HI brian uk ,well mate the way the world money situation is at the moment I would have thought that the bargain's should be all over the place mate,as was my ''bargain ''amp-head'' reduced from 699.00 to 299.00 to clear the warehouse & recoup some money !!!!!!!
I don't know how it is in the ''UK'' but here in ''OZ'' the store's are having rediculous sales ...
& brian how does owr dollar compare to your pound that is not the exchange rate as such but a standard schooner of beer here I think is $3.50 OZ..& say a 50gram pack of tobacco is 25.00 ,& a litre of diesel is about $1.60, & aloaf of bread is about $ 3.50 [not that special english loaf as that is ''priceless'']HA.HAAAR.. an average 15'' car tyre would be about $125.00 etc etc etc ,,
cheers mate & all member's as well from the ''land-down-under''.............barry..

WELL brian on those item's after ''converting '' to our dollar your prices would be about the same as down here .. SO what say would be your fortnighly single & or married old-age govt-pension be ,mine is say aprox $ 900.00 per fortnight per couple ,with a health-care-card thrown in? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) THIS is not technical talk charlie ,but it is relevent to our hobbie HA.HAAR.. so brian are the celestions made in the ''UK'' or that other place that now produces 90% of the gear we buy.. AND has made our local producers defunk""" IF they are made ''over-there'' the cones are probably made from recycled milk carton's etc.. AND IT's nice to here the snow has melted to only ice now for you UK guy's & yes its only now in the high 30's with an odd day up to 40 but at least you can get some sleep!!!!!!! cheer's AND brian the sound around the corner ''BIT'' is a bit slow as in your ''racing day's'' you were taking corner's in a ''FLASH'' on the track mate you need to'' tune'' up the sound a bit.HA.HAAR. cheers brian & all member's & visitor's...............................barry.. & to all visitor's why not ''join-up & have a say? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ??

H Barry, has that Charlie got at you or were you pre-empting him LOL ;D......... I think gov' pensions differ , I know I get less than some folk I know because I didn't pay full stamp for quite a while when I was a musician I think, guess it's roughly around £110per week but no matter cos I have a smallish private one that helps it all along. I still got paid for the gig last week even tho' I didn't play, that's when you know who you're mates are isn't it, As for the sound around the corner bit, I still havn't got the inclination to do anything that requires any effort !!! and I mean anthing LOL. Not sure that this thread is getting in the realms of, "off topic" but Charlie will move it if it is, ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) Off now, have a look around the site, then lunch Yummy ;D ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) Cheers Brian

If a thread starts with a guitar related topic then it can stay where it is! Regards, Charlie

Hi,
I believe that the Vox branded "Celestion" blues are made in China, Celestion Branded blues are made in England!
A friend of mine has 3 original 60's blues and I'm trying to get him to sell me one!
