    Next thing you know, they'll make curly-wurlys smaller or reduce the number of cigarettes in a pack to 19 whilst keeping the price the same.

    Curly-wurlys are smaller. When I was a lad they were as big as my arm. ;)

    @OP. You appear to have been ripped off to the tune of 35p. You'd be better off spending the time doing a few online surveys than pursuing this.

    I can see his point. Only 35p or not, I'd be miffed. I don't have takeaways more than three or four times a year, so they're rare treats and I'm already begrudging the price.

    But yes, sadly not worth pursuing... if they were good with customer service they might have offered you a discount for next time and told you to come back direct. Never mind, eh.

    Just Eat is great for offering a choice in one place, and yes, you can get cashback, but if you do have the direct-purchase menu to hand the prices are often cheaper, they often have more deals, and can do discount for collection.

    Don't eat, just cook!

    The issue is the price of a 2l bottle of Coca Cola was £2.80 in my area 6 months ago, the bottle size is smaller, and still being declared as larger and the price is the same.

    Dont buy it then, you save £2.80 and your health.

    If you've gone to the trouble of finding out they've stopped making 2l bottles then why are you still ordering them?
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    No, they don't, cheap cola is not and never will be coca cola.

    Research would disagree with you. Take away the packaging and line up a row of different brand colas and few people can tell which the 'proper' one is.
