Yeah - it was a group of Eastern Eropean guys. The investigation also found huge quantities of smuggled cigs and they found multiple butt-ends on the floor of the 'laboratory'. Ethanol vapour is explosive. Who knew?

"Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire.

The World Famous Moonshine maker from The Appalachian Mountains known as Popcorn Sutton had said about this happening before, if the vapour that comes off when "cooking" gets too hot the whole lot goes up in a huge bang & can kill you.
I am NO Chemist & only got GCSE Science but even I know stuff related to Alcohol will blow up & at the least burn with that weird kind of Blue Flame if it gets too hot, if you had the equipment to make your own "Shine" you would assume that you had basic wisdom to know it's dangerous.

Can you give a short, Idiot-proof reason why CH₃OH is way more deadly to people than CH₃CH₂OH

What was it called? Searched Sainsbury's for it but drew a blank. I used to like living near a Sainsbury's. The selection is superior to every mainstream supermarket bar Waitrose.

So are the prices.

There are only two shops I can possibly reach to buy food. A Sainsbury's and an Aldi. Every day I witness the staff of the Sainsbury's putting a jacket over their uniform or otherwise cocealing it... and going and buying everything at the Aldi.

I got to know a couple of people who work at the Sainsbury's because we are all disabled. So I asked if there was a staff discount. There is. 10% (15% on certain items at certain times). But whatever the detail, the optics are not great.

How can Sainsbury's get away with charging £2.25 for an energy drink when even the local cornershop sells them for £1.79 and let's not forget, the point of a cornershop is you accept the high prices for the convenience.

Even a good mate who used to regularly go to Sansbos has 'crossed the floor' to Aldi and now, if we shop together, he will pick up an item and ask me to guess how much he WAS paying.
 
Well, I have boycotted the Co-op. The clue is in the name. It was set up as a non-for-profit chain to provide those with limited budgets access to the basics. My grandmother told me the three numbers she never forgot were the first telephone number they had and the two Co-op membership numbers her family used.

Now the Co-op business model is to be just far enough out of town to make it a bus ride and increase prices based on knowing that. The other is to go into villages and wipe out every other shop. I've experienced BOTH.

If you ever have cause to doubt, check out the Co-op web page. Last time I looked, they devoted just 87 words to 'our history'. I checked Porsche at the same time and they devoted 184 words. Nuff said.

As I said, Asda is a bit odd. I would buy 7 tins of their own-brand soup (to be drunk cold from the can), two loaves of their own brand brown bread and a block of their own brand cheese. And the herbal tea. But in the end, the tea was costing me more than the soup!
 
Co-Op is pricey - definitely the most expensive option easily visited from here - and product options are limited.

They even voted to end customer cash back for loyalty card members. Admittedly they doubled what goes to charity (ours goes to a local food bank). But that’s still £50-100 per year gone from our Xmas fund :\

However, they have banned all Israeli products along with those from any other country the members consider “problematic” which I kinda think rocks.

Overall I’d say a mixed bag at best… but they’re also the closest - literally a five minute walk as opposed to half an hour to the other two.

tl;dr - swings and roundabouts as with all things :!
 
Yeah - full disclosure. I DO shop at Sainsbury's but only to buy grapefruit juice. If you shop every day you do see inflation in action and in what... three months even with my Necter card, eight cartons of juice have gone from £9 to £9.60. I should make it clear that I only do that when someone gives me a lift. My carer takes me each week.

My 'luxury' consists of going for a coffee with her each week (since it's right next to the Sainsbos).

Could be much worse. I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach, warmth and a small circle of good friends. So each day I'm still greatful that in spite of stuff, I'm hanging in there!

Used to laugh at the Co-Op offers when I lived near one. They'd often give about five pence off. Some of their own brand beers were nice though.

Two of these with a valium this morning, after broken sleep. The kind of sleep where you only realise you're on the threshold when you're fading in and out of reading a non-existent book.

There aren't too many Co-ops in this town as with Tesco Express, Tesco has stolen the Co-op plan and used it themselves. The few there are are close to things like the NHS walk in centre - which to me tells you how low they will go.

Gave up on alcohol in the morning 25 years ago. Fair play, I had been drinking 2 bottles of gin each day for over a year. All I know is I kept a diary when I stopped and while I still have it, I still canot bear to read it.
 
Rheinbacher pilsner (Aldi branded Krombacher) again.

Halbtrocken Riesling in the fridge. Two varieties of hash to go with it, and a blue just dropped. I predict a mellow evening unless I get the staggers once my NHS drugs kick in.

I commend you on that.its not easy being addicted to alcohol I think the great Oliver Reed said it best "if I do have a drink problem I think I would be brave enough to drink myself into the grave" which he did sadly but not without a stiff upper lip
 
Same old Henry westons plus I have a bottle of red wine and as an extra bonus I found my wife's legitimate stash of 15mg Co codamol and Di hyrocodine 10mg .she gets it prescribed but never takes it ,I found it in her sowing bag after over an hour searching .between the 2 there's over 100 .what a scumbag I am ,I don't feel bad now but I will when she comes back from Iceland.[the country] but that's 2 weeks away so might be able to replace it hopefully .I told her to hide them properly like in the loft or something.
 
Co-dydramol you say? Then be aware that the CWE will not work with dihydrocodeine tartrate. Unlike codeine phosphate, it's just not soluble enough in water to ensure that one can remove dangerous amounts of paracetamol. I think people misunderstand the CWE. It will not remove ALL of the paracetamol, the goal is just to ensure that you are not consuming too much.

Even then, I tell people to go to a health food shop, buy methionine. Belt and braces.

I'm SO glad I'm out of all that nonsence and have been for decades.

The water was clear and although I didn't weigh before hand all the apap was in the filter .you got me worried now
 
But I've been eating 2 x co drydamol straight before work because I know you can have 1000mg paracetamol no probs then cwe the rest . The Co codamol comes out cloudy but I think someone said that could be some sort of filler or the same thing they used for skimmed milk .?but the junk is in the filter or I could be talking out my arse which is where my liver might end
