My propensity for buying faulty goods continues.

I'm clutching my pearls.

My favourite shop in the world is the bolt shop. Where a person will spend half an hour looking for a tiny bag of nuts/bolts/washers for you and charge you $3.2. Mean while that tiny bag of hardware would be $28 at hammerbarn once you'd find them. The blister pack tax.

My "local" bolt shop is 40km away and considerably more expensive than the big green shed.
The bliter pack tax is more than compensated by the who uses imperial discount.
