Does anyone know if Coolzone has an alter ego cos their fridge freezers are crap . I got one from Iceland had no use out of it now apparantly they have gone into administration and I still have two months of the 12 months guarantee. Comet is supposed to be coming to repair or look at it although it had a new thermostat after 3 months and still doesnt keep things cold or freeze properly.

Can't help you with Coolzone, but just to say that we once applied for (and received) a refund from a credit card transaction when a warranty was cut short in similar circumstances. If you paid by credit card it might be worth a try? HTH

Quite a few years ago, I did some temp work at Lakeland Dairy in Kendal, Cumbria (now taken over by Parmalat). I was ASTONISHED to see, on my tour round, that when the run of ASDA Smartprice cottage cheese was finished, they then put posh waxed pots on the conveyor and carried on filling pots with exactly the same product. The posh pots? M&S top price cottage cheese! At the time the prices were Asda 32p, M&S £2.05!! FOr exactly the same stuff... Also, munch bunch yogurt was the same stuff as ADSA smart price kids yogurt. Never bought branded kids yog again! Same would go for cottage cheese if I liked it!

Walkers only make snacks for M&S, nobody else

I have worked at Walkers and I never saw any brand other than walkers there, so I find this intriguing;)

Just letting you all know that both Aldi and Lidls ready meals have the code "UK WG 035 EC" on the packaging.

Which seems to be the code for Foodpro Manufacturing LDT Wigan. http://www.foodpro.co.uk/index.html

Anyone want to keep an eye out for that code in other supermarkets ready meals?

Doublechecked WG 035. It is indeed Foodpro Manufacturing Ltd in Wigan.
