I went to a wholesale store recently (a relative has a card, it's fairly easy to cheat) and bought the following items:- Leather boots.............. £17.00 Heavy duty hammer drill.....£14.99 Wood router.................£14.99 Collection of router bits...£20.00 900 watt gasoline generator.£69.99 I also had to pay 17.5% VAT on the total. All these goods were of high quality, the drill also had a set of large masonry hammer drills, a spare set of brushes and a container of grease for the gears. The wood router was of an advanced design and also had a set of router bits in a wooden case. I have a garage that is situated too far from my house to supply electric power, but the generator works perfectly. I expect these tools will last me 20 years or longer. As a comparison, a single large masonry drill bit made in Europe can cost £14.99 or more at the local hardware store. I have no complaints about the price of tools and clothes in this country. We should be returning some value to the nations who supply these items at such good prices. I haven't figured how we are going to do this at the moment.
