SL- just the other day I was picking my brother from an airport when a Hardy joint broke... I had to buy the new one in (reasonably) nearby shop for 10 EUR (incidentally I bought adjacent part as well for 5 EUR) and felt robbed. Back home I could have gotten them for 9 EUR together! And You buy spakplugs for £16 each?!?
OK, I must admit that replacing them in a rain wasn't exactly my idea of having a super time, but...
And- yes, I still like her.
