Anyway, I bought it from a local shop - Just a small shop - Support your local businesses and stuff - Paid £22.00 for it, cause it was something from my childhood I wanted to share with them, and it's not something you see much these days. So I took it back and they didn't want to know...

The only thing they would do, is sell me another one - Full price - Which has now gone up to £25.00

So I've come home and ordered an identical one, from the manufacturers, via amazon, it arrives tomorrow and has cost me £12.00

Is there another reason that local stores are going out of business?
