    And just to clear up this "clairvoyance", I was told by a newsagent about this AFTER I HAD PURCHASED an Independent on Sunday (last Sunday) for JUST £1 (which was "flashed" on the masthead as a "special offer price") and commented about "the bargain it was", it not being the usual £1.80.

    This may well have been regional since it was NOT shown on their website

    http://www.independent.co.uk/independent.co.uk/editorial/p1Images/20080224_p1_big.jpg

    and by the way, your crystal ball needs cleaning, it was MONDAY!
    There is no 'clairvoyance'. Confirmation that there was NO 30p offer came direct from the Independent. I never mentioned/commented/asked about the £1 offer although I do agree it was a bargain, as you mentioned!

    And with your obviously fragile state, please don't tempt me to be rude by talking about crystal balls. Most people (including me) make mistakes -- just accept that on this one occasion you and/or your newsagent got it wrong, obviously accidentally.

    Hi ! would anyone be able to tell me if there is a voucher for Alton Towers in todays News Of The World , i havent spotted it , looked through the paper twice. Thanxx in advance

    Looking at the website details it says

    "To claim your tickets, simply collect SEVEN differently numbered tokens from the TEN we are printing every day until March 6."

    and

    "Collect SEVEN differently numbered tokens from the ten that we'll be printing in THE SUN. Token one was printed on Saturday etc...."

    It doesn't mention the News of the World anywhere, and whilst it says "Token one was printed on Saturday" there was a token but I seem to remember it said BONUS.
    Given that, then token 1 was in Monday's SUN (25th Feb), 2 on Tues, 3 Wed, 4 Thur, 5 Fri and 6 on Sat (yesterday)
    7 will be in tomorrow's (Mon), 8 Tues, 9 Wed and 10 on Thursday which is the 6th !
    There are 10 types of people in the world. ‹(•¿•)›
    ‹(•¿•)› Those that understand binary and those that do not!


    Veni, Vidi, VISA ! ................. I came, I saw, I PURCHASED

    The "clairvoyance" is you inaccurately telling me what I did and didn't do.
