Good grief - how do they DO that and get away with it? I suppose they have
big staffing overheads or something but I should think we charge about £3
or
£4 for 100 bulbs. I'll have to check I'm not missing something off here

I think they work on the same principal as the Infamous "Kent County
nurseries" of bygone days did that with 60 million suckers out ther if
you can take each one once who cares about return customers.
Remember their climbing strawberries?
