Damn that's funny!

[moanthebairns]

I'm confident it'll come just in time for Christmas

[Prof Prolapse]

I got desperate and bought 6 more....I'm sure at least one will turn up.... Right?

[nervous]

This is such an excellent scam, isn't it? It trades on both greed and laziness. bds. I could have wasted that money on almost nothing else.

So I've picked up some of this!


Basically muck off but for the price of £1 yes £1 from pound land! I only got one bottle to try out but it's all good so I'm going back for more

This stuff still available from my local Poundland they had a shelf full but as I was shopping with the Mrs I could only pickup 2. It's going to be put to the test on my currently sh*tty dirty speed triple tomorrow morning. Have used Castrol Greentec and autoglym bike cleaners for many years.

There's tons of it in Poundland at Crown Point in Leeds; I bought a couple to test. I actually still had a bottle and a half of Muc-Off to compare it with.

Colour is identical, smell is identical, "feel" is identical and it works just the same. I swear it's the exact same stuff, but 12.5% of the price.

I guess it's like Red Bull - you're paying a load for their race teams, F1 etc etc.

I should add I've almost used 3/4 of a bottle now of my two I bought, it seems to do its job just fine for the initial dirt removal - personally I just use it on the lower parts of my bike that really suffer with use in rain rad/engine/swing arm, wheels, shock areas. Not bad for £1 a bottle

[CAPP0]

Received my calipers and heat gun today. Reasonable quality, all working, all good. I can confirm that the dog gets 0.1 degree hotter after I've made him run for a few balls

Could it just be a scam that we have fallen for?

I hope its not. The width of various household items are waiting to be measured.

[The Beaver King]

Possibly....

Well, at least we know who to blame!

I checked the sellers feedback and cancelled my order.

Dreadful reviews.

Mine was supposed to be delivered last Thursday. I am holding out for it until the end of the week and then I will cancel it. Ever the optimist.

Hmm let me guess most likey due to it being a complete Muc off knockoff or new sticker rebrand on the same stuff out the back door of the factory LOL

I've received the standard email from Amazon asking me to comment on my purchase - including "Was it delivered on time". For £2 I'm not going to cancel, certainly not for a while. Let's see.

Went into Aldi today to pick up a pair of cheap biking Jeans for £35. They had about 5 pairs mostly sizs 32" and 1 36". Rather than hung on the rack they was in a sale type basket. They had £12.99 on the tags so was well chuffed. Got to the till and they went through as £8.99! Great price imo. Unfortunately the 36" was slightly too big for my son but they fit me just fine
