    M list is now fully updated (you just have to guess if I don't tell you:rotfl:). Some extra items, beyond what I've mentioned on there, so have a look - none of which will work probably:rotfl:.

    I've omitted this on the basis that it says 50 and not 50+:

    ASDA Protect Kids Sun Spray SPF50 - High (200ml)

    I have it as Morrisons Kids Colour Sun Spray SPF 50+ (200ml) in M (at £2). 50 is not 50+ and therefore is non-comparable - maybe I'm being too pedantic? Sometimes a single character makes me say "No". There were some travel packs of suncream (4 pack?:think:) earlier in the year, at £1, and came and went way too soon for me(:o) - not surprisingly given that price - and would probably have been much better. There is, now, some No Ad Sun Lotion in M at £2 - it's 500ml rather than the own brand 200ml, so would work out much cheaper - however I'm struggling to understand the UVA rating for those. It doesn't have, on the bottles I saw, any rating showing stars - maybe it's technically illegal to sell it like that in the UK who knows?:think:, maybe not - the bottles do say "VERY HIGH" above where it says "UVA rating", however this is also just below "UVB rating", so it is unclear to me whether the "VERY HIGH" is referring to the UVA or to the UVB. Really these things should not be unclear - and it's probably not intended to be that by the manufacturer but more likely they just haven't thought about the way they've printed it - however, things do need to be more crystal clear to me than perhaps they do to the average person. I felt like asking at CS - I bet they wouldn't have had a clue!:rotfl::rotfl:

    But the manufacturer's labelling actually lost the store a purchase today. I was going to buy one at £2, to save up some stock (even if, yes, not paying glitch-type pricing) but the lack of any stars showing on the UVA get-up on the packaging put me off. I didn't feel inclined enough to go through with actually going and asking at CS. The back of the labelling claimed to offer "complete protection", but I was not convinced - as you probably suspect, I am a sceptic, who requires detailed substantiated evidence to be shown to me before I believe much, rather than falling for branded things like the mass of consumers. The lack of the stars, together with the fact it appeared to be a "foreign" manufacturer - perhaps I should not have allowed such a thing to colour my perception?!? - put me off and, I suspect, really, I treat claims of "complete protection", which I am not sure are legally enforced on packaging when they are not in an advertisement, as just part of advertising puffery that manufacturers are claiming and, of course, don't trust or believe anyone that's trying to sell me something.

    I have msm suggesting that ASDA Extra Special Burgers Vintage Cheddar (4 per pack - 454g) at £3.75 and 2 for £6.00 may compare against M at £2 each. I reckon not though (I could be wrong), so I have put the M product onto the 'buy in M' side of the list (I also don't think Vintage version from T would compare either). I have it as "M Signature Oak Smoked Cheddar Burgers (454g)" in M. Msm, as completely irrelevant as me, has it as "Morrisons Signature Smoked Cheddar Quarter Pounders (4 per pack - 454g)". I see no evidence that they are Smoked or Smoked by Oak according to the description of either A or T - does "Vintage" mean that it is Smoked? I may need your help here, as I don't see the gist and just get tangled between different words, which are different and therefore not the same and therefore I go "non-comp.". I can be a malfunctioning computer sometimes:rotfl: - actually, that's a little too harsh on my own intelligence:o:o.

    Speaking of 'the gist', I've just, finally, after months and weeks, looked at the M list overall, that is "in the round", and it looks to me that, although there have been detailed changes every time I've updated it, in the main, overall, the main items are still there and haven't changed* - maybe that means expect quite a lot of change on Monday!

    *This tends to get lost from my own way of looking at things, as I concern myself, each time, with the detailed individual items that, while that is essential to do, tends to miss the overall picture completely.

    I got one of my ice cream conversation reports rejected as I had not actually tried it. I had written the conversation as I had shopped for the ice cream with someone and picked it and reviewed what was available in store and what I had actually bought. They rejected it because I had not eaten it yet.

    I am sure previously I have done conversation reports I had with friends when I have given them vouchers and have not mentioned actually trying the product. I thought that was what the reviews bit was for. Maybe they have a new reviewer, did you appeal yours being rejected?

    The annoying thing was you don't get copy back of what was rejected and I could have used half of it again, I didn't save it.

    I replied straight back to the rejection. You are meant to try with your free voucher and then give vouchers to your friends.
