Now THAT is a link I have never worked out how to replace the URL with a single word.

try this - type the word you want to use. Then highlight that word. At that point click on the icon that has a globe with a link on it above the typing box. Insert your link into the box that comes up. Then click ok and you will have a link in a single word (or sentence, whatever you have highlighted)

This is the response I got from Amex this morning

To start the day off a message from Amex - nice reward for a few mins writing a message - the search is now on for more places that should not be on the list

"I apologise for the inconvenience caused to you.

You will be glad to know that I have immediately gone ahead and have applied the credit of £5 on your Card as a gesture of goodwill. The credit will appear on your account within 2-3 working days.

I apologise for the inconvenience caused to you".

mhoc, I've tried to find the email address for Amex but failed. I'm happy to ask about OneStop if you can send me the email address please. Mostly loads of restaurants round my way and I'd end up spending money on stuff I don't really want.

It may be that the price in store hasn't yet gone up.

I noticed their double cream 300ml did something similar recently. price on SEL had gone up to £1. However, at that point, it went through the till at it's old price. Next time I bought some, SEL was still £1, and it then went through the till at that price. Double cream seems to have gone up everywhere, can't be the euro exchange, so the cynic in me says is it so that they maximise income over the festive period?!

Really - well, I have got that £1 price from Monday! Looked like it was an offer, but I thought it was small - indeed, it should be 600ml that ought to be £1 not 300ml! It will not be getting to the list. I thought it was half-size and needed to go through my further checks first;).

No glitches - well, good - I'm off to M! Hopefully not to pick up any cream:rotfl:. Thanks for alerting me to the price increase - obviously even the lower previous price wasn't good enough for me to know:rotfl:. Is it double cream?:think: Single cream that I have got? Anyway, it doesn't matter - £1 for whatever type of 300ml cream is a no-no!

I would imagine the Tizer 2L by now, it being more than a day after Monday, would be 75p or maybe even 94p. The SELs do sometimes get altered the day before - and this usually puts paid to the APG picking up some offers that expire on the Tuesday, though not always (the Weetos did recently stay at their offer SELs on the Monday).

As regarding cynic - I need to rush off! - I may mention now the individual Tic Tacs - they have been offer price of 40p (down from regular 46p) - however I saw 60p in a couple of stores on Monday - one store had 46p on the SEL but probably never showed the offer - so it does seem that, having had an offer of 40p (down by 6p), they are now trying to get all the money back for that back and more by 'overcharging' compared to what the previous regular price was. The 1Kg carrots did something similar over summer - went to offer price and then went up to sky high - average of the two was the regular price they had been before, so if you bought a bag on offer one week and then paid the inflated price the next week, it was about the same as if you'd bought two bags of non-offer carrots. The Tic Tacs look like they have gone even worse - now 14p more expensive than regular 46p, but the offer being just a 6p deduction.

It does seem quite a few prices went up on Monday (the details of those that are also stocked in A are mainly on the M list as crossed out - as regards 'buys in M', I've deleted most of them) - cynic says the supermarket is wanting to cash in in the run up to Christmas. I think, with the shops getting busier and the muggles shopping, obviously now is the time to be avoiding the shops as much as possible:rotfl::money:. Save money, again, by doing the exact reverse of what people generally are doing - so, more people going to the shops, avoid them - return once people have stopped going as much!

This may help:


Type "whatever" (without the quotes)
Highlight over "whatever" (without the quotes)
Open a new window and highlight the url you want to quote
CTRL + C to copy it
go back to first window (where "whatever" is still highlighted) and click on the world/link icon
paste (CTRL +V) the url in and hit return.
