It must be a heavy bugger for that delivery price. Although they might go off size, so maybe you've just got a fat head?

15 quid flat rate, twice the cost of the product, no thanks.

A fiver to deliver something from Burnley to Scotland is a bargain.

About 100 quid in fuel if you come down for it yourself?

I can buy these masks for 12p each from my supplier
But they aren't Claret & Blue. In light blue sadly.
But seriously the prices being asked for some of these masks are ridiculous. Wear a scarf or buy from me!!!

Trust a Yorkshireman to get the best value.

We shouldn't be letting anything in the country from China for a good while.

Always surprises me how people begrudge paying for something to be transported hundreds of miles to your door. Given the number of people involved and the cost of fuel/packaging, I think £5 is remarkably cheap!
