Actually no, not in this case. We weren't changing makes to get a better
deal, we were doing it to boycott a particular manufacturer because they
had a policy of selling to the DIY sheds at a lower price than to the trade.
The change was mostly to the main competitor, and the quality was at
least as good.


I take it you think the price a maker sells something to various different
customers should be controlled by law?

No, unlike like you I'm not a statist/commie. They can sell at whatever
price pleases them and customers can vote with their feet. That's the
free market, an alien concept to the likes of you I think.
