Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I switched England off to watch
Westworld on Sky Atlantic
It's a sci-fi western thriller. If you 'go with the flow' of it, it's pretty good.
Anyone else watching it?

Time to BOYCOTT the Guilty party >>> UNILEVER
Unilever have been putting pressure on the Supermarkets to rise the prices of their products by 10%. Just another brute force from a EU company. Blaming the weak currency when this is a smokescreen to raise prices, as some of the products are made in the UK.
By stopping buying their products is one way of getting the message, sales weakening, less profits, etc.
The best would be not to buy any of UNILEVER products naturally....... Ariel, marmite, Axe / Lynx, Blue Band, Dermalogica, Dove, Flora, Heartbrand, Hellmann's, Knorr, Lipton, Lux, Magnum, Omo, Rexona, Surf, Sunsilk....

IS DEMOCRACY IN THE UK FINISHED LISTENING TO THE PARLIAMENT PROGRAME YESTERDAY ,
it appears that our MPS think we should not be listened too .
and the vote to leave the eu should not be taken as a serous vote .
so is it now pointless to vote for anything again ,
mps who do not except the result ate a damn disgrace full of their own shit .
we may as well stop voting as its pointless

Re Tesco. I'm not sure that it is up to Tesco to decide the prices that a supplier charges. That sounds like Venezuela. Eventually the shelves are empty. Better to take the Unilever products as consignment stock and, instead of the usual "now 10% cheaper", advertise them as "now 10% more expensive!" alongside cheaper alternatives. Then let the consumer decide.

if unilever's products are "crap anyway", then why were you buying them in the first place?

They're Tanker They're crap. Your spelling is getting as bad as that of Hays. I must admit I don't buy any of the products listed. Nor do I go to Tesco often.

Unilever pulling a fast one because when UK profits are taken into US parents books at year end the conversion rate will have an adverse effect on their performance.
Any of the products named that are made in this country and supplies sourced locally will not cost them a penny more to make.
Any they source from overseas in foreign currency they have probably hedged anyway and more fool them if they haven't.
Well done Tesco for standing up to them. It won't be Tesco that loses out.

I wonder if they would try that with Walmart , they tell Unilever how it's going to be and unilever jump. Read the Walmart effect ,it's a very interesting read .
