So i called the garage that did it for £180 five years ago and they quoted  ... wait for it  ... £475

And they began to argue with me that there was no way they ever charged me £180 five years ago even though I said I had the receipt!! Feel like taking the receipt in the next time I'm passing LOL

Best quote so far ... £330

Inflation

But thoroughly disgraceful imo.

Sounds about right !

People parading 'poverty' and the inability to look after their own kids like it's a badge of honour.

I don’t think they’ve been removed from all boxes, Baz, just some.  Apparently Bounty-less boxes have been sent out to 40 selected Tesco shops and they are clearly marked on the box so people still have a choice 😊
