Test. Test.

EDIT: Sorry folks. It appears I'm able to edit this post but not my previous one. I am being blocked every time I try to edit it or to repost it. I was trying to add "At least the Ravioli was not obtained for £1.00! Unlike their hopeless half-size Beanz/Saus. tins:rotfl::rotfl:. In fact they were obtained for more expensive than £1 for the two, as I claimed the APG."


ANOTHER EDIT: It's now posted alright here - therefore it doesn't seem there is a keyword in my quote above that is being found wrong. I thought it might be the word "hopeless" as that could be used in an abusive way against someone so might have tripped the filter (the, er, hopeless filter:rotfl:). As you know, if someone was being abusive towards me (which somehow has never happened yet:rotfl:, don't know what I'm doing there), I'd need not just a filter of the allegedly unclean water that was being thrown at me but a full and effective dam building to prevent the entire message from ever reaching me as "!!!" still carries meaning in other contexts of surrounding words (I really did write three exclamation points there, just to clarify as I now have to do in a simple waste of time due to other things being sometimes changed to exclamation points). If it wasn't precisely clear, which it probably still would be, I'd be asking "What are you saying to me:mad:?" Enough of this passive aggressiveness where you refuse to use the full word or where, instead of using a word, you remain silent in order to communicate it to me more profoundly and problematically (if indeed there was any problem as the silence is unhelpfully and loudly proclaiming)! If you have the gumption to say it to me, then the filter should not step in as I don't need the failure to provide protection that changing to something else with meaning provides to me. I guess my "direct communication" approach, something maybe a part of my Asperger's, doesn't sit well with many people. I don't deal with annoying indirectness:rotfl::rotfl:.

People you are right - I am picky and pedantic in my attempts at perfectionism.

Anyway... I just hope the system lets me continue to edit the M list:rotfl:.

That's a goodie:T:T:T - cheaper than SP Toilet Rolls:rotfl:. Wonder where they are getting that one from? Maybe some change in the toilet roll range in M has confused the collectors:D:rotfl:. If only I had £8 to spend in the first place on loo rolls...:rotfl:

I will cross out the SP Toilet Rolls (they have moved vs M due to M only just now having a comparable, although expected not to work so early). I will add this 24 pack, in the hope that we are already on Wednesday 15th and not still on Monday that may update to an N/A on a Wednesday collection (or any subsequent collection at random:rotfl:). Fingers crossed! Does anyone have anything on a receipt that changed in price in M between Monday and Wednesday so I can see?:rotfl:

EDIT: According to m.com, it looks like they picked up the 9 pack rolls. 9 pack showing at £3.30 on m.com but 24 pack £7.50! It's a glitch it seems! No wonder I did not have this as I couldn't have predicted this comparison. Well done for finding that!:D:T (I think it more than makes up for the loss on the Giant Crumpets, that should be 50p each for M? Unfortunately the downside is that the womble should have been even better than it was had it picked up what I think is correct price for the Crumpets instead of full price:(. However, at least it didn't have what seems to be the correct price for the loo rolls:rotfl:.)

Just realised that receipt was dated 15/8. Does that make a difference. Wasnt changeover day Wednesday in M's.

Yes, unfortunately it does make a difference. The system will not be on Wednesday on the day itself. And checking first on subsequent days does not change that - my understanding is that Wednesday shopping will remain on Monday (if Monday got to the system before the end of Wednesday as it should). I've never been able to rescue Monday shops and get them to go to a new day when prices had changed in M in my favour - those remain on the previous Wednesday data even if waited for days after Monday until they are first checked. The price data is going to have updated since 15th August or will be updating very soon indeed if it hasn't already done so. This may be over already unless they made the same mistake on Wednesday. (They could have done if they have 24 pack linked up to 9 pack and haven't changed it.) Sadly the only way of finding out is if someone buys the loo rolls at £8, or if they turn up on a womble again which seems unlikely.

Shame we are away, that is a great comparison and must be a glitch.

Typical ... but I will just have to enjoy the holiday :A.

Nope, not as the shop was done on Wednesday:(. Relies on them making the same mistake on the Wednesday collection if it's to work this weekend.
