    I thought you might. Looked it up being nosey - it is a cream which can be used on your privates if you have an itch as well as other places.

      I keep about 4 packets of loratadine tablets in stock in my medicine cabinet. I have to use them, daily, all year round as I have an ' unknown airborne allergy'. They can be hard to source out of hay fever season. The cheep ones are exactly the same as the named brands.

        Always available in morrisons along with cetrizine.
        Yes some of the well known named ones are 3 times the price.

          I take Cetirizine twice a day for a "cough". They don't make me drowsy. You can get ASDA own brand ones with the same ingredients for half the price of ones at the chemist.

          I don't know how much they are in Asda, but they are less than £1 for 30 tablets in B&M and Home Bargains @cactus_girl

              . The Grinch tells the story of a cynical grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl's generous holiday spirit.the girl is now Asda.

                    Stick them in the airfryer afterwards for a few minutes and you get the crispy skin too!

                        I'm really out of touch with the 'modern' world! :scratch:

                        I wouldn't even wait five minutes in the rain for a jacket potato let alone drive a distance to get one. Social media has a lot to answer for and seems to be a perfect way of brainwashing. :doh:

                          There was one guy queueing from 4am who had taken 3 buses and a train to get there! It's not even like they're offering exotic toppings.
