do, from Self Employed, through Micro, SME and big Corporations. Stifle those, and the economy will not thrive.
There will always be 'Fat Cats' - but I see no-one calling for the 'Fat Cats' of Sports (eg overpaid, underworked footballers, paying little tax probably ??) or entertainment (overpaid self-engrosed 'Celebrities', also avoiding tax ?) being called to task - actually, they are worshiped by most of the country. So let's not have one opinion for one and one for another.
No doubt some of my comments and opinions will get slated. So be it - we all have the right to an opinion in this country - but you can't say the same in some countries, where there is genuine poverty and suffering (even though there is often great wealth and resources, just that it is kept by corrupt ruling groups).
Anyway, a few things to ponder over, so off my soap box now ....
Bikertov that post is tremendous. A full understanding of the position of politics and the role of the government.

2 pm's calling me vile nationalist scum. Clearly they are the Tory voters amongst us then.
I'm not going to pm you BTS I'd rather say it openly. I don't agree with most of what you say but I love some of your posts. I am British, love the Scots and also with an Irish family pretty much love everyone.
I'm too old to argue with anyone over politics, I've seen too much that I can't unsee.
