The smiley rather suggests you're taking the **** out of RS for
misquoting a 4700湩 450v large can electrolytic HT smoothing capacitor
as being a 12pF electrolytic capacitor.

or out of someone for thinking its 12pF

Mind you, you seemed to have missed the typo on the price which seems
to be inflated by an order of magnitude of error (at least when the
cap in question is a low grade 2000 hour lifetime rated 85 deg C
specimen). The pricing is all rather too Russ Andrewesque for my
taste. :-)

pretty normal for RS.
