Think most could guess beyond those who believe what they see on GB News, think they think GB is Great Britain whereas everyone else knows it's Grotesque Bullocks.

I went to see an Iranian chap - he was there watching GB news!🤣🤣🤣

I use the free Libre Office

Mrs Tkk has just finished her studies with the O.U. She had to download MS Office which comes as part of the package and use Word to submit her work. It's a bit " arcane " and on a few occasions it decided to reformat parts of her work. It was easier for her to email the document to me, I would remove the spurious formatting using Libre Office and email it back.

I don't think I have ever seen it increase if you buy two.

But it isn't uncommon to have a selection of items in the "any two for £5" type offer, where most are more than £2.50, but some are exactly £2.50.

The idea is that many people wouldn't want two of the one item, but may well want one each of two items, and they still save overall if they are getting two items for £5 where one would have been £2.50 and one would have been (say) £2.80. So the total for the two items is £5.00 instead of £5.30.

Seen it many a time, albeit not too recently.

Yes - familiar with that arrangement, but the Leedammer was the only item in this promotion (small shop, limited range).

Now that does make it silly.

Probably imposed on them from above, whoever set it up not thinking of the limited ranges in Tesco Express.
