In reply to SweetnSavvy's query. I spotted this on HDUK (thanks to them)


Packs of 30 Fairy Platinum All in One Dishwasher Tablets - £8.00 each in Tesco and £5.00 in Asda. So if you buy 4 packs plus fillers you should get a brand match discount of £12 + a 25% discount of £8.00. So, 4 packs for £12.


Does anyone know if any other 'flavour' of Comfort Intense 64 wash works apart from the Fushia one?

All flavours work blue yellow ~& pink

Let me just come out with it - let's face it I'm going to say it sooner or later, I've been trying not to but I just cannot resist - and if you don't want it, then just skip:cool: or if not then maybe read and it may be interesting.

.......................................

If I've infuriated or upset anyone, well, that's tough! And, if that's disrespectful, then so what. I don't want to start any debate, as that's already over, and whilst I'm always happy to answer any questions, I see little point in raking over issues that have already been decided.

Excellent post Savvy that explains many of my views :T

Hmm, interesting. And correct too - at least the first part: the second, I think, probably mostly correct. As I've just mentioned above now, I don't want to start, or get into, any debates - as we could otherwise literally just talk about this forever. The thing, as I see it, is that we aren't actually as big an exporter as an importer. As for home-grown goods, yes, to an extent - however home-grown goods are produced by companies that may be home-grown or may be run from elsewhere or may have bases elsewhere and may be affected in other parts of their operation and this does have an effect on their ability to operate in this country. All companies, even home-grown ones, are affected by this - through the general economy, interest rates, borrowing etc., just as we as individuals are also affected. Although I acknowledge you did say "little effect", not "no" effect (maybe I'm again picking on an individual word:o), but I don't know - maybe more of an effect than a little one? Interest rates could, of course, go either way.

How many goods are actually "home-grown" these days? We've more gone out of manufacturing and producing our own goods, due to declines in our own manufacturing industries over several decades, and into service industries - services incidentally being things that are probably more difficult to negotiate over in trading agreements for exports.

Stornoway black pudding
Angus beef
Scotch lamb, pork, beef, venison, grouse etc
Whisky
Shortbread
Salmon and other fish/shellfish
Water
Grain
Berries
Wood
Tartan and other textiles
Grand theft auto (and other computer games)
Electricity to name but a few (spot the Scottish twang here )


As well as these we are a tourist industry so a weak £ helps bring the tourists in as their bang for their buck is better.


In a way it reflect the oil price. When the price per barrel is low the motorist is happy and the industry suffers. When it's high the industry does well but motorists suffer.

Always winners and losers. The key is to find the right balance where most people are somewhat happy.

It depends what you want to scan, mysupermarket has an app that scans the food etc barcodes from supermarkets and the such.

Just had a look on Google Play, there is one or two on there that look promising, is it for Android or ITS?

Annoyed, had a wonderful idea to start an epetition but you need the email addresses of the people to help starting, no good if you want to start it without anyone you know knowing .

OH wow :j I am very impressed - I think I am going to get my head around my booking now its worked for you.

did you opt for the Botley Park Hotel?
And are you driving down so you have free parking for the week/fortnight?
and it includes your taxi on the day to the port?
does it include breakfast?

it looks about half an hour from the port which feels like a long way out

Yes, went for the Botley Park (well booked that one and the other one, but will cancel the other one now)
Getting train down, stopping off at Bourgh Market in London for a few hourse en-route, then train to Southampton, and taxi to hotel. I think I have to pay for my taxi to the port, but they do do packages on their website which include parking and transfers. I believe it includes breakfast.

Do they have Uber in Southampton? If you don't already have an account there's often codes for free credit floating around. Might make that taxi to the port free as well then
