Reading around Usenet, he *always* goes for the pikey solution for himself.
Examples include his hunt for the cheapest, nastiest laminate floor. His
use of an undersized combi which needs an electric booster heater
(laughable after all his rants about combis here). His dumbfounded lack of

instant expert on SDS who bought a pikey SDS drill from Aldi or one of the
other German **** shops.
