I think Tim is referring to the Diall zinc carbon non-rechargeable PP9 (not the smaller PP3) currently on offer at Screwfix. Dry PP9s of any make normally retail at between £4 and £6 so £1.94 looks like a bargain. Guess it's a clearance item with not too many available off the shelf at a store near you. Still available via the 'next day' Internet service though.

Incidentally, Ni-Mh rechargeable PP9s seem to retail at around £40 or more these days.
