Yes I agree with Andrex.
We’ve swopped to a different brand too.

Most things have shrunk in size, except for the price. 🤬

The joys of shrinkflation!!

I've always avoided using a lot of anti-bacterial stuff. I wash my hands when I need to but have always felt that we're better off developing immunity to germs. I remember a friend who worked in a school. She spent a few years catching every bug going but is now immune to iabsolutely everything. There are definitely a lot more allergies these days and I think it's because the overuse of antibaterials is stopping immune systems from developing  :'(

Andrex aren’t what they used to be either.   I have found a cheap decent alternative at one of the supermarkets

I bought 24 rolls of something when doing a poorly friend's shop.  She thought it hilarious I bought 24 but they were only £5.  Tesco.  She told me they are really good quality.  I must ask her again what the brand was.

Agree!  I try not to get anti bacterial anything.  I just like my soap to lather when in the shower as the whole thing is a pilaver since meno  ;D

I understand. I tried a shampoo and no matter how much I used it didn't lather. So frustrating!
