Electric Bath Lift for £169.00 at LloydsPharmacy eBay outlet
I know that not everyone needs a bathlift but having seen this for sale locally for over £400 I thought this was a cracking deal.

It has a battery (see the weight specs), so totally safe ;-)

Isn't a battery still electricity?

Ok then that rules out the mother-in-laws birthday present !
In theory if you need one you should be able to get one from your local authority, but unfortunately this isn't possible any more. My uncle needs one, approached his local authority who sent an assessor, agreed he needed one, but they had no money to provide them any more.

What about if you're just lazy? No discrimination please!
What about these electric shower thingies?
Also, if you do get one, make sure you keep the battery charged, it's not good to get stuck half-way lol.
I absolutely agree with you. Unfortunately many local authorites and NHS / public bodies are tied to contracts with certain suppliers who charge exorbitant prices safe in the knowledge that their contracts prevent their clients shopping around.
I did query it once, and was told that the supplier has to guarantee like for like replacement for a period of years after supply, hence they pay more. (sounds ridiculous to me).
My uncle did ask the local authority what the point of sending an assessor out was, if they knew they had no money to provide what he needed, to which they had no answer but offered him a raised toilet seat free ( as some sort of compensation? or perhaps to justify their visit!)
