    a mid sized tube of colgate total costs 4 quid here--toiletries are really expensive -i spent most of my summer holiday scouring and clearing the shelves of well known uk shops--wilkinsons is tops for toothpaste in my reckoning!(other shops selling toothpaste are available).--i have a enough toothpaste for 2 families for 2 years now but boy does it eat up the baggage allowance!!
