Ok fair enough, i dont know the people there that well and just pay the book prices less discount etc, i wasnt aware they could be bargined with i will have a go next time im after an expensive item, cheers.
Bump,the reason Chris and I are a little "precious" regarding SKS is that some freinds of ours have a shop close by and untill recently they used to cut a large amount of keys for the local council that is until the ever helpful and curteous SKS sold said council key machines and key blanks.They will also sell tools that actually say on the boxes/packets "only to be sold to bona fide locksmiths" to plumbere glazers and any other Tom dick or harry.
Thats why we are a little precious about them.Also i dont beleive Chris was calling you a Noddy.
