Re Male Shower Radio and Shower Gel Was £10, Now £2.25

I got charged £3.75 for this even though it said £2.25 on the shelf, the assistant told me that the computer doesn't always get the price right. Had to go and get the difference refunded. - Shame they don't have the same policy as tesco's!

Please don't take this the wrong way but this is not the place to voice this opinion, call their customer services and tell them about Tesco's policy put pressure on these companies to follow suit, they overcharge us with gay abandon at the moment as there is no incentive to correct mistakes unless someone notices them and then it is only rectified for the individual and not for all, thousands will follow you through the till and pay the extra either because they don't notice or don't want the embarrassment of the confrontation, these mistakes are as often deliberate as they are accidental it is the retail trades way of pulling a fast one and is widespread.

Martin if your reading this please consider a crusade along these lines, these companies shred us of our earnings through their dishonesty and incompetence hit them where it hurts I say REFUND AND REPLACE FOR ALL NOT JUST TESCO!!

Durex Avanti (non-latex) condoms - not available on NHS. £7.99 for 5 but on 3 for 2. Cheapest anywhere including on-line that I've found. Available in store (in Cambridge at least) and on-line for those shy to buy but note on-line orders attract P&P.

I got a really nice ELC Noah's ark. Should be £15, selling for £5.99 (+10 discount).

Lots of other ELC toys going cheap too, including things from the Blossom farm range.

I got mine in Milton Keynes, although larger Boots all over the country sell ELC toys.
