I don't know where they are getting that from - it seems to me the collectors are mixing this up with some own label version in M:rotfl:. The own label in turn go onto 3 for £1 pricing so I've been ignoring them:rotfl::rotfl:.

Unless the Colman's versions have been 36p in M (I think not!) - I have them showing was 74p now 50p on msm, although I accept that that, to me, would indicate a price increase:rotfl:. I think it's the collectors mixing the product up last week - they'll probably correct themselves and not make the same error this time (unless we are already on 'this time' and if this is now Monday).

EDIT: I bet there's another one - let me just check!
Indeed: The Crisp N Dry Veg. Oil 2L has gone up from £2 last time to £2.50 yesterday. Showing was £3.50 now £2.50 on msm:wall::(:rotfl::p. They "always" (well, not always, but most often) have a higher price crossed out when they go up in price, so I think these higher 'was' prices, from previous times, are now going to indicate price increases to me. I shall now assume, until the contrary is shown to me, that the stating of a higher price means the product was lower than what it now is!

EDIT 2: Actually there's this:

I saw this the other day. Gosh I have a good memory in being able to find where this is again! Promise I haven't kept details of the link or anything. I could tell you the exact page number and publication where something appeared if this was dealing with books in the past, before we had the internet, but now it seems my talent in this area is undiminished.

I think I'll be adopting the description "The Zoo of Inference and Half-Truth" as that is what the world seems to be like. This being so again on all this pricing. However, I am giving full credit and acknowledgement here and letting you know where I got this from, as, unfortunately, it's not my original creation - someone there has posted as follows:

"Toto Ferguson, my incle died by his own hand , suicide scares me.Written May 24

I am a late diagnosed Aspie , almost at same time the Manual discredited us. I try to observe and understand people to truly understand myself. Some things are so bewilering spot on, some like I'm a visitor in a zoo. Maybe the Zoo of Inferenceand Half-truths. strange and beyond my understanding."

So, when I go to M tomorrow, I shall be visiting "The Zoo of Inference and Half-Truths":D. What a good description of the world. In fact, just step outside my front door, I think, and it's all there:(:rotfl::(:(:p!:rotfl:

Is there any time that any non-autistic person actually tells the truth?!?:eek: What a novel concept:rotfl::rotfl:.

Who did you actually contact Westie?

I didn't even take a screen shot did you?

No, I only spotted the error as it was sending - only one letter out :o

Initially contacted Blippar but just had a response from them saying you have to use the contact us on the McDonalds website.

Cant work out how to do it:rotfl:

It just opens up differently each day. Today I had to just scribble a few lines, I've also had to say which retailer I'd shop with, another time was just a general draw. You just need to be logged into your account for it to be registered ..... honestly, it's nothing difficult :rotfl:

Actually, although I like the description (prepare for me to paint an even worse picture folks!), I think it's not strictly correct - "Zoo of Inference and Half-Truths" - as "inference" is defined as "a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning".

I think it's not inference at all, as most 'normal' people, rather than relying on, or basing their decisions on, evidence and reasoning seem to accept automatically and without question, and hold onto believing despite all rational strongest possible evidence to the contrary, certain pre-formed beliefs, usually ones passed onto them in their childhood on which they have been indoctrinated, that they hold onto strongly and dear and refuse to change regardless of the evidence, rather than it being any case of them using evidence or indeed any reasoning at all.

So, it's even worse folks - most people lack any reason!
It's not inference at all. If it were inference, it would be a sound conclusion. It's prejudgement, prejudice (the term being used in a neutral way to mean merely "the having of an opinion of any kind whatsoever in advance at all", including :doh:having an opinion that having an opinion is prejudiced:rotfl:), and sometimes basically downright lying:eek::p. Although usually it's white lying, which is deemed to be okay.

However, despite my thinking the description is partially incorrect, I like the description nonetheless and will use it in future - after all, it's acceptable to give incorrect positions and be half-truthful:rotfl:. So, I'm merely fitting into the "downright lying" rest of the world:cool:.

It's alright, I'll get back into my box, as people will just dismiss me as having a tantrum and a strop:rotfl:.

Hi all, just a quick question about the blippar comp - does it make any difference to your chances of winning if you select over/under 16? Thanks
