That's a truism. At least being an electronics engineer by trade I can fix most stuff and have access to the specialist trade components.

Re: What have you just bought?

A nice new jacket I have had my eye on it for a while, it was £159 at the beginning of the year in Debenhams, then it came down to £99 , today it was on sale for £39". I bought it today, delighted that they had my size.

Re: What have you just bought?

A can of extra strong tropical insect repellent with 50% DEET. Horseflies try to make a meal of me without it if I'm out in the country and I react very badly to their bites.

Re: What have you just bought?

Cyprus style BBQ brought back from holidaying there. Price there is 100 Euro with a mains/car battery motor. I've seen same (similar) unit on net here but at £150 with no motor. Fun getting it boxed and on plane. Will put together soon.
