    4k are facebook notifications (i really cba with FB)
    17k are hukd alerts :rotfl: bubbs brings the good ones over so could just delete these.

    the other 4k are probably not important :o

    I'm going to just ignore them :D and have a :coffee: instead.

    You can turn off the FB notifications.

    Go ti the arrow in the top right corner. Select settings.

    On the left select notifications (with a little world) Select email and change to Only notifications about security.

    I wasn't implying you should steal the bags and I didn't realise that would be the case I didn't even need a bag as I had my own but the lady in front of me pointed it out and I just repeated it. That will teach me to keep my mouth closed.
    Don't worry Redroof, I'm sure that a huge amount of us on the Elite thread really appreciate your post, I know that as someone who always forgets to take bags with me, I definitely do..:beer:

    You have highlighted a glitch and that is why most of us are here, so thank you for letting us know about it..:D

    As for CoT, just ignore him. Whilst I am sure that some of the Elite might value his opinions on some things, a massive percentage of us don't.

    I shall leave it at that..;)

    Oh, and welcome to the thread by the way. Fantastic first post..:T

    It's a week ago - no idea if they are still on. Of course I can't check Scotland:rotfl:. The result has been that England and Wales have had to buy threefold:(:eek: to get the same 'deal' as at least some of these have been on 3 for £15 there (and £8 individual - if you live on the Scottish border with England, why not just buy a pack at £5 in south Scotland and then try to sell it back to Mr M just south of the border at £8 each?:eek::rotfl::p:rotfl:).

    I don't know about all these alcohol packs - I only know about the three that are the best value (the highest volume) but the ones mentioned look familiar, so I think it's been all of them.

    EDIT: It looks like the E&W deal (or not so deal, given that you have to buy three:eek:) is on until 25/10, so I assume (big mistake?) that the better £5 straight for one pack is on in Scotland until then. I might add all the regional variants of the milk to the list next time too:rotfl: (can't guarantee which of them might compare). I imagine the same is true of items such as 'fresh' potatoes and fruit, as some of those also have Welsh/Scottish variants.
