sorry about this folks, but i must get this off my chest. we are always being led to believe, that british is best(for best, read the most expensive). i was just browsing around a few sites late last night,and found what seems, to hit it right on the head

this is a set of jigglers cost $24.95 or £13.21 uk pounds from locksmiths.com
Image
this is the same set of jigglers,worded slightly different, but identical,from keyprint,cost £78.01 or $147.31. now it doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out that i can afford to buy 5 sets from the usa plus the p&p,for less than 1 set from keyprint. now how can this be justified? and where is the motivation to keep us buying british.sorry for the poor pics.ps hope i'm on the right forum.

Yup, thats prety much the same for everything,

Look at the price for ipods, jeans, petrol etc,

Anyone who goes to the US on holiday that i know takes 2 cases 1 with stuff in and one empty, the empty ones come back full of stuff,

Trainers, maglites etc are ridicusly cheap compared to over here,

Keyprint are known for being expensive though,
