Anyone read those articles dotted around e.g. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...-a7655806.html
In summary and using illustrative figures
£5 wine : £1 VAT, £3 duty, £1.50 costs (including retailer) = 50p for wine
£10 wine : £2 VAT, £3 duty, £2.00 costs = £3.00 for wine
Double price but 6x value on wine.
Go too high you usually pay for the name.

Re: What have you just bought?
Replacement oscillating bridge components for my series 3 Braun electric shaver. Many of the ( black ) parts have simply worn out. Thought it was getting a bit weak. I don't need to replace the white part. Fortunate as I don't know how to get the darn thing apart to get too it.

Re: What have you just bought?
High speed train tickets from Rome to Florence for our holiday in Italy in June.
Not a bad price - buying in advance meant I got First Class seats for a journey taking 1 hour 20 minutes to travel 140 miles for only 41.15 Euros each, or £35.60 each.
And considering I renewed my Home Insurance (Building, Contents, including annual Holiday Insurance), and saved just over £100 with a phone call, I'm quids in... :-)

Re: What have you just bought?
With my birthday money I bought a PS4 yesterday.
Been X1 since release and thought it was time to get the PS4. So many exclusive games to catch up on.

Re: What have you just bought?
New keyboard and mouse for my main PC: Back to Logitech.
Can't wait to unplug these crappy Razer things and uninstall their horrible software.

Re: What have you just bought?
Terramaster D5-300 RAID capable 5 bay USB disk enclosure.
Just had the USB 3 connector on my 8TB Seagate Backup Plus give up the ghost after nearly three years of service, so I though sod it. Replacing the connector is going to cost me whatever warranty I had, and a new drive is going to cost nearly £200, why not just strip the drive out ,put it in a new enclosure, and buy an enclosure that offers room to expand? It's also got a USB C connector, which seems a little more robust than the Micro USB 3 connectors do.

We've just come back from Rome, it was very nice.
We also visited Florence some years ago, but I don't really remember what was there
