• Continued from previous page The price difference achieved


varied from an average £14.45 saving on a silver iPod Nano 4GB to an average £86.20 sav­ ing on a Sony Bravia 26” digital TV, said survey organiser Richard Webb, the Institute’s lead officer on e-commerce. The findings demonstrate


that spending more time and effort using the Internet to search out the best deals can make a significant cash differ­ ence, he said. “It’s definitely worth spend­ ing extra time searching out the

best deals, and this shopping survey demonstrates that the dividends can be substantial.” The sample survey, carried


out over the last fortnight, sup­ ports the findings of a major market study into online shop­


ping, carried out by the Office of Fair Trading, which estimat­ ed that by searching more effec­ tively shoppers could save between £150m and £240m each year. Mr Webb said: “One team

" A timely telling off from these two teachers


TWO pupils got a telling off from these young teachers as roles were reversed in aid of Children In Need at St Peters Primary School in Simonstonc. (B161107/4)


COWBOYS and Indians took over the kinder­ garten department of a Valley nursery school


on Friday. The tots at Moorland Nursery School were


helping raise money for the BBC’s Children in


Need appeal. As well as dressing up the kindergarten chil­


dren also sold cakes, while staff in the nursery


department took part in a sponsored fast, and their young charges completed a sponsored


walk. A raffle added to the total and hopes are high


that more than £500 will be raised. Our photograph shows children in their fancy


dress costumes. (B161107/2)


Z a c dye-ing for a change


TEENAGER Zac Mather was dye-ing to do something differ­ ent for Children in Need. The 17-year-old pupil of


Clitheroe Royal Grammar Sixth Form raised £250 after changing his hair colour to chocolate brown and platinum blonde. Said Zac: “I would like to


thank Emma and all the staff at Genesis hair salon in Clitheroe, for their time and co­ operation. I would also like to say a big thank you to all those who have sponsored me.” Zac is pictured showing off


the final result of his hair-rais­ ing fund-raiser, (s)


Tasty treats raise £76


CAKES decorated by nine-year-old Karen Wilkinson raised £76 for Children in Need. The tasty treats were sold at the Bayley Anns


in Hurst Green, at Hurst Green Football Club and to friends, family and neighbours. Karen is pictured with her hand-decorated fund-raising buns. (S151107/8)


Toddlers bounce through the day


ENERGETIC toddlers at the Bowland Montessori group raised £127 for Children in Need with a sponsored bounce at Sawley Village Hall. Leader Nancy Bigmore marshalled 18


energetic toddlers as they took turns on an indoor bouncy castle, through the day'. Anyone interested in joining the toddler


group or Bowland Montessori pre school should phone Nancy on 01200 429 579. (s)

Shoppers are urged to: • shop around by using price


comparison sites and multiple search engines.

shoppers also need to be clear that the price on offer is not all that matters. Indeed, we would always counsel caution if a deal really does seem to be too good


to be true. “Shoppers should also take


into account additional charges, including delivery, whether there are any warranties or insurances included, and the reputation of the company they are purchasing their product from. They need to be confident
