Rip-offs? - let's hear about 'em.

[ColchesterFC]

Anything in the "baby" or "wedding" sections?

Don't get me started on the whole rip off of the wedding industry. A venue that you can hire for £2500 for a family party suddenly becomes £8000 if you want to hire it for a wedding reception. That's just extracting the urine.

Has the thread established itself enough to allow someone to suggest bits 'n' bobs and other small acessories for golf? I remember being in a pro shop somewhere where I could've bought a leading sports equipment company branded pitch repairer - a mere snip at £30

Ink cartridge for franking machines. They "time out" meaning if the ink isn't used by a certain time limit the cartridge shuts down, meaning you can't use the ink you have paid for - at £65 per cartridge.

Golf clothing.

Golf anything. A belt costs very little, a belt from a golf company costs £60 plus, hiking Waterproofs cost one price, add the word golf and it doubles, golf shoes cost more than most other sport footwear, the list goes on
