You have me in stitches!

oops a repeat. I have ran out of new material!

Can anyone guess this occupation ....

just wondered whether anyone can think of a job where you can make up all your "forecasts and promises and dead lines based on no truth and then when you get the job you don't carry out any of the things or have any of the qualities you said that you had and be paid a fantastic wage for delivering none of the goods you promised and when your lies are high lighted you just shrug them off and carry on making some more whilst not listening to what you ""bosses " really want from you ..... But still remain in the said job with no reprisals or penalties to your salary ....... yes you guessed ""politicians"" This is 2016 surely now with television we can say look you said all that on tv knew you were not telling the truth so you ...SACKED get out no hefty payout straight to the job centre where you benefits will be stopped because you willingly made your self unemployed

Just been listening to Brexit the Battle for Britain

Not many wombles to speak of today - I arrived after clear-up time:(, but I did manage to find a couple more on my way back tonight. After excluding the one from 5th June:( - no luck:rotfl::p.

Typical that they buy Celery Sticks, instead of Celery which is 54p in M, and therefore end up with this:

4 items on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda morrisons
5x ASDA Grower's Selection Melon Snack Pack (80G) £1.50 N/A
1x ASDA Grower's Selection Grated Carrot (250G) £0.50 N/A
1x ASDA Grower's Selection Little Gem Lettuce (2PK) £0.60 N/A
1x ASDA Grower's Selection Radishes (200G) £0.45 £0.45
1x ASDA Grower's Selection Celery Sticks:( (EACH) £0.80 £1.00
1x The Lincolnshire Beetroot Co. Chilli Diced Beetroot (175G) £1.00 N/A
1x ASDA Grower's Selection Cucumber Portion (EACH) £0.24 £0.21
0.29x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Vine Tomato (order by number of tomatoes or select kg) (PER KG) £0.58 N/A
1x ASDA Sweet Honey & Mustard Dressing (250ML) £0.84 £0.84 Comparison total (compared products only) £2.33 £2.50
cheaper +£0.17

This was never going to give much, as I felt at best they would be largely price-matched (a few pence per item at best). I was hoping it would be the Celery at 54p though - but it was never going to work as Celery in A is 49p (so not worth bothering with on the APG) and, I think, cheaper in Aldi?

Radish is now cheaper there and the comp. on the Celery Sticks subtracted from vs M, made T better overall:(, lost out on the 10% vs the Radishes and didn't get the best price on the portion cucumber, even with some Gem Lettuce more expensive at T:

All of 19p APG:(. And I think I've lost on the Celery Sticks, as msm has them as A being at 350g (even though a.com just has them as "(Each)" and the Celery Sticks at T are 350g too.

Tesco Celery Sticks (350g)

Msm also has M at 350g. So, the APG doesn't pick up T, or S, at 350g but picks up M from instore with no weight specified on the description on the comp.:(

Surely Morrisons have 2 pack Little Gem Lettuce? The collection agency is hopeless on fruit & veg., except as regards picking up items without weights or different weights that are higher price:(:p. (I've exaggerated, for effect, of course - it's not as bad as that, but it does seem like it!) Of course, M have loose vine tomatoes as well.

EDIT: Yes, M have Little Gem Lettuce, according to msm, although I would not want it comparing as M are at 80p:rotfl:. Hopeless at 60p though - v. expensive way of buying lettuce in my view.

I've not been quoted yet. I suppose I just don't cut the cloth.
