I'm sure there must also be a difference in quality.Prices can be fine if you can get stuff when it's on special offer but it's tough when you need something there and then.

I have yet to see one for twelve euros, and would certainly not buy it, unless it makes tea as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 No, you can use it for cooking fish and watching them squirm!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakunamatata Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 I wouldnt have bought it if the price had been on it but as usual there was no price and I never imagined it would be 12E - the lesson being always check a price before you buy I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
