Can't see anything different, what exactly does a 9 year badge look like?

No idea, suspect it is simply the weather. Some of my plants are runners from last year anyway, about half of them really, so doubt if they need replacing. Seems to be more or less countrywide.

'Good' in the nicest possible way as thought it was me.

Good afternoon Elite :hello:

Beautiful day here, enjoying the garden whilst I have a coffee

I have decided, after asking a friend's opinion, to upgrade to Windows 10. My dh is using my ipad so I've had to resurrect my kindle :rotfl: so strange using this after so long. It is solely used for reading these days when I have the time. I charged it up about a month ago, turned it off and left it. Amazed to see its still got almost full charge :j

Hugs to those in need, stay strong xxx

tweets, I love Poppys New cushion, she looks very content

Better go back to my catch up, see you all later x

Good comparison with the glitch crisps against Tosco

EDIT: Actually - scrap the whole of this post - there's no glitch as they bought an odd number therefore the £1.45 (on the Wotsits) is the price they paid:eek:.

However I'll leave it up for info.:


Salt & Vinegar Squares and Cheese Wotsits would have worked out at about 40p per multipack yesterday - and we hope it's still the same today - against M, although the shopper bought an odd number:wall:. However, there are a box of 42 crisps on £3 RTC in M - 14x22g Monster Munch Variety, 14x16.5g Cheese Wotsits and 14x15g Cheese Quavers - which work out at... about 2.8p:eek: more expensive per 6. But then fillers needed in A (you can't just buy the two crisps multipacks) would probably make the crisps a little more expensive there.

I was just thinking whether to add the 42 pack crisps to the M list (still partially updated!) as buy in M but this is basically an excuse to avoid doing so by mentioning them here now.

However, the Squares are picking up T's 75p:

2x Walkers Squares Salt & Vinegar Snacks (6X22G) £2.00 £1.50

But, sadly, it's the Wotsits that are causing the glitch. Would have been about 22.5p per pack on two times £1.45 vs 75p - unfortunately the Wotsits are £1.50 in T, which makes T comp. give about 92.5p APG as opposed to M £1.10. However, I wonder whether Squares and French Fries (that are 75p in T) might work - unfortunately those of us only able to shop in England or Wales will not be able to see if they are working until after the shops are closed. So, it's en masse now to A to try them and maybe everyone fail as we can't have one person test - and as usual they'll probably cease working if they work today. I notice the Squares and Wotsits are showing 2 for £2 on a.com, on the product pages as well, indeed I now think about them getting the odd number, so that's why and renders all I've said probably pointless (apart from an edit I'm now putting at the start). I'd thought that we've seen mbuy glitches before even when mbuy has been showing on the product pages for some people. I notice comp. vs M has £1 price on each, even though msm showing 2 for £2.50 for M - so maybe would have been a double glitch - on both A and M's real pricing - if they had bought two and if it had glitched - it probably did several days ago - but I notice they got the odd number and, as usual, the one items that picked up maybe a glitch on previous days I don't have any details of from M:rotfl:. I don't know if the Squares/Wotsits are £1 in M as I usually ignore £1 crisps these days:wall::rotfl::rotfl:. You can spot the glitch if I don't collect details of the item from M!

I don't think there's a glitch at all as the shopper simply bought an odd number overall, so got the full price they got for one, although these sorts of items have been glitching earlier in the week (if your week starts on Monday:rotfl:), so always good to watch out for them:cool:.

I've got enough crisps already and wasn't inclined to go out for them as I'd have to buy fillers - however it seems no glitch now (though it remains for someone to find some that do appear and pick up full price A on mbuy purchase and preferably to be the French Fries that are in T at 75p please, pretty please) - I probably should have bought some on my shop at midweek:( but, as usual, we didn't know the Squares/Wotsits may have picked up £1 M then - I don't know if they are or whether they are the 2 for £2.50 that msm has and suggests they've been for longer than a week - perhaps they have out of date SELs in most of their Ms - it looks like I may have an out of date SEL in the one store from which I got the 5Kg Onions pack and I didn't see any issue with the price to cause me to check another store - but msm has M at £1.67 (which I have) several weeks ago and being £2 for the last several weeks, so it does look like out of date SELs can stay around in some Ms for some time - even though I don't now know whether the onions went to £1.67 earlier in the week and m.com hasn't updated yet to reflect this - as far as I know, I hadn't seen £1.67 instore before, but maybe my instore price is wrong.

Typical that those specific crisps pick up £1 for M and we only find out now:( - after it seems the mbuys have certainly appeared on the Squares - especially as, if they are 2 for £2.50 and if I have those SELs in my Ms, I don't know how we're supposed to know that the APG would at a point in the future turn out to have an incorrect M price for them. I'll pay more attention to £1 crisps in M in the future if they are around times when people have already posted about something 'odd' on a.com about them. I don't know whether those missing crisps packs are of any use or whether they will be no shows on the APG and not much help (as one £1.45 vs £1.00 - just 55p back and a no show would not be too good (even one £1.45 vs 75p at T would not give as much as two times that obviously - and two times £1.45 vs £1.00 is better than just a single:( £1.45 vs 75p) but it seems we can't get two times £1.45 vs 75p as a missing item, which likely isn't 75p at T anyway, is probably a non-appearer and means we don't have two showing items).
