Tried to buy some 6x90 turbogold coach screws yesterday from my local
Screwfix trade counter. None in stock. None at the warehouse for next day
delivery.

Tried 8x90 - none, 6 x 90 turbogold screws - none, various other sizes - all
out of stock.

Apparently the turbogold range and most others is made in China and the
factories were all closed down a few weeks before the Olympic Games to help
clear the smog.....

Or they turned them in to Gold Medals !!
