    cheap.


    No wonder every where is closing down when you have shops selling stuff that cheap. We will end up with just a few 'mega stores' selling stuff in the u.k soon.

    Manufactories should make every one sell at a simular price. That way people return for your customer service and how good you are at your job rather than return because your cheap.

    I`m pretty sure electrical goods are not allowed to be sold under a certain price,but with that there is the grey area of price fixing and every week we see on the news big companys being taken to court because they have came to price arangements with theri competitors

    The problem there is it only takes one to break the rules and the system breaks down.

    we are killing our country tho and what wealth it has left.

    For instance, we buy cheap as we all like a bargain.

    We then have to sell our stuff cheap as the shop over the road is cheaper and offering the bargain.

    So we dont actually save money searching for bargains as we loose money on the next flooring we sell. Works out pretty even i guess.

    BUT, tax, fuel, houses, utility bills etc are going up, they are not getting cheaper and offering us a bargain. So we end up worse off as we earn less but the cost of living goes up. Then the staff at the big company's get greedy and don't wont to take a pay cut as a result of selling stuff cheaper so that in tern makes that company's over heads to high and the work gets shipped out to china.

    All because people like the shop above are selling stuff to cheap and we have to follow suit.

    Some of you will not know but that company used to sell flooring from that site!

    they pulled out because they were not making enough money. One of the first companies I dealt with.

    It could well be they are selling old stock from 2010 as those ones pictured are no longer available from Snickers as they were 2010 range the 2011 range changed in colour and design, still worth a punt if they have your size.

    maybe they have one leg shorter than the other :D

    Who can afford to manufacture in this country? not many, unless you have a really good product no body can copy. Maybe then you could charge enough to survive. Then most would go China or india to make even more profit. Arnt Brintons openning a plant in China soon??
