    True, but on the last series they reported a positive impact (although I have to say I did not think that it was positive)....:o

    Yes. So need to buy in asda against morries.They will only pay any extra over £1 so if you buy in morries for £1 you won't get anything back.

    As said, it was on last year, and last week they went back to them after a year to see how they had done. Probably still on catch-up. Think it is all based on a social experiment done in the Netherlands or somewhere similar.
    I best start looking for a new telly, as something will get thrown off it very soon. (watching it on catch-up as just been to get my free Mikado's and cheap wine from shopimum :) )
