The little lady was very upset standing there, she was worried about the way her dress seemed so baggy and long on her

body, for years she,d had this dress and it had never hung so badly.

Well no one informed her that Andrex toilet rolls were no longer soft strong and long but had shrunk by almost two inches wide and had less width than before.

But no shrinking of the price. Andrex need to tell us something about there new smaller size toilet roll.

Any other sneaky product changes out there?

The UK Cadbury's Creme Egg is 39g and 180 calories. Despite rumours, it's been that size since the modern one was introduced in 1971.


The US and Canada's are only 34g and 150m calories.


Diddled 'em.


The AU and NZ Egg's are no longer manufactured locally, but instead are now imported from the UK, resulting a size reduction from 40g to 39g.


Ha ha!

Coffee. Does anyone remember when coffee (to take-away, how exotic) was served in polystyrene cups, and if you timed it right, you'd get a lid before they ran out of them. Lucky you.


Seems like those cups were tiny compared to the sheer volumes on offer now where you need two hands to carry them.


Fairy cakes. These were pre-cupcake mania. They were really dainty compared to the gigantic offerings you get now.


I'm sure bubble gums used to be bigger tho.

pablogrande is right - Toblerone became an Alp shorter so Poundland can still stock them! Cabury's also cut two chunks off to key the RRP.


There was also a Panarama programme recently about supermarkets deliberately pricing stuff in a confusing way so people can't easily work out the best deal.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day. 
    • GP not willing to refer you on? Say, to King's or similar. Odd
