Doesnt seem too terrible to me - will we not be able to get camomile tea next?

[Maude32]

Lol, I was just thinking wouldn't it be funny if sunny Dave posted the same link as me or I posted the same link as him.

Not relevant, but interesting that they are selling Propain on that site as well - I've not been able to buy that in any chemist for about a year now!

A google around produced this :

"SSL International used to produce the powders.

SSL sold out to a company called Reckitt Benckiser late last year. Since the buy out there has been a dispute regarding the manufacturing rights. This dispute is still ongoing and at present no powders are being produced. "

There are some people selling their last stock for silly prices on Amazon and Ebay ...

That's terrible, now all of those babies have to suffer whilst these two large global giants fight over something they probably could easily let go.
