Mapei P9

[paulyoung666]

a certain large retailer of all things tile related sold me a 20 kg bag of P9 for £11.76 inc vat , dont know if it was a mistake or a special offer of some sort , i dont want to mention the name as i was told it would be a bad idea , if anyone wants to know then PM me :8:

That is about what you should pay....

CTD was it...?..

 

[paulyoung666]

awwww thats alright then , what i found weird was i rang them up and they quoted £22 inc vat , so i thought i had got a bargain , oh well never mind , and yes Dave , you were right

 

[tfs]

thats a good price! I will need to keep that in mind as I pay a few quid more than that were Im getting it.

Is this just a promotion then?
