    FBB Fertiliser - can't believe the price

    Today 4kg of FBB was delivered for £4.00! I'm pretty sure the price was wrong, it's now gone up to £8.99.Well done Westland for honouring the mistake, not that they had an option I think.

    I generally find that if it starts to slow it just gets slower and slower. Clearly even the problem isn't consistent:sad:

    Has anybody else downloaded it yet? I was surprised and confused to see they show distance to gardens in km not miles. Why? Road distances in the UK are still measured in miles.

    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    Just to clarify - I don't have an issue with people getting their prescription items on-line, simply concerned that there are many rogue traders out there and people need to investigate thoroughly.
