Re: Keeping Homebase in business....

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I've just got back from a scavenging expedition to my two local
stores, I managed to bag an X10 mini-timer for £9.99, five X10 modules (4
lamp, 1 appliance) for the ridiculous price of £7.49 each, and a portable
air-con unit for £164. - I have now cleared both of my local stores out of
X10 modules! (although they do still have some of the kits available...)
