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 !!

Now thats a point - Turbogold medals :-)
