I know this is true as I had not yet bought this year's sunblock when it was very hot and sunny a week or two ago. After a rummage in the cupboard I found a sachet of factor 20 (free with a mag) dated 2007(!). "Better than nothing" I thought, so applied to face and neck and rubbed what was left on my arms. After a day in the garden I could see exactly which bits my fingers had streakily managed to cover and which bits were bright pink! I was all stripey, but face and neck were fine.

see my updated post - cancerhelp says 2-3 years max, absolutely nothing over 5 years so say 37 bottles over 5 years is using 7.4 bottles a year, which with a big family is doable but otherwise quite a hard slog in this country at least!! there's other sun protection products in the offers so probably not worth getting so much of one thing unless you do want to share it. just because it stops you getting a bad bit of sunburn doesnt mean its blocking the uv radiation like it should be, so better safe than sorry as far as skin cancer is concerned!

I think you will find what the OP purchased is a FAKE tan, not intended for use as a sunscreen.

With our ever un-reliable weather I am going to treat myself to some May as well seeing as it would be rude not to as I have already purchased this

Just knocked up an app this morning cus I was bored. Called it Mr.T

Shows the spreadsheet as a searchable grid. You can also order it by the columns available.

Clicking in the grid gives you a preview at ASDA.com so you can check the price.

And there's a noddy shopping list as well.

Oh it requires .net framework 3.5 (which is already on vista/win7 I think?).

Link is here:-

Enjoy :rotfl:

This should be added to the first post, its a really good way of looking at the spreadsheet and it does the searches for you on asda etc.

I think what amazes me is that asda hasnt used this opportunity to do some damage to tesco. If I was them I'd be looking at products that were on the compare list already and doing a rollback on them all for 2 weeks. more sales from the people still going to asda, and cash coming out of the coffers of Tesco. Someone posted that the store gets money sent from HO for each voucher but I cant see why HO would send the store money for a voucher. yes sales are up at the stopre, but ultimately the bottom line is down and i bet stores are more graded for their profitability than how much stuff they sell, profit or loss, otherwise everything would be on managers special! Wouldnt really make sense for HO to send money to a store from a budget either when surely all takings will be routed centrally as its not a franchise? I'd imagine there is a budget on the whole campaign though, thats a given. Imagine if asda slashed Bacardi to £10 (etc) and kept it in stock on their website! there'd be a run on tesco!

Was just thinking that they coulkd do some bad damage to tesco, I think there is more staff at asda who know about this promotion than the staff at tesco.
if i were asda i would be encouraging all my staff to take advantage of this promotion at tesco .

Good morning all I am off out to take my son to football for 2 hours then to say hello to Mr T. I am glad that I was pointed to a 2nd version of the SS in post 2 but not glad that for some strange reason I can't view it anymore on my 3G phone. It used to be fine a couple of days ago but now the SS loads up but there is no data shown (empty cells). Anyway hope everyone enjoys the weather and
Happy St George's day.:beer:

Same here. It loads up then the cells appear empty.
