Hi.
watched hughs prog on waste.very good.
so sad on news about that police mans funeral and the plane crash.puts stuff inro perspective.thihk you have worries til you watch stuff like that.
TWEETS..have you tried some kind of dark tent in corner of room with poppys stuff in so she is near you but she can go inside.my springer had a cage with blankets inside and over so it was dark but it muffled alot of the sound.the door was always open and when he was stressed him used to go inside and it was like a nest, and he found it very calming.i always just left salwag and tried to carry on and not look at her, not ignoring her, just letting her see that I was around and I was pretending the fireworks werent there.after awhile she was better but it is just a case of keep trying to see what works. I watch the dog whisperer and he reccomends, no touch, no talk, no eye contact when the dog is stressed and to just carry on with stuff and the dog usually comes over in their own time, as if you comfort the dog when its stressed, you create a vicious circle that keeps the dog stressed.
I hope you find the solution as I think the fireworks are getting longer every year.i think fireworks should only be sold to professional events and the bangers should be banned.
good luck.xx

That seems good advice ....whatever behaviour you pay attention to you get more of....true for children anyway:)

Msm says Morrisons is approx. 530g though? (On the "£3.42" product.)
Unfortunately it's M £6.45/kg and A £6.06/kg (A on full price) so it looks like £5.80-something per kg for 10% cheaper. M at £4.26 straight price (in other words adjusted to 660g). That's assuming it compares, based on what cuts of meat they find in the M stores.

530g looks outside of the weight range but if they find higher weights, they might compare. Except that 'approx. 530g' (for M) suggests this is variable weight in M. (I'll have a closer look than I usually do at Pork Loins in M on Wednesday:rotfl:. - assuming I get there (and I hope I do, as it means they've not sorted the car properly if I don't)). 660g appears to be fixed weight in A - this will not compare to a variable weight item in M as these are non-comparable.

I think, if it equates to M at £4.26 (or thereabouts) for 660g, that may make T better (depends what weight there). I also wish these were much higher individual price in A than what they are!

I think, sadly, N/A for Morrisons if this is attempt to compare fixed vs variable weights.

This is the problem that I have with "fresh" meats. Few are comparable as they are different weights (out of range) or fixed and variable - although we have the Pork Shoulder, the bubb's beef (usually those ones that return at horrid pounds more expensive for W and M - but, occasonally, are very good), the pork mince (those are different matters though as mince packs usually are comparable) and maybe that lamb breast that I keep picking up would even compare (to be bought if it goes back to cheaper in M)?

Even when A, at one point, many years ago, published a list of comparable items for M, which got removed from its website before I could (naughtily I know) take any copy and, of course surprise, never reappeared, there weren't many 'fresh meats' on the list. I could never then remember what actually was on that list:rotfl: - so I just 'struggled', ah, in the dark, all alone. Did it all myself instead:T:D. When it came to msm putting M prices onto its website for the first time, it turned out, more widely, that I'd got nearly every one of them that had prices at A and M already linked up in my own collections. And Tvs M (not available at A).

If anyone does see any good comparisons for 'fresh' meats vs M on wombles though, comparisons for items that we don't already know about, then do let me know. I made this 'appeal' some years ago too and I don't think I ended up with anything back from it. Probably because I've already got all the items:rotfl: - but it's possible there's something I'm not aware of and new items come in and old ones go out. Unlikely to find anything though, as I've always wanted those standard Topside/Silverside roasts to be comparable and yet they never seem to be - that said, they never go down to as good enough prices as bubb's version did.

EDIT: Actually, on the Lamb Breast, the other one (fixed 700g) is cheaper by weight on A's price than 10% cheaper than M on the other one would be even when M goes back down in price, so probably best just buying the 700g one straight in A.
