We currently control the ports... at calais we have a checkpoint there. if we leave the eu, it's likely that france will kick us out.

if they do, migrants, immagrants, refugees etc can all come over and once they are in the UK, they are no longer France's problem. You think they will still stop them entering? Doubtful if they can get rid of the problem.

So we bring our border guards from France, redeploy in our own ports, increase spend.

Easier to defend from our own shore for now, migrants already trying to cross the channel.

No, she was going on about going to the manager about how low the prices were and they would have to be questioned.

I would be suprised if they are not already sailing across over night.

Already happening Dave, the Rnli had to pick up two Iranian asylum seeks a few days ago, just the start imo.

Okay, it's time for my - I think people just like seeing me delete their store's items, that are continuously available for them in M, and like watching me make myself appear like I'm stupid.

Remember this little item?

Aunt Bessie's Homestyle Roast Potatoes (1.5Kg)£2.50 £1.50

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

That's just my list - reinstating that item after several months - and not an APG comparison.

This did compare on the APG at one point, many months ago, at which point I said that was the time to buy it and I didn't think it would stand much chance thereafter. It's been on RTC in M and, although it's disappeared and made a reappearance for me, and then disappeared again and come back, and then disappeared yet again but come back and then gone, after which point, I surely felt M couldn't have it at all anymore, there it is, they do! It's in my only store with the 50p Red Salmon:rotfl:.

I really don't think the AB Roast Potatoes now stand a chance on the APG, not just because of that but because it is in so few stores for me. Also, although for me items move around and appear in one store, disappear, then appear in a different one, the APG collectors I would think would not move around. Therefore, I'm picking things back up by moving around but if they are gone from their stores, they will have gone. It's taken me to go out away from my own regular stores to pick items back up.

Nonetheless, I've had problems finding the Chicago Town Pizza Melt and that worked. I did find that soon after in another store too. However, it does seem quite rare: it's just not in many Ms for me. I just don't think the Roast Potatoes now stand a chance because they've not been in dozens of Ms I've checked. It's become even harder for me to find than the Pizza Melt. However, maybe it's just the stores I've happened to visit. The APG comparison was the time it was in at least one of the APG stores but I reckon it will have gone OOS (and left no trace) in all of those stores now. At that time, it was in a number of stores for me. Now, even though I'd already had several occasions of finding that anything I deleted from my list, it always turned out that M still has it, I'd got so past the point of being unable to find the Roast Potatoes that I deleted them from my list. Even after asking on here if anyone had them in their M. I do not know if anyone ever replied to that - if they did, I didn't catch up with their reply, but I bet anyone whose store is Harrogate was having a chuckle at me deleting this one off.

The thing is that there is significant stock of the item and with long BB dates - at least one until July of next year. So, I shall be keeping this item on my list until at least next summer even if I never see it again:rotfl:. It is bound to be somewhere.

And that's not all! I mentioned one of the RTC lollies packs suddenly appearing in one of my local Ms - a single pack, although it's without a SEL unfortunately. I deleted that one and a number of other ones too, although really more so because I felt they are unlikely to work rather than believing they really weren't in M anymore. I mentioned the Robinsons Fruit Shoot Lollies that I had found and also felt that the Walls X-Pop lollies, which made an occasional appearance in a few Ms for me and then vanished, and the Toffee Crumble Sticks, which I saw at the outset of the RTC in a number of my regular stores but, months later, found again and have only ever seen at that point in one M.

And which one did I fail to mention?

[NB Some of the rest of this post is wrong: see later correction.]

Yes, the Cadbury's Swirl Luxury Ice Cream that is in Harrogate:rotfl:.

This was in my regular store months ago, and also in my second store. It stayed in my first store for about three weeks and then it vanished from there without trace. However, it was still in my other main store but had lost its SEL there. I started to doubt it - it stuck around for a bit, but I felt it now wasn't going to be in enough Ms to stand a chance of being in a collection store to be picked up. However, I'm just seeing the view from my stores. With the Swirl Ice Cream at that point only in one M for me and barely just hanging on, I really thought it was going. And then it vanished. I think I keep it on for a bit but, eventually, after a month or more of not finding it at all, I deleted it off:eek:. And there it is, months later - in Harrogate.

I shall add it back on, because it is still stocked and available in M to be sold at £1. However, I don't think it stands much chance:rotfl:.

Now, is TBG in Harrogate?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: There is no RTC indication on the Roast Potatoes SEL (that might be partly why they've stuck around, seemingly little noticed on the bottom shelf) and neither do the Swirl Luxury Lollies - or indeed the Red Salmon with 50p SEL:D - indicate that they are RTC. I very much doubt they are in Harrogate. But I very much doubt it in relation to every store, but it has got to be three of them. It's a quite remote chance - and of course there are the Ms I've not visited - and TBG might find - it seems very unlikely any at all since they are in so few Ms for me - if they found anything at all and they are likely to be complete nothing - if they did find something, it would probably be a finding of just one of these three items. Unless they are in Harrogate and pick up all three:rotfl:.

As regards the APG, and it did previously pick this item up, I think it has disappeared from the price collection stores. The RTC items like this one have disappeared from my original stores. Unless the APG was originally picking it up in Harrogate (probably at that time, Harrogate and another or maybe just Harrogate) - but the result on the Red Salmon may suggest not. If they were to be picking it up from Harrogate, they would I think have it constantly.

Just turn the isle of Wight into a large ferry port that does not belong to the UK, where all ferries have to stop en-route to the UK. Then any cast-a-ways wont have got onto UK soil.
(Not a serious suggestion at all!!)

The create and craft site is still taking orders... I was concerned that they maybe a small company and had not made one until Mat posted the company figures...

Thanks to all I have a number of ribbons that were on 3 for 2, coming all for the pricey sum of 54p. If they honour the orders, they will go into my nieces cutting and sticking box.
