    Not at all. they were aimed towards one person and that's not nice at all. Why would anyone do that.

    Could people now try to identify me by trawling through the archives and seeing any filmings ever made at that train station?:think: For one, I doubt that any recordings of a broadcast, even if it was ever made, would still exist - although you can never know who happened to have their VCR running and who happens to have a tape lying around, unused, unwatched and somewhere under a load of junk that they never happened to tape over or erase. However it seems to me the possibility is so remote that it can be ignored. And, even if anyone ever could locate a tape (and I'd be interested to see it actually:rotfl:), they would still not know where I lived, either then or now, and it would be virtually impossible to track me down and find me - or even if you did would be extremely unlikely to be any person with sinister intentions anyway.

    Anyway, even without trying to find any tape of any broadcast, which may not even exist and may never even have been made (I could have been in the 'rushes' and the broadcasting company now taped over them), any person could try to find me. No-one has yet ever done so however and I've certainly never encountered anyone who has ever made themselves known to me and I don't think anyone is likely to do so or would ever try and, even if they did, stand almost no chance of identifying me.

    I know for a fact that there are other people who post on here that use the same M stores as me. Yet none of you have ever managed to find me and I think it is highly unlikely you would ever do so.

    I think I might go to Blackpool Asda and wait there until I see fairclaire:rotfl:. But, how would I ever know who she was? And how could I ever find her that way? She has never posted a picture of herself, as far as I am ever aware, has never sent one to me or ever made it known to me (that's not a complaint btw:rotfl::rotfl: - it's just stating the facts), so I could never know. Even though I know of a place which she has clearly, at some point, visited in the past and is likely to visit again (but I know not what time and she will remain an anonymous shopper in the crowd). More to the point, what on earth would the purpose of any such attempt to find her? Why would anyone bother to try? Anyway, if I'm there, give me a wave!:D But, how would you know who I was?

    Anyway - you're wrong, you would be waving to a random stranger and it is more unlikely indeed that it would be me!:rotfl: And I would never be able to find fc simply by standing in Blackpool Asda; neither would anyone else who does not already know her in RL.

    Some people are clearly more comfortable than others when posting online and share a great deal about their RL. As suggested by my username, I prefer anonymity as much as possible. You only need to see how FB and other online services suggest people that you may know to make you stop and think that it is sometimes better to be more cautious.

    Oh I could never know who you were! Big help isn't it calling yourself "Anon"?:rotfl::rotfl: That like, narrows it down!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::cool:

    Morrisons Seafood Sticks (500g) at £1.78, which are not on msm, not getting to the list as Mr A's Seafood Sticks, as far as fresh is concerned, are cheaper.

    ASDA Fishmonger's Selection Seafood Sticks (16 per pack - 250g)


    Store_2.15px.png
    79p £3.16 / Kg

    • Store_16.15px.png
      79p
    • Store_8.15px.png
      [Strike]£1.00[/Strike]
      81p
    • Store_1.15px.png
      £1.00
    • Store_3.15px.png
      £1.20
    • Store_7.15px.png
      £1.20
    They should not compare against M at 81p, so no 10% is available, as M's version at 81p are 200g and are more expensive by weight than the 500g ones in M. In fact, it looks like the A ones may lose out against everywhere else on the APG as the prices are higher; therefore seems they may only be a 'filler' vs M which, hopefully, is N/A. :think:W is 10 per pack but is the same weight as A - possible they might not compare but I wouldn't risk it (the weight is the same).
    Or buy the ones in Aldi, which are said to be the same number and weight as A, according to msm.

    That's as far as fresh is concerned. There are some frozen Clear Seas Seafood Sticks in M (600g at £2) which, by number but not by weight, are cheaper than the fresh one in A/Aldi. If you are calculating by weight rather than the number of sticks, the frozen one in M is slightly more expensive than the A and Aldi fresh versions. (On number of sticks, the frozen one in M is a lot cheaper: works out at 50p per 16.)

    :(:(Mr A has put its price down. And, yet again, to it's bog-standard rip-off (IMO) £2 and almost never as good as T's price! Let alone 10% cheaper than it:p.

    Nestle Shreddies (750g)

    Store_2.15px.png
    £2.00 26.7p / 100g
    Store_1.15px.png
    [Strike]£3.39[/Strike]
    £1.69


    Now not bothering with this, as I would have to spend more on other items, to reach a voucher spend amount, that would never give their full cost back unlike the extra £1.38, had A remained at £3.38 price, would have done (assuming T's new offer price is picked up) and without requiring even more to be bought!

    I don't want them to be 10% cheaper on their own original price btw:rotfl:. I want a much nicer full price back!:rotfl::rotfl::p

    (I think A might have gone down just before T put onto offer - but, anyway, I don't like it when they put prices down*. Every competitor should put every one of their comparable items way down in price:D:rotfl:. However... Crunchy Nut 750g and Bitesize Shredded 750g are, just about, still nice high full price and look to be on! I hope they stay at that price for ages and allow me to buy less and have much cheaper shopping than I would if they put the prices down! As well as helping ensure that stock is more plentiful for me to buy the products more easily, as muggles are less likely to pick them up with them being nice full price (and half the price in T). Although the downside - not a great one but nonetheless - is that it makes it :(less likely they will be bought on wombles and give me more back vs T there.)

    *Unless there's a way more expensive price online for CC/HD or a way more expensive mbuy price than the actual price instore.

    Frosted Shreddies - £2 A - boo!:(

    Nestle Frosted Shreddies (500g)

    £2.00


    Would much rather £2.49. And T's price a bit expensive - 24.8p per 100g!:eek::eek: Even 10% off does not get my 20p/100g or better. Ought to be under £1.

    A's Washing Up Liquid 500ml - Original version and Lemon version - ought to compare against M's 450ml at 50p with price adjustment upwards. I suspect they won't, so they would be Avs T at 450ml at same price as M. APG computer might pick up T's price from online. Of course, value range washing up liquids work out cheaper.

    This should be slightly better, when vs T, than the Fairy liquid 430ml at 50p. I remember when we got much much larger Fairy liquid once on RTC in A at 50p!

    I don't think I'll bother with this - it has been cheaper before. Of course it goes up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down... Last offer in M I think was £2.62 and msm has £2.32 low at some point in the past year. It seems to be getting more expensive:rotfl:. Given that £2.71 is quite a bit higher than £2.32 and then you could expect 10% off (and you don't get as much 10% off £2.32 as you get off £2.71:rotfl: - but of course end up paying more on 10% off £2.71 than off £2.32), I will give it a miss. Pretty expensive thing on any of M's offers in the first place! I'm too used to glitched prices:rotfl::D - they are so much cheaper!:money:
