We've tried ... a few years back they did "allow" members of car clubs to go on the "list".
You have to prove that you are associated with the motor trade.

I guess it depends on how their sales are going

What is the required proof, and can this be fudged
Based on the number of emails and the decline in all retail sales I suspect sales are not going that well

[Wittsend]

Have a look HERE

How or what you claim to be is your business....

It's a bit like B&Q trade cards, I suspect staff have quotas to meet and if you are there on the right day you'll sign you uk for anything.

I have a couple of friends who have Halfords Trade cards but not in the trade.

For me Halfords is a last ditch place on Sunday afternoon, their tools are good but service parts and oil are cheaper at normal motor factors.

The Halfords classic oil is cheaper than the duckhams, I've used it the last few years and my engine is spotless inside to the extent I struggle to see the oil level on the dipstick.

I picked up Halfords Classic Oil the other week. Im not eligible for a trade card, but with various vouchers i had and a ten percent discount i get through work it cost me £14

Wilko has 10/40 mineral oil at £14/5L, oil in a shiny can with a pic of a leather bound steering wheel is £21/5L 
My son topped up at the village filling station for £11/LITRE!!
How's THAT Andy

The only benefit I can see in using that Duckhams would be nostalgia.

I'm still brainwashed by the adverts of my youth:

Castrol GTX is liquid engineering.
Fairy bubbles last longer then other liquids.
Persil washes whiter than white.
Pedigree Chum is solid nourishment.
8 out of 10 cats prefer mice (did I remember that one correctly?)
Do the shake and vac.
I'm a secret lemonade drinker, except I'm not because I gave it up in favour of beer and wine.

You'll wonder where the yellow went, (can't go further back, the first TV advert I believe  )
Otherwise this thread could run and run....until it's locked 

[rustynuts]

Ah yes, toothpaste I believe. Before my time, I think my granddad told me about it!

Quick Wittsend, get your padlock out before this goes downhill any further!

[Porkscratching]

Not forgetting that...."1001 cleans a big, big carpet for less than half a crown...."

[martinthefirst]

You'll wonder where your teeth have gone if you clean them with an atom bomb.

[Dentman]

Ah yes, recalling the happy days of the playground

Thanks for the feedback on Mannol.

I actually got the price wrong, it is 66 euros for 20 litres and 33 euros for 10 litres, but still the best price by far out of the options I have.

PTT
