And then it went Bang

You need to update your website, then, Tony; it says you are taking orders for machined blocks at £850!

Hi mike,

I can't find that one on my website?

It's probably still running on my advert in the scottish meshing point. But we both would have been ten years younger when that advert was first run.

A lot has changed since then. Much of it to keep our glorious government in duck islands.

V.A.T has changed,now 20%
Gas is 3 x what it was 10 years ago
Same with the electric
Emissions up the chimney for the cast iron has gone up 400% in ten years.
And the foundry puts up the cost of iron every year to cover wage costs, rates on the building etc.

O Yes, and then there's those horrible workers who want a pay rise EVERY year.

It all goes onto the bill for parts being made in the UK. maybe a trader wants to get some made in China, unlikely to work, but they will be cheap.
