Classic. In an article about a US lawsuit Mercopenguin uses a photo of a product in a 5 “litre” container with a label promising some sort of 3 “pound” rebate. No doubt the reporter found this particular product in the stores of Montevideo - but most definitely not in 'Port Stanley' which many of you more skeptical readers might think.

This sort of mistake is just plain incompetence The British tax payer deserves a lot better from their propaganda organizations!

@ 2 Whatever you call yourself, you are still mentally defective.

You haven't mentioned 25 years on this one.

Are you slipping into a coma? Let's hope so.

Of course it is hazardous to human health. You are not supposed to drink it, wash in it or breathe the spray.

I use it in the garden BUT take precautions by wearing rubber gloves, protective clothing and spraying ONLY in still conditions.

The crocodile tears about the“poor British taxpayer” is risible.

Now the W.H.O. has said that eating red meat can cause cancer...that's Argentina stuffed !

So, what are you saying? Are you claiming that Mercopenguin is run out of the UK and not Uruguay as claimed?
