Inspired by the 'UK inflation basket' seeing a rise in liquid's popularity... I'm going with liquid  You can change your vote if you want  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I want to say "PIE!" but I can't, for two reasons  Although liquid hand soap and liquid shower cream is incredibly expensive compared to economy block soap, it saves so much mess and it's so nice to use that I think it really is worth the extra. I don't use that much, so I think it's only a few pounds a year difference. I do have block soap, but I think it must be 20 years old by now. I've also got a few little blocks I won at various hotels, partly because my mum collected them I managed to buy some really nice Imperial Leather hand wash cream for 29p a while back in Sainsbury's, but that was an unusual bargain. It's well worth looking around though; the supermarkets are often cheaper than the pound shop or Wilkinson's. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

PIE!
I use liquid in the toilets and in on the basins in the bathroom, but still prefer a bar of soap in the bath. I use shower gel in the shower.
Given how cheap liquid soap is, there isn't much of a price difference, when you buy the economy versions of both. The lack of mess and the increased hygiene, especially in the toilet, are good reasons to use liquid soap.

Liquid. It's easier and makes much less mess on the sink, mess that I have to clear up.

Thing with liquids is you're buying a lot of water that you don't get in a bar, so they may cost the same but the bar will last a lot longer.

People think liquid soap's a new thing, but Swarfega has been around since I was a small child.

Both. In the kitchen it has to be liquid, in my mind. In the shower/bath I have a bar. At the moment I have liquid (x2) in the bathroom, but bar would be equally happy there.

I suppose washing-up liquid is also a form of liquid soap too.

Liquid all the way. Also, why do women who know I use shower gel rather than shampoo on my head look at me as though I've commited genocide?

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
