I have no personal knowledge of how this works in DIY. But in the

And many are not. Which is why, for example, Kelloggs make a point of
stating "We don't make cereal for anyone else".
However that does not necessarily mean that Portable Foods
Manufacturing Co Ltd does not supply both Kelloggs and ANOther. Even
if Portable Foods etc is wholly owned by Kelloggs.

indeed. I simply cannot tell the difference between kellogs and Waitrose
'own brand' apart from the color of the box, and the price.


Poor you!

In my University days I had a friend who was studying medicine. He
was involved in a research project that involved establishing the
nutritional content of breakfast cereals, including corn flakes.

In his own time he carried out the same tests on the packaging, and
found that it had a greater nutritional value than the contents. ;-)


that all right. I only eat em twice a year anyway.
