I think I paid £30 in Robert Dyas, it came with a load of free bits as well.... ok they weren't ment to be free... I picked up the bag then started filling it with odds and sods, took it to the counter and the guy must of thought it came with the contents and I didn't tell him otherwise... :ninja: man I feel like i've just been to confession. Forgive me for I have sinned

Becareful though as there are two versions and the other one isn't as good

i saw one of these in Travis the other day, isn't supposed to score from both sides at the same time? I only looked quickly and decided it looked like a gimick but because it was made by Knauf i thought it might just work... Glad i didn't buy it now
