Price doesn't necessarily mean quality.


To me it does, especially if this indicates an energy efficiency
rating. I remember all too well the beginning of the bargain white
goods, tvs and hi fis (from japan and china) being sold in supermarkets
in the early 70s when people started bringing to our electrical shop
faulty and broken goods, hangry and annoyed at us for not being able to
repair them. I have always beleived that if you don't put in the price
for the quality, you can't hope for the good to last or work
efficiently. However, I do think there's bargains - but these bargains
have fallen out of a van or were found on a Devon's beach )

Those of us who have lived in NL too long
