So had a look in B&Q to see if they had something similar. They had,
but self adhesive. And 3.68 for four. For four small pieces of plastic.
Perhaps people don't look at what things cost these days - relying on a
fair pricing policy?

B&Q 6 x 20 cross dowel £7.68 for 5 - £1.53 each

Screwfix 6 x 20 cross dowel £4.69 (1-5) for 50 - 9p each

(factor of 17)

I wanted some of those pressed metal picture hooks (where the little nail
goes through two sides of a triangle at the top). In an 'antique' shade,
because I wanted them to blend in (only used occasionally).

B&Q - £7.68 for 10.

Local hardware shop - £0.45 for 10.

Same factor of 17!
