Yep, it's a bummer- what a rip off. We call them halfrauds on this forum for good reason. Occasionally you get a good deal with some items. Halfords used to sell car parts and accessories,
if you go into a store now it's closer to 50% floor space for cycles and cycling accessories, that's where they're making their money. They're not interested in motorists. Maplins are another lot of rip off merchants, I really don't know how they stay in business.
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
