Boots offers high street botox injections

Botox injections are to become available on the high street for the first time.

The so-called "temporary facelift", which costs £200, is available at four Boots stores.

The 10-minute procedure involves customers being injected in the forehead with botulin toxin type A, which reduces wrinkles.

Botox, or botulinus toxin, is one of the world's deadliest poisons. It works by paralysing the facial muscles that make wrinkles, and needs to be topped up every few months.

Pearly >>According to the Times, Mr Sandler is expected to recommend the creation of a new class of simple, inexpensive savings products which can be sold without the need for costly financial advice<<

now that's an understatement!

I've always been suspicious they may change the "market/game as we know it". Goldman's IPO had to send up some major warning flags, & there's got to be an awful lot of overhead in running so many financial TV channels - I'd imagine that's only profitable cyclicly & it's over, BWDIK. It's gotta take a while to organize another global pocket picking like this one, thanks in no small part to the cheap satellite dish.
