    Does anyone know of anywhere that sells it in bulk?

    I'd like a cheap big bag to go into my cleaning box alongside the 5l bottle of vinegar and 3kg bag of bicarb :p

    The site I mentioned above sells stuff in bulk. They do a courier service for up to 25 kilos, larger bulk orders can be made by email and include borax, bicarb, vinegar etc.

    So why are they not allowed to stock it? :confused:

    Can it be used in bomb making and stuff? :eek:

    It can be used to cut drugs, I believe. I eventually found it half a mile up the road in a branch of Boots. I must live in a drug baron's manor :eek:

    Don’t think it’s out on dvd yet so cinema is the only high quality option. There were some bootleg dvd copies in our local car boot last week
