Greetings,
I was on the 'phone tonight booking a rally.
The organiser asked if I had a towrope or similar and I had to admit that I had omitted purchasing one.
As soon as I got off the dog and bone I went onto Fleabay to make enquiries. The bloke I had spoken to had used the phrase "Sling" when referring to the article, so I searched "Tow rope sling" and out popped various types at various prices dependent upon the breaking strain.
A 5 tonne one came out at £20.:Sad:
The tyke in me came out and I omitted the word "sling" in my next search.
Guess what? up pops a 5 tonne sling, posted free from the other side of the world p &p free for the princely sum of £5.87.:thumb:
It cost nearly that to send a Birthday Card to my S in L in Australia.
How do they do it, and more importantly, which robbing so and so is trying to get £20 out of me.
