I've just read various posts, that say that each posters phenidone lasts for sometime years, with no problem.

Check out PE's post #2 from an older thread about it;

Yes, this is clearly nonsense. He has decent overall ratings but his attitude when something goes wrong does not exactly inspire confidence. I don't buy such things from eBay, but it's a warning to others about this particular seller.

He could usefully take a leaf out of the Chinese book of customer service. I have never had a situation with a (legitimate) Chinese seller who did not apologise and send a replacement by return or a refund, no questions asked. Of course, this is just them protecting their seller ratings, but it works for the buyer too.

Also, of course, they often do not actually have stock of what they are selling and then can't find it at a profitable price locally to resell to you so give you a cock-and-bull story about how the quality was not good enough so they sent all their stock back to the manufacturer, or some equally ludicrous nonsense. They might insult your intelligence, but you will get an immediate refund!

Cheers, Bob.

I still have a couple of Rayco booklets.

Summer 1993 price list has Phenidone priced at
25g £3.32p,
100g £11.29p,
500g £48.19p.

I had a quite few bits and pieces from them.


The storey of Mikes shirt reminded me of a phone in on Radio Merseyside.
The chap calling in told how a couple of door to door builders advised him his chimney stack brickwork needed repointing.
He let them do the work and paid up.
It looked champion he said until it rained one day, and the lovely brickwork peeled off.
They had only gone and wrapped the chimney stack in brick print wallpaper.

Cheers.
