There seems to be a country wide shortage of it just now…

I’m having to use a mitchums but it stinks of chewing gum…

I’ve tried the missus sure cream stick which smells nice…

That’s all (Brexit win 🤷🏼‍♂️)
 
I'm a loreal roll on kinda guy. I think plenty about and pretty cheap.

I gave up on actual spray cans years ago.
 
It could be a another commercial dispute (as per Heinz/Tesco) where the manufacturer says they will not supply at last years price, the retailer says I am not paying and so they get no stock.

Brexit has discouraged very specialist products in small quantites to be imported and sometimes delayed deliveries but in general not halted deliveries. However Sure roll ons are sold in their millions.

Its getting a bit tricky in food retail land.
Most are 'reasonable' about cost price increases as long as the supplier can justify it.
The process is pretty robust but there is a lot of tooing and froing.
Some suppliers try it on and some retailers are tough to convince.

Heinz v Tesco is one helluva face off.

In our business we have accepted loads of increases and sent others back to the drawing board.
There is also a reverse process agreed - as cost prices decrease retailers will be going back for reductions in price.

It’s not just one outlet though…

I’ve looked in tesco Asda B and M and others…
 
Is Sure owned by Unilever? I know Unilever can be strong willed because of their enormous size evidence the Marmite dispute. If they get into dispute with a few retailers there will be a rush on all supplies.

LIDL and ALDI bring in a lot of food from the EU area. There has been a few problems I have noticed at LIDL, but in general over 95% seems to be getting through as it did before BREXIT.

We had trouble trying to find 0% Alumunium free Soft & Gentle it seemed to vanish over night. It was £1 roll on for a number of year then a few weeks Tesco was selling 0% Sansex for an unbelievable £7 roll on.:eek:

Most deooderants contain Aluminium which is unhealthy for humans. (memory loss/dementia over time)

Lynx???

Didn’t you grow out of using that at the age of 16???? You’ll be telling me you put your dads brut on too.

I dunno…..

Reminds me of the last time I went to the cinema, I was sat near some hormonal teenager who reeked of Tommy Hilfiger. Hope the poor lass he was trying to impress liked it.
