Marks and Spencer

This roll-on deodorant has been living in my travel backpack since I returned from our family vacation last year in the UK.  

I purchased it at an M&S Simply Foods grocery within walking distance of our digs at the Royal Horseguards Hotel.  As a near lifetime user of Old Spice (original stick formula) deodorant this was a pleasant change of pace.  Not the roll-on feature - the scent.  A very pleasing scent.

Anyway, it's all used-up from traveling since then and I got to wondering if it was available for sale anywhere locally.  Nada.  Not Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Pick & Save or Tadych's.  I didn't find it online at Costco either. 

I did find it for sale (and denominated in USD) at Amazon UK.  Unfortunately, the UK website in typical polite British form regrets to inform me: This item cannot be dispatched to your selected delivery location.  Please choose a different delivery location.

Obviously, somewhere on their side of the pond.

I did find something similar to the UK product available via our Prime account at Amazon.

But I'll give it a rest for the present and return to the comfort of my familiar Old Spice.

Besides, you never know when a travel opportunity might pop-up that results in a return to the UK. 

I can scratch that itch then. 

Meanwhile, if you're traveling to the UK and surrounding environs keep your eye peeled for Marks and Spencer and their smaller M&S Simply Foods.  You have my personal assurance you will find everything thing you need at regular pricing - even in midtown London.  Same for Monoprix in France.

Happy traveling....
