    For all those on about caravans saying about cold, they are different now double glazing, central heating and ensuite:D People have been in here and say gosh your cooker is bigger than mine:rotfl: mine is range size, was already fitted in:p

    I don't question that you can get luxury caravans - get what you pay for and all that. Some are probably better than houses :)

    But ours was a £500 job :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Gosh, you'd think you'd be safe walking on a pavement? Some jerk in a luton van just cut the corner and nearly took me with it :eek: I was about 2m from the end of the pavement.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    1x ASDA Lemon Juice from Concentrate (250ML)£0.50£0.50
    0.25x ASDA Loose White Baking Potatoes (Typically 0.5kg) (PER KG)£0.25N/A

    1x Jordans Country Crisp Chunky Nut (500G)£2.00£1.50


    won't put ginger in an S shop again:o


    I thought I could still target T with the Jordons today but apparently not.


    SnS

    They (S) are horribly expensive on some of their loose produce. Only luck is that the banana doesn't compare (although actually their non-comparable fairtrade bananas are same price but point is valid in respect of items if they were much more expensive at S - I'd rather have them as N/A!), though even the banana dropped off comparing against M recently causing me not to want to buy it on M shops anymore:rotfl:.

    As regards vs T here, APG system sometimes updates to prices that aren't quite yet changed at the competitor and therefore isn't exactly like 10% cheaper than buying on the same day (but then vs M isn't 10% when they don't pick some things up - it's approximate only - or a nuisance when they pick up M's double size loo rolls against A's SP Toilet Tissue:( - you'd get twice as much at M, if it were adjusted by weight it would be same price and thus not 10% cheaper, however because of the description they pick up the M product and subtract from the APG on the M comp., so not truly 10% cheaper at all, should be N/A in my view rather than deducting the 80pence that it does). However, vs T, sometimes does work in tandem on the APG as "tomorrow's prices" for T (from online) tend only to be picked up on the APG tomorrow so it does pretty much work in tandem like it does. So, a negative criticism and then a good point (or, rather, not good at all it merely does is reflect T's prices accurately and take off 10%:rotfl::rotfl:, but, that's how it should be... from their POV at least:D. It just gives us what we should get. Boring, I don't want just what we should get:rotfl:.)
