[QUOTE="Copernicus, post: 1792962, member: 377230"] An update re Boots. I bought a sensor from my small local Boots pharmacy for £35 but was informed that they would no longer be able to supply me as it was "company policy" Today I went to a large Boots pharmacy to see if they would supply them and was told they would. When I asked a price they quoted me £53, more if they added the VAT. When I pointed out that I had bought one for £35 from a smaller branch and that I could get them for £35 from Superdrug and £44 from Asda, I was told that head office had realised that by selling them for £35 they were not making any profit hence the price rise. So thanks for that Boots, another example of a British institution screwing you over. I have already written a letter of complaint to the managing director. [/QUOTE]
