    I do not in any way believe that Durex are raising the prices of their products, i believe it is a stealth tax from our government.


    opinions anyone?

    Tax is set by legislation.

    You cannot have a secret tax.

    And retailers will do their utmost to avoid any taxes.

    Thought priests were chaste?

    Stealth tax

    Vat was increased in the budget with effect from 1 December btw.

    They're raising the prices of condoms to put them out of the reach of the lower classes. Therefore increasing the birth rate and population and thus keeping us in a constant state of recession.

    Or at least thats what Run_to_the_hills told me :rolleyes:

    I presumed it was because they wanted more tax payers in the future.

    Or maybe, just maybe Durex, as a company decided they wanted to make more money for their board and shareholders, so they put an increase on the price of their product, like the milk company does, and newspaper, bread maker etc etc It just might be that simple.

    Yeah they are putting up the prices of condoms to help with global depopulation of 80%

    This forum is truely ridiculous.

    Alot of ye go on all day about how awake and free-minded ye are, while following around Alex Jones' ill-informed bull****.

    Everything's the devil!
    Yeah, the same BS that got us to this state in the first place that worked 100s of years ago. Ye really should be smarter than your ancestors, that's evolution.

    I'm out anyway, hopefully you'll start using your brains instead of pretending you do.

    Vat on rubbers condoms was reduced a few months ago to 13.5%.
    Thats known as the service rate btw. :D

    Now thats just crazy talk! Throw some aliens in the mix and I might pay more attention.

    I have all the bargain hunters beaten, $3.38/€2.50 for 50

    And the marketing tag line
    Product of China -- where locals rely on such products to avoid birth control penalties (the government legally enforces birth control and fines "overage")
    So they must be good!
