I was just looking in the 2009 T&M Fruit Collection Catalogue. p21.
I almost had a fit. The cost of the Citrus Tree Feed is quoted as £9.99 each 250g.
Being sure I had not paid that much, I went to the cupboard to find mine (bought in Oct 08). The price label sticker still on it says £3.65. It is EXACTLY THE SAME PRODUCT. Purchased from my local nursery. Taking the pi** or what?
Are they ripping us off or did I get an amazing deal?

(I was going to post this in 'News & Views' (being a 'view' of mine) but there is no New Topic button.)

Proberly taking the P***

They're just taking the T and M - as usual.

A fairly arbitrary search shows T&M's pricing policy - "Charge double".

Example Algon Path Cleaner

Greenfingers £6.85

Thompson & Morgan £13.99

The words rip, off and artists come to mind.

But then, would anyone buy anything from T & M

T&M are not the only P***Takers, for years I have promised myself a DRIZA-BONE Australian bush jacket with double shoulders [of course] but the UK price of approx £195 plus £4.99 P&P put me off, went on-line to Australia, cost of said jacket £55 ,to have it flown to the UK £22 total cost £75, and they wonder that they are loosing customers to the Internet. Strewth I feel better now. Happy new year to you all.
