Checked yesterday, Tesco had C and D. But they were right at the top of the display.

I was just going to say someone will come up with a converter if they phase out that size..........then I see it's already been done!

Had to go to Sainsbury’s tonight so had a look and there were C & D cells but right at the bottom of the display.

Penty of Varta C and D cells in my local B & Q tonight.

The big supermarkets in Scunthorpe have them as well as Wilko's, in fact Wilko's had the best range of batteries that I've seen in a while, with 6 and 9 volt types on the isle end display.
