Boots free cholesterol tests

:-/Even though the media advertising (Johnny Wilkinson et al) offers free cholesterol tests, our local Boots store has refused anyone under 45 due to demand but offers a half-price testing kit to those who are under age, Can they do this as their literature says its for everyone

    All of the leaflets in my local Boots clearly state the free test is for over 45's only.

    The tag line for Jonny Wilkinson is 'Even Jonny will need one one day'.

    The poster advertising is I'll agree misleading, but the instore leaflets clearly state that it's for over 45's.

    I wonder if the leaflets are a hasty print job to make it for over 45's only, due to the extra demand?
    I'm so sexy it's a wonder my underpants don't explode.
  • I think you are probably right that they have reprinted the leaflet cos at the outset all ages were given them including 2 of my work pals who are definately under 45 - smacks of the hasty change of T&C of First Direct freebie £25
