Anyone read those articles dotted around e.g. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...-a7655806.html

In summary and using illustrative figures
£5 wine : £1 VAT, £3 duty, £1.50 costs (including retailer) = 50p for wine
£10 wine : £2 VAT, £3 duty, £2.00 costs = £3.00 for wine

Double price but 6x value on wine.

Go too high you usually pay for the name.

Replacement oscillating bridge components for my series 3 Braun electric shaver. Many of the ( black ) parts have simply worn out. Thought it was getting a bit weak. I don't need to replace the white part. Fortunate as I don't know how to get the darn thing apart to get too it.

High speed train tickets from Rome to Florence for our holiday in Italy in June.

Not a bad price - buying in advance meant I got First Class seats for a journey taking 1 hour 20 minutes to travel 140 miles for only 41.15 Euros each, or £35.60 each.

And considering I renewed my Home Insurance (Building, Contents, including annual Holiday Insurance), and saved just over £100 with a phone call, I'm quids in... :-)

With my birthday money I bought a PS4 yesterday.

Been X1 since release and thought it was time to get the PS4. So many exclusive games to catch up on.

New keyboard and mouse for my main PC: Back to Logitech.

Can't wait to unplug these crappy Razer things and uninstall their horrible software.

Terramaster D5-300 RAID capable 5 bay USB disk enclosure.

Just had the USB 3 connector on my 8TB Seagate Backup Plus give up the ghost after nearly three years of service, so I though sod it. Replacing the connector is going to cost me whatever warranty I had, and a new drive is going to cost nearly £200, why not just strip the drive out ,put it in a new enclosure, and buy an enclosure that offers room to expand? It's also got a USB C connector, which seems a little more robust than the Micro USB 3 connectors do.

We've just come back from Rome, it was very nice.

We also visited Florence some years ago, but I don't really remember what was there :)

Any hints/tips, especially about restaurants/bars, would be most welcome.
