    And I noticed it 15 years ago. It is nothing new.
    It's new in my local Tesco - a whole section dedicated to miniature shampoos and the likes.

    How dare a retailer try to make money hey :rolleyes:
    Very clever. However I think you'll find that the manufacturer sets the RRP of their products, rather than the retailer. And the cost of miniatures is almost always not relative to the cost of the full size products. Are the manufacturers cashing in on the "100ml max" rules? Yes, I think it's safe to say that they are.
  • Which is more dangerous - a pocket knife or a pot of jam? :confused:



    sprained my wrist on a pot of jam once....damn those lids :-)

    Depends on the flavour of the jam.

    Blackcurrant is lethal, particularly to white tops.

    Strawberry is better, but apricot is fine :D

    Getting way off-topic, but I had a jar of Branston Pickle confiscated by a marshall at Headingley Cricket Ground. We had been making our own sandwiches and I pleaded, waving a rather large, sharp knife, to be allowed a dollop of pickle before he took it away. He refused, but didn't seem at all worried about the knife. :confused:

    Apparently I might 'use it as a missile'.

    well i've just arrived back from tenerife with my ryanair flight

    which was bang on time, and a good flight.

    I ate my own food on the way out and my own food on the return leg.

    I also take my own minatures with me, i've said this before on the forum, but people have told me that it isn't allowed.

    well here is the 2 minatures that i took with me, in my hand luggage, 1 for the outbound flight, and 1 for the return leg, i bought a small can of coke on the plane out, and used a bottle of coke from tenerife airport on the way home.
    My 2 minatures in the plastic bag.

    Taken after i'd had a nice vodka on the plane.

    You are allowed to take the miniatures through security. Security rule

    You are not allowed to consume them on board. Airline rule. However if they don't spot you drinking them........
