There are 12 steel and ally suppliers within 50 miles of where I am which is usefull. I'll phone up on my mobile at 9:30-10am, shop around and see what companies give the best price,then give the phone numbers and the order to the good lady wife who will then call them on the land line and manage to knock 2-5% off their price and even get it delivered for free!

Smart arse....
Just checked the original suppliers..
Looks like they get their steel from China.
So yea you could be right, either that or got gods knows what cr*p in it.
