Tried explaining to the wife but she did not care........

Off to the Pyrenees next week so I thought I would get some new stuff for this year. I always like to buy from UK suppliers where possible and if I can Local to me. So after a fair bit of netting I started to order what I wanted. All I have got is "out of stock" and "on back order". Seems most of the internet suppliers I tried only buy of thee manufacturer when they get an order.

So undeterred I set off to the local dealer North of Birmingham, then South then East then West.

No one seems to carry any stock these days. I only got asked in one shop (HG) if I wanted to order one in, all the others just said "We haven't got it".

Is it just me or has the world gone to manufacturing to order!!!!!!!!!!!!!
