    Afternoon All,

    I guess it could be the credit card that has linked the accounts.

    I have an account and so does my wife (she lives at our old house), different payment cards, with different names but both billing addresses at our current house.

    To get more tablets, I have created a third account in my name but with a different credit card and same billing address again.

    I've not claimed an APG on the new account yet but if I hit the £100 limit I will let you all know.

    It would be handy to know what they use to link the account.

    I've got 2 orders (2 accounts) to collect on my way home.

    Thanks BTW to whoever found the tablets, this could be a good one whilst it lasts to make up for the UDIs.

    Thanks Sad_Dad.

    Aren't they supposed to levy a minimum charge of 5p each?

    EDIT:

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/carrier-bag-charges-retailers-responsibilities

    "As a retailer:
    • the charge is for non-reusable bags (single-use bags)
    • you must charge for bags used for collections and deliveries
    • you don’t need to charge an extra 5p if you’re already charging 5p or more for bags"
    So, they are allowed to charge at 2 for 5p as they are already charging at least 5p for a bag:cool:. I learn something every day:rotfl:.

    But then the guidance says "You must charge at least 5p a bag (including VAT) for carrier bags that are all of the following: [etc.]" so, in this situation, it seems to me immediately to contradict itself/be unclear.

    From the guidance therefore, I no longer know:rotfl:. Does bullet point 3 of the first quoted part only relate to bags used in collections/deliveries? That seems to me to be the context. In which case, the 5p per bag applies and they are not charging it? Assumes you are in England of course.

    Unsure if those flimsy ones will eventually go the journey savvy and we might be left with the slightly thicker ones.

    Don't know really:)

    Evening folkios :D

    NL I'm glad it went well at the hospital :)

    Everyone else who is poorly or looking after poorly people have one of these :grouphug: to help you muddle through :)

    It's a bit blowy windy out - it's coming up the Bristol Channel which is only about 5 mins away from my house so we are getting it full on :eek:

    Hope that all is good with you and MG's. xx
