    The other items that I had issues with were the Whole Chickens, including the Extra Tasty Chicken that people were getting before (note that that has gone to full price on m.com). There are three different chickens I now have on my list. I've concluded, for now, that all three should stay. I haven't got time to post the full complex situation, including what I found in each of my stores, right this minute but could go through and post the details later - but briefly I have found that the SELs generally say £4 on them all but some of the stock is priced at £4.50. I think all three will probably pick up £4 each; however it's possible that, although they should take the SEL price and should take the lowest price if they find a price marked product that is lower, they could get £4.50 (then adjusted slightly down) on any of the chickens as these sorts of situations are precisely ones in which the APG may well go full price. I don't know if the online situation is right or not - that the Extra Tasty Chicken offer ended at the start of this week and the others are now on offer as I have both prices on all the different ones in various ways, but, generally, SELs are saying £4 (which works out at £3.75) across the full range now for me.

    I don't know whether or not I would say switch from the Extra Tasty one to the other two (there are actually three others in M but one of them A has no equivalent). You could find the other two pick up full price but the Extra Tasty could be the only one that works. I have no idea what the actual prices of any of them are, as the prices displayed are at such variance between, and even within, the different stores. It could be that there is some of the stock at £4.50 and some of the stock at £4 (newer stock at £4.50 for Extra Tasty but older stock £4, and newer stock of others at £4 but older stock of those £4.50). Or it could be that stock priced at £4.50 scans at £4.50 even where the SELs say £4. Or the stock priced at £4.50 could scan at £4 even though it is priced at £4.50.

    It could be anything! I also have no idea whether the Tuc Crackers/Jacob's Cheddar biscuits are 50p or were 50p in M on Wednesday or whether they were in fact £1 even though the SELs in my Ms had not been changed and even though the APG now thinks they were 50p in M.

    There's anti damp paint, we used it on bathroom ceiling last time we decorated, not had any damp on it since :D

    That said, the one we used was an undercoat - they may need to do a top coat too?

    Thank you that could be it.

    :eek: Just had to put big light on it went dark and snowing heavier than earlier .

    When they came looking around house said new extractor fan in kitchen its not worked since had new kitchen.

    Was also going on about damp painting whatever that means got black marks on some walls . So don't think they will be in house long.
    You can get special paint if you have damp and paint it on to help stop it

    Good afternoon Elite.
    Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
    AWOL recently due to RL. Apologies. No wine nor cakes for me. Nor cushelle yet - but thanks to Mrs Mac for the heads up. And we have snow. Again.

    Found some mixed in with the 1.35kg vanish at £11
    These ones scanned at £2.75
    Thanks to hukd but they are taking no notice.
    2 types I believe but my store just had the one type with the correct weight. So rummage through them
