That's a new restriction that they are putting into place.
They say order must be combined with a £5 charger.
But they have NOT implemented that restriction in their website programming, yet.

I can confirm that you can order without adding the charger

I'll add this to the 'Prepping Prices on the Move' thread.

Mind you, if I'd had to pay for the charger, it would still have been a great price for 8 eneloop pro's.
MAYBE they have that restriction of having to buy the charger instore. But I can't see it happening.

I use button lights on things like keyrings and zip pulls on jacket, simple, push or push and lock, @50p each less if you bulk buy. Very bright emitter on them.

Hey Andy, Have you got one of those 'Lightsabre' torches yet? The ones with Youtube ads showing them cutting through polythene and paper plates? Or even one of these...

If anyone needs a new winter jacket there is a good bargain on ebay. Montane Men's Prism hooded jacket, big price reduction £135 (latest model list is £140) reduced to £79.99 in various colours and sizes. Size is true. I have a 2018 version, XL and I am 155 lb, 5 ft 9. I should probably be wearing an L now (lost weight), but I don't mind it being a bit big.
They are very warm, technical, and pack small. Obviously they have all the features mountaineers expect like rear hood volumer adjuster, stiffened peak etc. Primaloft Silver insulation. OK in a bit of drizzle but not waterproof.
