Different generations, different age expectations. I'm mid 40s, and enjoy reading a book, but can't remember the last time I bought a magazine, I just go to the net... Some of the mags you're talking about I've never heard of cos it's not in my conscious so buy one. The people younger than me...

Thanks, but having one 3 year old at home is enough without having to contend with some of the others on here at times! :D

Joe Nash, now I'm a bit confused... Got an alert you put a sad face next to my comment about if the op asked permission from admin, then you liked Matt's post which pretty much just backed up what I said earlier? Bit of a dichotomy where there isn't one. Not a wallflower, but just feel a bit...

Hopefully makes a bit more sense now fella, and I wasn't just doing it to be obstreperous.

TIn hat on, but this was my point in the other post where I got a bit of a slating for asking if they'd asked permission before advertising on their first post. 😕

Thanks H, knew I'd seen it somewhere. Unfortunately, Had this when I was a mod on other forums... they were/are for bringing likeminded people together with mutual interests, but if it becomes too easy to sell something then disappear cos that's a your only intention, the thread count went up...

What he said. Not sure if it breaks any rules, probably not, but there's definitely been a few times on here (and generally on other forums I've been a member of) where a first post has been an advert and the powers that be aren't overly chuffed cos it is a bit bad juju if you've not asked...

Now.        When I was a kid in the eighties, Remmie had a very different meaning, an abbreviation from the full word for the chaps in what would probably now be called the special educational needs classes... so are you talking about the gun or the bloke behind it?! :D

Presuming you asked the mods if it was okay to post this then, being a first post and all? Bit rude otherwise.

F*ck me, that's clever if you can do it when your not awake?!

Think you'll find it's just a number picked out the ether for this conversation to make it easy to make comparisons.

Dunno if it's still the case, but used to be that if you were caught commiting quite a few different types of crime, and also possessed a firearm whilst commiting them, the sentences were concurrent so there was no insentive NOT to be armed when doing them as it didn't make it any worse if you...

How much are cartridges costing you? Already established the clays are cheaper, wondering if steel is more expensive if that's why grounds have balanced their charges to avoid not being used.

Most are fully aware we're never going to even compete for much more than pride, so it's easily possible to price us into a position of not financing this market as much as some companies would like us to. Even way before this issue kicked in, I have had thoughts of whether I can justify...

Yeah, agree that small dealers will feel it more, but it's still gonna be seen as profiteering no matter how you slice it as they're not likely to have ever been forced into running that particular type of business. Yes, people will do what they want, but doesn't mean it does p1ss those people...

I have had an interesting little chat with another cartridge manufacturer before. They said that they need to be reeeeally careful when putting up prices if they need to to cover costs and make a profit:. If they put them up too much in one hit, they become comparably overpriced, and if they...

What he said. 😊 He might be a bit of a knobend but I may have to use it again as its vaguely convenient. 😉

Yes, I understood your point perfectly well before you wrote the above, I just don't agree with it, as it is simply profiteering on the dealer's part. Let me put it this way using your figures... He sells the existing cartridges at the current price, makes 5 quid per thousand. When he gets in...

Yup, but selling items on a shopfloor is never going to be the same trade context as a builder, etc. where you price up and THEN pay for materials at market price so that's fairly irrelevent in this discussion of price increases. If it's not a business you're prepared to have to shell out first...

Nah, that's completely arse about face fella, Will is correct in principle. There's a huge flaw in your argument here: if you're having to buy the raw materials AFTER an order is placed as you don't have it in stock, THEN the price would be higher as it's reflective of what you're having to...
