NO. It is the implied [i]allegation[/i] of 18 quid for a toilet roll that is "just bloody crazy".

Look at the photo properly.

That label shows the Price PER [b]PACK[/b] of [b]18 [/b]rolls!

The rolls are £(17.99 / 18) each: a fraction of a penny under ONE POUND EACH.

The people alleged to have "blasted" the shop are too dense to have spotted that, they spread it, it gets repeated on here and people fall for it. [i]Why[/i]?

@ArishMell If you'll see my response to you further down, per roll they are charging over [b]DOUBLE[/b] the usual price.

This is quite simply price gouging.

@Quizzical OK - no I only saw the photo. I beg your pardon.

If they have doubled the price it is wrong though they might have thought it would limit hoarding.

@ArishMell No problem.
