Sad times, but needs must, so went to Liverpool store today, 20%, 25% and 40% off some stuff. 
For example, £44.99 for 1 set of EBC brake pads with 40% off........ that makes £26.99.
I walked out having bought nothing.
Closing down sales don't have customers walking out having spent nothing.
I can get 2 sets of the same pads off Ebay for just over £40 posted. Only slightly more at a local dealer not associated with HG.
The staff at Liverpool have been great to me as a customer over the years, for which I am very grateful and I have put quite a bit of business their way, but previous 'get the customer in' sales were far better than their closing down sale is now. I ain't buying 'owt yet, not 'till they really close down.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, FIX IT 'TILL IT IS.
