Very good video and more poignant today than then. Some clever gits out there making those videos.

I couldn’t believe the price of that stuff at £7.30 a tub!

Castrol LM on my bread from now on 😀

[Malc]

actually the Aldi own brand   Beautifully Butterly   spread  stuff at 85p a tub is quite delicious on their Aldi own .......... honey infused, sliced 800gm loaf at maybe £1.19 a loaf ......  I have this with my breakfast every morning  BUT yes, the other 'arf has Lurpak too when she's feeling " rich " 

I refuse to buy the stuff now !   ( that could be me in the video too )

An interesting coincidence Steve - 1 litre of petrol weighs approx 750 grams and costs £2 which we all think is scandalous 🤯. Yet the £7.30 lurpak is in fact for a 750 gram tub 🤔, so my question is are the owners of lurpak taking petrol as a guide to what they get away with 😎

Perhaps they should join up with DFS and offer 4 years interest free credit and pay nothing for the first year. 

They could also rebrand slightly and call it “Lurpak spread the cost”

A little known fact - I met Noel Edmonds at the Gunnar Nilsson Memorial Trophy at Donington Park in June 1979. I did have his autographed photo but in the intervening 43 years, it appears to have gone walkies.

That was a stroke of luck then...

Cannot recall seeing such a large tub of butter on the shelves, so when you look at the normal sizes the Lurpack seems to be about the same price as the others (more or less)

Clever marketing ploy by someone ?

What's that got to do with the price of fish? 🤔🤣

Typically they started out at 250, then 500 then 1kg. 750 was introduced to make a big tub look more of a bargain - so yes.

That's a pretty tenuous thread James. 😊, connecting youthful adulation and swooning with the price of fuel, Lurpack or fish 🐟⛽😱

Well I couldn't find the origin of lurrr, but I did for lurry which I quote "A confused heap; a throng or jumble," are you part of that throng Malc as I only recall Lurpack in the singular not plural 😎
