        Oh no,

        Can you still get Wright's Coal Tar Soap? Or has that been re named Quiff or Snickers?

                Pardon me, did I read that correctly?:hate-shocked: ... £7.99 for two bars? Are these jumbo sized bars that last a year each or something?:doh: (Sorry, my smilies are not performing again). Doh!:doh::runforhills:

                  They had to change the name as they're not allowed to sell anything with coal tar derivatives. :doh: EU directives :mad:
                  It's now called Wright's Traditional Soap and contains tea tree oil instead (still looks and smells the same). A lot of places still advertise it under the original name.

                    You beat me to it Zigs - loved the smell of Wrights Coal tar Soap :blue thumb:
                    So Shiney its now Wrights Traditional with tea tree oil......I had never heard of tea tree oil up too 2 years ago , how on earth did we manage without it !
                    I presume you can still get Pears Soap , you were very posh if you could afford pears soap :biggrin:

                      I always buy glycerine/honey soap here for my face. I like Fa or another 'deodorant' / freshening soap for my body (can't buy Lifebouy here). :heehee:
