One sovereign Jonnyboy.
I also bought some scotchbrite which was brown (thought it only came in green) and some of those lovely microfiber jibby jobbie cloths - blue in the main with white stripes. Now what's odd is that they weren't a nicker........they were actually a nicker and a half.
Was I ripped off?

Brown (or red) scotchbrite is actually better if you are trying to replicate brushed alloy finish. green is a bit too fine  My bargain of the year (2014) had to be 2 NOS left hand pedals that were listed on ebay a week before xmas, like hens teeth they are and were a buy it now for £18 each!! Better than anything I got for xmas, I was even going to ask them not to send till after xmas in case they got lost as they are so rare but they sent them by courier, free p&p too  |

Last Sunday I was driving across to the opposite end of Dublin from where I am. (I actually was on my way to buy an old brass Prima coal miners oil lamp as a present for 'Her Ladyship' as she wanted one as an ornament (It's a copy of a Davey lamp I think), ended up buying it, It is stamped Made in Birmingham, its very heavy for it's size and probably has a lot of history to it. I stopped into a corner shop to break a 50 euro note and decided to buy something small like an apple, except there were no apples in the shop. I spotted a basket full of sealed 10 packs of plastic bubble sealed shaving razors, they looked like an expensive type as they had 3 blades in the head, (Mack 3 type of stuff).
I decided to spend 10 euro and buy 10 packs as they were only one euro per pack. So I would be well stocked for ages.
When I got to the counter, there was a middle aged Pakistani looking guy there who looked like he owned the shop (which was way under stocked) He even looked like the guy in the corner shop in the Simpsons cartoon show.
The first think I noticed was that he had a smirk on his face, I presumed this was because I was buying a total of 100 razors.
Sunday night I threw my old Bic razors away because they had gone blunt anyway.
Monday morning all wet in the shower and under time pressure to get to work, I opened the first pack only to find that all 10 in the pack were totally blunt to the point that they were useless. in fact later I discovered that all 100 were the same, useless.
After breaking one I discovered that the blades were in fact very sharp but the blades had all been fitted and moulded in reverse into the plastic head, (who ever had loaded the machine in the factory had loaded the blades back ways). The shop I bough them in is about 25 miles away and I don't even remember where it was or what it was called. But at this stage I will just f**k them away and say fair play to Pakistani guy for out foxing me! |
