Talcum Powder itself now seems to have disappeared from sale, presumably because of the realisation that a lot of it is contaminated by asbestos.
You know you're getting older when you realise the last time you went into a bank was to close an account a week before the branch itself closed.We recently received a three figure payment from NatWest complaints dept following an upheld dispute. It came in the form of a hand written cheque. Quite surprised us that did. The teller at Barclays was amused as well. We would have processed it ourselves but the writer must have been an ex-doctor and I wasn't sure if the automated system was up to the task.
It is available on Amazon, I buy it for my mother, as she is 93 and has used it all her life I won't worry too much about what is in the tin
I use talcum powder after showering due to a skin complaint. When in Italy, I buy bottles of Neutro-Roberts Borotalco, which is manufactured from Borax which occurs naturally in high-pressure hot springs in the South-Western part of Tuscany and is a by-product of the geothermal power generation industry. I usually bring back a few plastic bottles of it to the UK with me.
Yes.

Is that now a requirement even if the buyer is collecting the item in person from the seller instead of having it sent? In the past I have occasionally paid or taken payment in cash for items that I was selling or collecting in person.
It certainly is on Vinted - my daughter sold some stuff to someone on her course, and had to go through the full payment and posting rigmarole
Yes, although that's a much more recent change introduced a couple of years ago.
