Personally I use my local shop for everything, if they haven't got it they can get it, I can walk in their and have a friendly chat with them. All this competition in price is killing it for most shops. People should try and support their local shops where they can, if they don't you won't have a local shop.

i agree but when the local model shop sells i.e. a novak gtb2 @ £120 and i can get it from hongkong for £65 inside a week what are you going to do

its not the shops its the TAX TAX TAX they have to pay look a little closer to westminster .............................
