Re: What have you just bought?
Not beer.
The wholesaler increased prices by 21%, that means the retail price would be OVER the Minimum Unit Price that hasn't even started yet.
Some retailers have cut their mark-up, but mine joined others in refusing to buy it at that price.

Re: What have you just bought?
Witherspoons are reducing the price of beer from 31 January to celebrate Brexit, I think it has to last into a date in Febuary

Headphones and a mini amplifier to plug them into for a hard-of-hearing neighbour who refuses to wear his NHS hearing aids to listen to TV.
All the other alternatives were bluetooth which his TV doesn't support.

Re: What have you just bought?
I find a switch to be a reliable item.

I have a lot of Hue lights, but these are way over priced. I do use these though as they are a better alternative (Price wise). They are a godsend for our hallway.

Re: What have you just bought?
ESTA check (passed, phew...) for our trip to Florida in March - did it in advance, as if there were any problems, you have to go to the US Embassy for further discussions, and there can be a six week wait for appointments (and they don't care if you trip is before that).
Better safe than sorry.

That costs over £1000, wasn't the refurb price a far better deal?

Re: What have you just bought?
Several prototype printed circuits (PCBs) 2 layer and 4 layer with Newbury Electronics "PCB train" service for a client.
Not cheap but they are reliable and the quality is good. They can do a one day turn round but that really costs so I've get them on 10 working day to help keep the price down.
Everything is done on-line and if they have a query then it's usually resolved by e-mails.

Refurb was £589, but it would have been the 2015 model with 128GB, like the original.
