[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 476998, member: 1408"] I've thought the same for years Phil . My Missus won't have it that wev'e paid the inflated price all year but now someone has applied the word "Sales" they 're giving them away . No they're not , no one "gives" anything away , they are still making a profit , nothing wrong with profit but lets not forget what we've had to pay all year. Retail is nothing like our trade , it makes much more profit in my opinion. We did some work for a greetings card company some years ago , my mate sussed out they were buying cards in at 1 p cheapest ones marked up at around 75p most at £1.50 . Working in one of their high street shops , the manageress cashes up about 5.00 , phones in for the company van to collect cash . I heard her answer a question .."erm just under £3500 .00 today " Had a letter yesterday saying "We will renew your house & contents insurance automatically at £210.00 in three weeks time " I thought no you won't , its gone up by £90 in two years . Got a quote on the compare site , £87.00 phoned to cancel , guy says I can do it for £150 if you stay with us . Can you match £87 .00 ...No ...byee ! [/QUOTE]
